Changes

=== [[Denmark ]] ===# Rabbi '''Lexner''' told Kristeligt Dagblad, “A ban on circumcision is equivalent to saying to those that have practiced [[Judaism ]] in [[Denmark ]] for 400 years that they may as well leave.”<ref name=Hoare2013">{{REFjournal

# In a longer article titled "The Scandal of Scandinavia", Jewish author '''Liam Hoare''' from the [[United Kingdom| UK ]] pulled out all the stops to lump all alleged or actual cases of anti-Semitism again and again with the circumcision of boys.<ref name=Hoare2013"/> <br>''(IntactiWiki comment: The rhetorical means of throwing as much dirt as possible hoping that something sticks, should not have failed for many readers. Repeatedly talking about circumcision and anti-Semitism in the same context can be seen as [[framing]].)''# '''Fin Rudaizky''', a former leader of the Jewish community in [[Denmark]], claimed that in addition to [[intactivist|children’s welfare activists]], “many others use the situation to show that they are against Jews, Muslims, and they can express anti-Semitism and xenophobia without admitting to it.”<ref>{{REFnews

# '''Henri Goldstein''', the president of the Jewish Community in [[Denmark]], has said the potential ban represents “the worst threat since World War II” to the country’s Jews.<ref>{{REFnews

# '''Charlotte KnoblauchKnobloch''', former President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, asked very provocative: "Do you want us Jews yet?" and therefore insinuates that all [[circumcision]] critics want Jews to leave Germany. This way she set politicians massively under pressure.<ref>{{REFnews

# The Berlin rabbi '''Yitzhak Ehrenberg''' mentioned in September 2012 at a rally in Berlin, referring to his recent visit to the Auschwitz concentration camp, the sufferine suffering of one and a half million babies and children torn from their mothers in the murder factories of the Nazis, tortured and murdered - this is the physical destruction, so Ehrenberg. What however now is demanded in Germany that boys should decided at the age of 18 whether they be circumcised or not - Ehrenberg continued - is from a religious perspective even worse than the physical destruction.<ref>{{REFnews

# To foil the Iclandic Icelandic circumcision ban initiative, Jewish leaders developed a new three pronged approach: In addition to pressure from Jewish communities, other religious minorities were asked to join the fight. Also international economic interests were brought into the mix, by reaching out to US politicians -- one of Iceland’s top five export destinations. “We employed economic interests, letting Iceland know that passing this law will have political and maybe also economic implications,” noted Rabbi '''Pinchas Goldschmidt''', President of the Conference of European Rabbis, who also promoted the campaign.<ref>{{REFnews
