== Wiesenthal Center slams ARC ==
In 2020 the [http://www.wiesenthal.com Simon Wiesenthal Center] questioned the ARC's efforts from 2019, when the ARC convened the “Brussels Collaboration on Body Integrity," where Female Genital Mutation ([[FGM]]) was equated with Jewish "[[Brit Milah|Brit Mila]]". The ARC had alleged that "cutting any person’s genitals without their informed consent is a serious violation of their right to bodily integrity. As such, it is morally impermissible…" Wiesenthal Center Director for International Relations, Dr. Shimon Samuels, construed that speaking for children's rights could be seen "construed as an assault on the Jewish people".<ref>{{REFweb
