# The President of the federation of European rabbis, rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt from Moscow, put the Cologne judgment in connection with the Nazi ban of the ''Shechita'' and calls it "the heaviest attack on Jewish life since the Holocaust". Thus he assumed sweeping all the people who keep the Cologne decision right, Nazis, and thus set politians massively under pressure.<ref>http://www.focus.de/politik/deutschland/tid-26512/beschneidungs-urteil-empoert-rabbiner-schwerster-angriff-auf-das-juedische-leben-seit-dem-holocaust_aid_781078.html</ref>
# Israel's Vice Prime Minister Silvan Schalom said the banning of religious [[circumcision]] would mean "Jews out!". He also equates all critics of [[circumcision]] with Nazis, thereby pressuring policymakers massively.<ref>http://www.focus.de/politik/deutschland/israels-vize-premier-silvan-schalom-beschneidungsverbot-heisst-juden-raus_aid_811026.html</ref>
# Israel's Interior Minister Eli Jishai, head of the strictly religious Shas party, called on Chancellor Merkel to immediately end the criminalisation of [[circumcision]]. "Jews in Germany should not be forced to have to choose between compliance with national or divine laws."

# Israel's President Schimon Peres called Federal President Gauck to promote [[circumcision]] for religious reasons.<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>
