According to a White Paper published by The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Plenum suggested the Danish Mosaic Religious Society, no Jew will deny an intact boy the right to his membership following working definition of the Jewish societyantisemitism:

|Title=IHRA working definition of anti-Semitism |Text=Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities. |Author=International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Plenum |ref=<ref>{{REFweb |url=https://www.holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definitions-charters/working-definition-antisemitism?focus=antisemitismandholocaustdenial |title=What is antisemitism? - Non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism |website=IHRA |date=2016-05-26 |accessdate=2022-02-15}}</ref>}} == History ==Antisemitism has existed for at least 2,500 years.  Notably, the Book of Esther reports the case of Haman the Agagite who wanted to slay all Jews.<ref>{{REFweb |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Esther+3&version=AKJV |title=Esther Chapter 3 |last= |first= |init= |publisher=Bible Gateway |date= |accessdate=2024-02-15}}</ref> This occurred in the years 483-473 BCE.  The Spanish Inquisition (1478-1834) required Jews to either convert to Roman Catholicism or leave Spain.<ref>{{URLwikipedia|Spanish_Inquisition|Spanish Inquisition|2024-02-16}}</ref> Germany, under the Nazi regime (1933-1945), instituted the greatest pogrom of all time against its Jewish citizens, resulting in the death of 6,000,000 Jews.<ref>{{URLwikipedia|The_Holocaust|The Holocaust|2024-02-16}}</ref>  These acts of antisemitism were not caused by the [[intactivist]] movement. It is a fallacy to associate antisemitism with [[intactivism]]. == Opposing circumcision on minors isn't antisemitic ==The United Nations was charged with the development of international human rights law at its conception in 1945. A fundamental, important principal of human rights law is the universality of human rights. That means that everyone without exception, including male and female, young and old, Jew and gentile, enjoy the same [[human rights]]. ''Security of the person'' is one of the most fundamental of human rights.<ref>{{REFdocument |url=https://treaties.un.org/doc/Treaties/1976/03/19760323%2006-17%20AM/Ch_IV_04.pdf |title=International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (official document) |publisher=United Nations |date=1967 |format=PDF |accessdate=2024-02-06}}</ref> It is universal and applies to everyone without exception. The [[Abrahamic covenant]] requires that the human right of boys born into Jewish homes to ''security of the person'' be violated. [[Brit Milah| Circumcision]] of a boy born into a Jewish home, therefore, is an antisemitic act.<ref>Circumcision actually is an amputation of substantial amounts of functional, erogenous, protective [[foreskin]] tissue from the [[penis]], so it is a major violation of the security of the person.</ref> Opposing [[circumcision]] has nothing to do with antisemitism which is defined as being or acting against Jews because they are Jews, not because they do this or that. Opposition to [[circumcision]] is opposing a harmful action: medically unnecessary [[amputation]] of healthy, functional tissue from the genitals of non consenting minors, completely independent of parental beliefs. According to a White Paper published by the Danish Mosaic Religious Society, no Jew will deny an [[intact]] boy the right to his membership of the Jewish society:{{Citation |Text=You are born a Jew if you are born to a Jewish mother. In principle, there are no Jewish dogma, which means, among other things, that one cannot "deprive" a Jew of his identity as a Jew. There are Jews who do not abide by Jewish rules in any form whatsoever, and others who have cherrypicked cherry-picked among those rules and only adhere to the rules they want. This also applies to circumcision. It might be said this way: <q>For most Jews it is crucial to be circumcised, but it is not essential to be circumcised to be a Jew.</q>

If this statement is true, and there are no reasons to doubt it, Jewish males , for whom it is vital to be [[circumcised ]], can be circumcised as they turn of age, and they will still be valid members of the Jewish community.

In 2007, the [[WHO]] found that 30% of the world’s male population were [[circumcised]]. Those 30% were distributed like this

Following these numbers, male Jews who are [[circumcised ]] make up at most 0.8 % of the world's [[circumcised ]] men (i.e. eight per thousand).<ref>{{REFweb

}}</ref> Therefore, it is totally flawed improper to claim that opposing [[circumcision ]] is an expression of anti-Semitism antisemitism or neo-Nazism.

Opposition to non-medical [[circumcision ]] of minors as a parental right is directed against the act regardless of the parents' religious affiliation, and not just against the at most 0.8% Jewish [[Brit Milah| circumcisions]].

== Anti-Semitism Antisemitism contradiction ===== Conceptual antisemitism in Judaism ===The German website ''zwangsbeschneidung.de'' sees an "anti-Semitism antisemitism contradiction in the Jewish religion created by [[Circumcision]]":

|Text=Anti-Semitism Antisemitism is definitely the violation of the [[human rights ]] of a Jew because he is a Jew, circumcision of the male child is a violation of [[human rights]], Jewish circumcision is done because the child is a Jew, so Jewish circumcision is an anti-Semitic antisemitic act.<br>The conclusion is that if circumcision is the foundation of the Jewish religion, the foundation of the Jewish religion is an anti-Semitic antisemitic act.<br>[[German Circumcision Act|§ 1631d BGB]] was created to enable Jewish circumcision. § 1631d BGB is therefore anti-Semitism antisemitism by law. Anti-Semitism Antisemitism by law is fascist legislation.
