FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
A group of Orthodox rabbis in Wednesday issued a warning against further
restrictions in Europe of the ancient Jewish practice.
Last
month’s verdict by a regional court in Cologne didn’t ban
circumcision. But it prompted angry protests from Jewish and Muslims groups,
especially after the German Medical Association advised doctors not to
perform unnecessary circumcisions until the legal situation is clarified –
something Germany’s government has pledged to do soon.
“Our fears that the court ruling in Cologne could have a knock-on effect
across Europe are now being realized,” said Pinchas Goldschmidt, the
president of the Conference of European Rabbis.
He said Jewish leaders across the continent would seek out lawmakers and
government officials to impress on them how central the practice is to their
faith, and to forestall further restrictions elsewhere.
While Muslims, too, commonly circumcise their sons at a young age, in Judaism
the procedure must take place eight days after birth. According to religious
law, an uncircumcised male isn’t considered fully part of the Jewish
community, Goldschmidt said.
“In order to change that we would have to convene a supreme Jewish religious
court, which has not convened for the last 2,000 years,” he told The
Associated Press.
The German government is expected to propose a bill this fall which would
ensure that circumcision remains legal in the country.
The Children’s Hospital in Zurich said it hopes to reach a decision next month
about whether to resume circumcisions. So far, the suspension has delayed
only two planned operations, because many Jewish parents prefer to have
their sons circumcised privately, Stuecheli said.
