# Israel's President Schimon Peres called Federal President Gauck to promote [[circumcision]] for religious reasons. "The [[Brit Milah]] ([[circumcision]]) is a [[Jewish circumcision|Jewish ritual]]. Since thousands of years, it is central to Jewish identity and makes a Jew." This way he imputed that all critics of [[circumcision]] would not accept to exhibit a Jewish religious tradition over national law, due to their anti-Semitism.<ref>http://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/article108769707/Beschneidungsdebatte-Peres-bittet-Gauck-um-Hilfe.html</ref>
# Charlotte Knoblauch, 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>http://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/beschneidungen-in-deutschland-wollt-ihr-uns-juden-noch-1.1459038</ref>
# The Berlin rabby Yitzhak Ehrenberg mentioned in September 2012 at a rally in Berlin, referring to his recent visit to the Auschwitz concentration camp, the sufferine 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>http://hpd.de/node/14033</ref> Thus he not only relativized the Holocaust, but referred all [[intactivists]] board as worse than the Nazi SS.# The same Yitzhak Ehrenberg said in an N24 interview on October 5, 2012 to Michel Friedman, [[circumcision]] critics were primitive, because they believe that they came from the trees of the jungles (monkeys). And because they were all atheists, they are automatically antireligious for him and therefore anti-Semitic.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RSBYJib90g</ref>
