'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is an anonymous Facebook page. Because it links to the interesting and informative website ''[https://www.jewfaq.org/about_jewfaq Judaism 101]'' by a Tracey Rich<ref>{{REFweb

== IntactiWiki comment ==
The claim of this Facebook page implicates that [[intactivism]] must be [[anti-Semitic]] from its beginning - — without giving any proof. Thus, one can assume that underlying the charge that [[intactivism]] is inherently [[anti-Semitic]] is the assumption that criticism of something Jews do to children is inherently [[anti-Semitic]] - — which it is not.
The page has a few followers and low traffic. The tone of that page is very arrogant and overbearing. People who, like the late [[Rosemary Romberg]] (wife of a Jew and an [[intactivism]] pioneer), openly approached the site's creators and declared that [[intactivism]] is not rooted in [[anti-Semitism]] but in a desire to protect all children from violence, are ridiculed and lampooned.<ref>{{REFweb

On this basis, such a site can do little to protect children (or even protect Jews from [[anti-Semitism]]), even if the notion of not mixing [[intactivism]] and [[anti-Semitism]] is important, of course. The impression remains that this site just wants to lash out instead of dealing with factual criticism of the bloody ritual of [[circumcision]] of boys. The author of this website seems perfectly willing to expose boys born into Jewish homes to the [[Risks and complications| surgical risks]], [[pain]], [[trauma]], loss of [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions| physiological function]], and violation of [[human rights]] inherent in [[Brit Milah]]. Who is the true anti-semite?
