→Antisemitism: Add text and citation.
The extraordinary horror of Adolf Hitler's pogrom against the Jews called the Holocaust has given the word ''[[antisemitism]]'' a special power. Even persons who had not even been born at the time of the Holocaust accept guilt for it. When anyone proposes action to protect boys from non-therapeutic [[circumcision]], the Jews cry antisemitism, even though the [[human rights]] and [[physical integrity]] of Jewish boys would be protected. The appellation is so offensive that people and institutions will go to exceptional lengths to avoid being so labeled.
The Catholic Church has practiced been accused of practicing what many regard as anti-semitism for centuries. The Catholic Church is even blamed charged for doing little to oppose the Holocaust, although it is difficult to see how it could have overcome Adolf Hitler's ''Schutzstaffel''.<ref name="allen1998">{{REFweb
