Israel schafft es immer äußerst wirksam, seinen Einfluss aufgrund eines "besonders Sein" einzusetzen - wie bei der Beschneidung, also der Rechtfertigung der Körperverletzung von kleinen Babys/Jungen - und diesen unzeitgemäßen und einschneidenden Ritus auf Gesetzesgrundlagen zu stellen. Natürlich alles immer mit Verweis auf die "Tora", oder noch wirksamer auf den den Holocaust. Sobald die EU einen guten Ansatz in Brüssel oder Straßburg beschließt, können wir sicher sein, dass dieser durch enorm effizientes Lobbying im Sinne des "jüdischen Staates" geändert wird!

But the official said the reply will most likely be “wishy-washy,” essentially ignoring the parliamentary resolution on male circumcision while possibly condemning female genital mutilation, which is already illegal in most member countries.

...as well as Germany, which would be forced to do so for historical reasons..

Zunehmend werden in Israel Stimmen laut, die dieses Ritual in Frage stellen. Nach einer Umfrage würden bis zu einem Drittel der israelischen Eltern darauf verzichten, wenn der soziale Druck nicht so enorm wäre. Tendenz steigend. Warum ist das so?

"An informal online survey conducted in 2006 by the Israeli parenting portal Mamy found that of 1,418 parents of boys, 4.8 percent did not have them circumcised. The reasons given: 1.6 percent were not Jews; 2 percent objected to disfiguring the body; and 1.2 percent refrained because the act is painful.

The survey also found that nearly a third of the parents would prefer to forgo circumcision but nevertheless have it done for social reasons ‏(16.6 percent‏), health reasons ‏(10.4 percent‏) and because it is important for the grandparents ‏(2.1 percent‏)."

"Circumcising children significantly lowers chances of diseases, MK Meir Sheetrit (Hatnua) told the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development Wednesday, using scientific arguments rather than religious ones in the continued battle against attempts to ban brit mila, or ritual circumcision.

"The committee said that circumcision is dangerous because 1.5 percent of children get infected," Sheetrit told The Jerualem Post Wednesday evening, "but infections can be taken care of. Circumcised males are 60% less susceptible to HIV and it lowers the risk of penile and prostate cancer. Those are fatal diseases, as opposed to a passing infection."
Sheetrit explained that the PACE members who passed the resolution "thought the risks outweigh the benefits, but that simply isn't true."

The committee could not overturn its resolution from October, but Sheetrit hopes to convince the PACE plenum to vote it down when circumcision is brought to a vote there in January.

The handheld signs say "Many thanks!" in a variety of languages. The large sign reads as follows:
"On September 30 [2013], a prominent group of Nordic ombudsmen for children, pediatricians, and pediatric surgeons met in Oslo to sign a resolution urging their national governments to protect boys from ritual circumcision.

The following day, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe adopted a resolution naming non-therapeutic circumcision a 'violation of the physical integrity of children' and called on its forty-seven member states to consider the best interests of the child in regard to male, female, and intersex genital cutting practices.

On October 10, the Nordic Association of Clinical Sexology issued a press release citing the protective and sexual functions of the foreskin and encouraging governments to take necessary measures to protect the bodily integrity and human rights of children in regard to non-therapuetic genital surgery.

Members of Bay Area Intactivists applaud these efforts to protect the fundamental human rights of children and we extend our gratitude to the growing number of individuals around the world who are working to end forced genital cutting.

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, in full respect of ages-old faiths and the basic right of freedom of religion, and reiterating its longstanding advocacy of religious tolerance declares hereby that the circumcision of male children, in contrast to female genital mutilation, is a religious rite, performed for thousands of years. The Parliamentary Assembly recognizes that male circumcision is a basic and vital tenet of Judaism and Islam, and an important tradition in a number of Christian denominations.

The Parliamentary Assembly notes that claims that circumcision harms the health and body of young boys do not rest on scientific evidence. As demonstrated in an official paper published by the American Academy of Pediatrics in August 2012, there are health benefits of newborn male circumcision.

Knesset Diplomatic Adviser Oded Ben-Hur says the Culture Committee is preferable, because the resolution "has to do with tradition and culture in a broader sense."

...declares hereby that the circumcision of male children, in contrast to female genital mutilation, is a religious rite, performed for thousands of years.

The resolution will be brought to the PACE Bureau, a broader forum than the Presidium,
on January 27, which is also International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

wird das leider den Ruf der Religionen weiter beschädigen.

Wer's vergleichen möchte:

There is not, and cannot be, a “right” to circumcise young boys. Children are not mini-beings with mini-human rights. By contrast, in an accompanying recommendation, our assembly invited European governments to consider making “children’s right to physical integrity” a continent-wide standard.The assembly’s resolution cannot be rescinded or altered. However, as we hoped, debate is underway — though not always in the most focused or productive manner. (What does it say about the quality of opponents’ arguments if calling for a public debate is seen as a precursor to oppression and pogroms?)

American Jews received an odd Christmas message from one of the country’s most prestigious newspapers yesterday. The Washington Post published an article by Swiss parliamentarian Liliane Maury Pasquier titled “Is circumcision a right?” The piece was a disingenuous defense of the resolution passed by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe’s Committee on Social Affairs, Health and Sustainable Development, which she chairs, to endorse children’s right to physical integrity. The purpose of the vote was to give a crucial boost to efforts to ban circumcision throughout Europe, a heretofore-marginal cause that has recently gained ground in Germany and Scandinavia.
