Juden Raus!



Are the words the Jews of Germany are hearing from their government.  A few months ago a court in Cologne, Germany decided that circumcision on boys was illegal and immoral.  This flies in the face of Freedom of Religion.  Circumcision of male infants on the 8th day of life is mandatory under Jewish Law.

From The Jewish Virtual Library:
Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin of the penis. The rite of circumcision (brit milah) is one of the most ancient practices of Judaism. The commandment to circumcise male children was given to Abraham in the Torah (Genesis 17:7­-14 and repeated in Leviticus 12:3):
And God said unto Abraham: 'And as for thee, thou shalt keep My covenant, thou, and thy seed after thee throughout their generations. This is My covenant, which ye shall keep, between Me and you and thy seed after thee: every male among you shall be circumcised. And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of a covenant betwixt Me and you. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any foreigner, that is not of thy seed. He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised; and My covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant. And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that should shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken My covenant. [English translation from 1917 JPS Tanach.]
Circumcision is (in general) a common denominator among movements: Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist, Orthodox — all circumcise their male children and require male converts to undergo some form of circumcision.

Furthermore, faith is the only reason that Jews should circumcise their male children. In Moreh Nevuchim (Guide for the Perplexed), chapter 49, the Rambam says: "No one, however, should circumcise himself or his son for any other reason than pure faith; for circumcision is not like an incision on the leg or a burn on the arm, but a very difficult operation."

Current medical fashions play no role in circumcision, as it is a religious rite to Jews. Thus, it is pointless to attempt to argue for or against circumcision from a basis of medical need.

The circumcision is done the eighth day after birth, unless ill health or serious medical problems prevent it. Even Shabbat does not stop a Brit. If a child is not circumcised, he is still considered a Jew [San. 44a; Hoffmann, Melamed Leho­il, Yoreh De­a, #79]. However, if there are no medical contraindications (e.g., hemophilia), it is incumbent for the individual to arrange for their circumcision when medically safe to do so.
But for Rabbi David Goldberg of Hof in Barvaria this is illegal and punishable by imprisonment.
A German rabbi has been sued after performing a circumcision on a baby, the Jüdische Allgemeine magazine reported.

The report said that the proceedings were launched against the rabbi of the city of Hof in Bavaria, Rabbi David Goldberg. The lawsuit claims that circumcision inflicts “physical harm” on an infant.

Chief prosecutor Gerhard Schmitt confirmed in a conversation with journalists that legal proceedings against Rabbi Goldberg are in place. The complainant, according to the report, is a doctor from the city of Hessen, who is basing his claims on a recent court ruling which said that circumcision for religious reasons may be considered an illegal act.

The district court in Cologne recently banned the practice of circumcision, outraging Muslims and Jews and sparking an emotional debate in the country.

The court ruled, on the basis of one infant who did not receive proper care, that non-medical circumcision, practiced by most Jews and Muslims, causes bodily harm and therefore is a crime.

The practice is a “serious and irreversible interference in the integrity of the human body,” the court decided.

Muslims and Jews later banded together to ask the German parliament to overrule the court ban on circumcision. There are approximately four million Muslims and 150,000 Jews living in Germany.

Germany's lower house of parliament recently passed a resolution to protect the religious circumcision of infant boys.

The resolution, jointly filed by Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives, their liberal coalition ally (FDP) and the opposition Social Democrats (SPD), demanded that “the government present a draft law in the autumn ... that guarantees that the circumcision of boys, carried out with medical expertise and without unnecessary pain, is permitted.” The new law would overrule the Cologne court decision.

The local Jewish community has contacted Israel’s Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Yona Metzger, and asked him to work to accelerate the passing of legislation that would allow circumcision in Germany.

Rabbi Metzger is expected to address decision makers in Germany, among them members of the Bundestag, including senior ministers and members of the Ethics Committee which has the authority to decide on the issue.

The grandfathers of these New Nazis must be very proud of their offspring.  What Hitler and the gas chambers could not do, they will do very well.  What really amazes me is why any Jew would live in Germany knowing the history of that barbaric nation?

It is time for the Jews of Germany to tell the German barbarians once and for all that they will not obey this law.  It is time for the Jews of Germany to leave that land before they ignore the horror that they brought upon this world and finish the job their countryman Hitler started.  I wonder if they will include Muslims in this round of gassing?

Germany Finally Found A Way To Become Judenfrei.

The Nazi government couldn't do it, even with laws, concentration camps, and gas chambers.  Today there are over 200,000 Jews living in Germany.  (They need to have their heads examined for it.)  But now a court in the city of Cologne has found a way to get rid of their Jews.
A German court has ruled that circumcision is a criminal offense, and a Norwegian political party has proposed a law to outlaw the religious practice.

Non-medical circumcision, practiced by most Jews and Muslims, causes bodily harm and therefore is a crime, a Cologne court ruled.

The practice is a "serious and irreversible interference in the integrity of the human body,” the Cologne district court decided, the Financial Times Deutschland newspaper reported on Tuesday.

The ruling involved the case of a Muslim doctor who performed a circumcision on a four-year-old boy, who later suffered bleeding and was taken to a hospital emergency room. The decision is likely to be appealed to the Federal Constitutional Court.

Holm Putzke of the University of Passau, who has been fighting circumcision for years, told the newspaper, “The ruling is enormously important above all for doctors because it's the first time that they have a legal certainty” that they are committing a crime.

He added, “The court has, in contrast to many politicians, not allowed itself to be scared by the fear of being criticized as anti-Semitic or opposed to religion.”

In Norway, Center Party official justice policy spokeswoman Jenny Klinge said she wants circumcision to be declared illegal, a move that would jeopardize the future of the 700-member Jewish community.

She told the Dagbladet newspaper that circumcision of girls already is prohibited and that the law should be extended to males.

Circumcision is perhaps the most widely-observed religious practice among Jews. Jewish history is marked with those who have risked their lives – and many who have lost them – for upholding the mitzvah that was first performed by the forefather Abraham.

An anti-circumcision movement in the United States last year was stopped when a petition to end the practice in San Francisco was taken off the ballot because it violated state law.

Circumcision has been credited with preventing the spread of diseases, particularly in Africa.

I expect this from Norway.  A nation that blames every problem in the world on the Jews.  But I keep getting told that Germany is no longer like that.  That they refute their Nazi past.  I guess not.  I suppose that eventually they will be returning this the flag they are proudest of:

To Snip Or Not To Snip



Will somebody please tell the idiots leftists in San Francisco that being a circumcised man gives you a 15% lower for Prostate Cancer risk than an uncircumcised man.  Strange that this information did not come from any Israeli University but from Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.
Circumcised men may have a slightly lower risk of developing prostate cancer than those who still have their foreskin, according to a US study.

The World Health Organization already recommends the controversial procedure based on research showing it lowers heterosexual men's risk of contracting HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

Last year scientists also reported that wives and girlfriends of circumcised men had lower rates of infection with human papillomavirus or HPV, which in rare cases may lead to cervical and other cancers. And last week, researchers reported that African men who were circumcised were less likely to be infected with a particular herpes virus.

The new study, published in the journal Cancer, jibes with those findings but falls short of actually proving that circumcision will reduce a boy's future cancer risk, said Jonathan Writer, at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, who led the study.

"I would not go out and advocate for widespread circumcision to prevent prostate cancer," Wright said. "We see an association, but it doesn't prove causality."

Although most US men are circumcised, the procedure has become less popular over the past decade, and various groups have spoken out against it. In September, the Royal Dutch Medical Association discouraged the practice, calling it a "painful and harmful ritual."

For their study, Wright and his colleagues compared two groups of more than 1,600 men who had answered questions about their medical history, sex life and whether or not they were circumcised. Half had prostate cancer, the others didn't.

In the group with cancer, 69 percent of the men have been circumcised, compared to 72 percent of those without cancer -- suggesting a small protective effect.

Even accounting for a host of other factors, such as age, race and whether or not the men had been screened for prostate cancer, those who were circumcised still had a 15 percent lower risk of the disease.

"Circumcision before first sexual intercourse is associated with a reduction in the relative risk of prostate cancer in the study population," Wright and his colleagues wrote.

The foreskin is prone to tiny tears during sex, which may help bacteria and viruses enter the bloodstream.

Wright said that some viruses can trigger cancer when they are incorporated into human DNA. Another possibility is that sexually transmitted microorganisms could lead to cancer by causing chronic inflammation.

While for the majority of people in the United States circumcision is a matter of preference, for Jews and Muslims circumcision by a certain age is a mandatory obligation under the faith.

I guess G-d knew what he was doing when he demanded Abraham to circumcise himself and his people.  And Science backs this up.

Anti-Semites In San Francisco Thwarted For Now

Thus is the Law of Moses and it seems the Law in San Francisco.  So says Judge Loretta Giorgi.
San Francisco Superior Court Judge Loretta Giorgi on Wednesday issued a tentative ruling saying the proposed ballot measure to ban circumcision in the city must be withdrawn, calling it "expressly preempted" by state law.

Lloyd Schofield, 59 year old anti-circumcision activist, was determined to have male circumcision banned by legislation in San Francisco. For starters, he gathered 12,000 signatures, while ony 7,168 are required for the city of 750,000 by the city’s Department of Elections, for his proposal to be placed on the ballet in the November 8th San Francisco elections .

The measure, which would only apply in San Francisco, was intended make it a crime to circumcise a minor, regardless of the parents' religious beliefs. The maximum penalty would be a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

The ban’s campaign material included anti-Semitic comic books depicting a Jewish mohel, or circumcision practitioner, as the sinister villain "Foreskin Man", in the inimitable style of the Protocol of the Elders of Zion and the Nazi Der Sturmer.

According to the Associated Press the plaintiffs of record in the lawsuit filed against the measure included five Jews, three Muslims, two doctors who regularly perform the procedure, the local chapter of the Jewish Community Relations Council and the national Anti-Defamation League (ADL).

Volunteers have been working at debunking the misconceptions about circumcision, citing medical and freedom of religion issues.

Judge Giorgi put the controversy on hold by stating on Wednesday that the California Business and Professions Code prohibits local regulation of medical procedures.

She added that it "serves no legitimate purpose" for an illegal measure to remain on the ballot and ordered elections Chief John Arntz to remove it. According to Arntz, after Sept. 1 it will be difficult to remove the proposal from the ballots because they go to the printers. Ideally, the judge will have issued a ruling by that date, stopping the proposal in its tracks.

If the law is on the ballot and passes, it will run up against an overriding state and/or federal law, so there is no chance of the circumcision restrictions ever taking effect.

Abby Porth, associate director of the Jewish Community Relations Council, said she's delighted the "extreme and hurtful" measure might not even appear before voters.

"The idea we would put doctors in jail for performing a procedure with known health benefits that parents request for their children is outrageous," she said.

“Even if it made the ballot, we don’t believe it would have passed,” Porth said.

So far the courts have stopped this travesty of the legal system from being pushed forward.  But the anti-Semites have stated that they will appeal.  And there is the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.  A court notorious for their extreme liberal views.  Until then, this obscene law will not be on the ballot, will be dead on arrival.

The Eternal Covenant

Hat tip to Chabad


In light of the upcoming vote in San Francisco to ban circumcision, I discovered this little gem.  It speaks volumes of why Jews find this law abhorrent and a slap in the face to each of us.




With every mitzvah we bind ourselves to G-d. Except brit milah.
When a Jew is circumcised, G-d binds Himself to him with an eternal covenant.

Thus is the Law of Moses, the Law of Israel.  Since Father Abraham until today, we have not broken the covenant.  When the Greeks forbade us, we went to war and won (Ever wonder why the Maccabees went to war?).  Under persecution and pogroms the covenant was kept.  During the horrors of the Holocaust and the repression of the Soviet System, the covenant was kept.  When not circumcising our sons would make it easier for them to achieve success, the covenant was kept.  And if Matthew Hess and Lloyd Schofield get their wish and ban circumcision from the city of San Francisco in the hopes of destroying the Jewish people, they will be surprised.  For we will fill the jails but NEVER DESTROY THE ETERNAL COVENANT WITH G-D!

In every generation there are those who come to destroy us.  We are still here, they have gone.

It Only Took 70 Years

For the old hatred, anti-Semitism to return in force.



Yes folks.  It is acceptable, laudable, even approved by various European governments to hate the Jews.  Even better my European readers, it is your civic duty to drive these evil Nazis Zionists from your nations.  Better yet, why not round them up and gas eliminate them all.  Thus you will please your Muslim Masters Immigrants who will NOT riot or demand any more concessions from you.  Your continent is off to a good start.  You have decided to ban Kosher Meat, blame the Jews for all the ills and problems in your society, and are forcing your Jews to leave the continent.  Your great leader Hitler would be proud of you.

 Yet there is a lone voice in the wilderness.  A prophet of new speaking out his mind, his rage, his anger at his nation (Great Britain), Europe, the West and the World at large.

Pat Condell on Let's Blame The Jews



Oh, but Europe isn't the only land at fault.  Here in the US, official anti-Semitism is on the move.  In San Francisco and Santa Monica it will become illegal to circumcise your son.  And these same cities and a few states are looking to implement the same ban on Kosher Meat that New Zealand and Europe have enacted.

Yes, pretty soon we will see scenes like this:


And this:


Or your greatest wish:



This is the result of what the resurgent anti-Semitism will bring.  But then again, the left was awfully upset that Hitler didn't kill all of the Jews, and left some alive.

In Every Generation They Come To Destroy Us!


Hat Tip to Israel Matzav

The legislature of Massachusetts a Massoftwoshits is deciding to destroy the Jewish faith.  It will ban the practice of Circumcision in the state.  If a circumcision is performed, the parents of the child will be subject to a large fine and 14 years in prison.
BOSTON  - To circumcise or not to circumcise?

It's a question parents of baby boys have to decide but now there's a discussion on Beacon Hill that would take that choice away from parents in this state.

State lawmakers will debate a bill today that would make it illegal for parents to circumcise boys, unless there's a medical reason.

It would ban the procedure on any male under the age of 18 even for religious reasons.

Under the legislation, people who disregard the ban would face a fine and possible 14-year prison sentence.

The proposal classifies male circumcision as genital mutilation and supporters of the bill say male infants can't possible consent to the procedure.

They testified here on Beacon Hill, calling circumcision unethical at its core.

The Centers for Disease Control says lack of circumcision has been linked to sexually transmitted diseases, urinary tract infections and penile cancer.

In the US, common complications include minor bleeding and infection.

The CDC doesn't recommend either way, preferring to leave the decision up to the person and their parents.

Here in Massachusetts, some say there are bigger issues at hand for lawmakers.
If you read the comments on the site you see the full mind of the anti-Semitic, Moonbatty, liberal left.  This coming during Kill All The Jews Week Israel Apartheid Week on US Campuses, and it is any wonder why Jews are afraid to walk the streets of US cities any more.

For the record:  Both the CDC and WHO recommend circumcision to control the spread of AIDS and other STDs. Men who are circumcised have lower incidences of Cancer of the Penis.

Outside of the Medical benefits, there are religious considerations to consider.

It is required by every Jewish parent to circumcise their sons on the 8th day of life.
Brit Milah: Circumcision

Of all of the commandments in Judaism, the brit milah (literally, Covenant of Circumcision) is probably the one most universally observed. It is commonly referred to as a bris (covenant, using the Ashkenazic pronunciation). Even the most secular of Jews, who observe no other part of Judaism, almost always observe these laws. Of course, until quite recently, the majority of males in the United States were routinely circumcised, so this doesn't seem very surprising. But keep in mind that there is more to the ritual of the brit milah than merely the process of physically removing the foreskin, and many otherwise non-observant Jews observe the entire ritual.

The commandment to circumcise is given at Gen. 17:10-14 and Lev. 12:3. The covenant was originally made with Abraham. It is the first commandment specific to the Jews.

Circumcision is performed only on males. Although some cultures have a practice of removing all or part of the woman's clitoris, often erroneously referred to as "female circumcision," that ritual has never been a part of Judaism.

Like so many Jewish commandments, the brit milah is commonly perceived to be a hygienic measure; however the biblical text states the reason for this commandment quite clearly: circumcision is an outward physical sign of the eternal covenant between G-d and the Jewish people. It is also a sign that the Jewish people will be perpetuated through the circumcised man. The health benefits of this practice are merely incidental. It is worth noting, however, that circumcised males have a lower risk of certain cancers, and the sexual partners of circumcised males also have a lower risk of certain cancers.

The commandment is binding upon both the father of the child and the child himself. If a father does not have his son circumcised, the son is obligated to have himself circumcised as soon as he becomes an adult. A person who is uncircumcised suffers the penalty of kareit, spiritual excision; in other words, regardless of how good a Jew he is in all other ways, a man has no place in the World to Come if he is uncircumcised.

Circumcision is performed on the eighth day of the child's life, during the day. The day the child is born counts as the first day, thus if the child is born on a Wednesday, he is circumcised on the following Wednesday. Keep in mind that Jewish days begin at sunset, so if the child is born on a Wednesday evening, he is circumcised the following Thursday. Circumcisions are performed on Shabbat, even though they involve the drawing of blood which is ordinarily forbidden on Shabbat. The Bible does not specify a reason for the choice of the eighth day; however, modern medicine has revealed that an infant's blood clotting mechanism stabilizes on the eighth day after birth. As with almost any commandment, circumcision can be postponed for health reasons. Jewish law provides that where the child's health is at issue, circumcision must wait until seven days after a doctor declares the child healthy enough to undergo the procedure.

Circumcision involves surgically removing the foreskin of the penis. The circumcision is performed by a mohel (lit. circumciser; rhymes with oil), a pious, observant Jew educated in the relevant Jewish law and in surgical techniques. Circumcision performed by a regular physician does not qualify as a valid brit milah, regardless of whether a rabbi says a blessing over it, because the removal of the foreskin is itself a religious ritual that must be performed by someone religiously qualified.

If the child is born without a foreskin (it happens occasionally), or if the child was previously circumcised without the appropriate religious intent or in a manner that rendered the circumcision religiously invalid, a symbolic circumcision may be performed by taking a pinprick of blood from the tip of the penis. This is referred to as hatafat dam brit.

While the circumcision is performed, the child is held by a person called a sandek. In English, this is often referred to as a godfather. It is an honor to be a sandek for a bris. The sandek is usually a grandparent or the family rabbi. Traditionally, a chair (often an ornate one) is set aside for Elijah, who is said to preside over all circumcisions. Various blessings are recited, including one over wine, and a drop of wine is placed in the child's mouth. The child is then given a formal Hebrew name.

It is not necessary to have a minyan for a bris, but it is desirable if feasible.

As with most Jewish life events, the ritual is followed by refreshments or a festive meal.

From Judaism 101
Every totalitarian state in the past who tried to destroy Judaism first banned circumcision.  The banning of circumcision was a major factor for the Maccabees to revolt against the Greeks.

The First Amendment to the US Constitution reads:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
This law does just that.  And it is wrong!
