German judge rules that parents may be prosecuted for circumcising children
A judge in Germany has ruled that parents may be prosecuted for circumcising their children (Hat Tip: Elihu S). Following the judgment by the District Court of Cologne, neither the rights of parents nor the constitutional freedom of religion can justify interventions such as circumcision, according to Financial Times Deutschland, which first reported the story.Watch for them to find a way to ban it only for Jews and not for Muslims. What could go wrong?
“As opposed to many politicians, the court was not deterred by fears of being criticized for anti-Semitism or hostility toward religion,” University of Passau jurist Holm Putzke told the paper. “This decision could not only influence future jurisdiction, it could also lead the relevant religions to change their attitude with respect to the fundamental nature of
children’s rights.”
The case that prompted the ruling took place in Cologne, when a 4-year-old boy, circumcised by a Muslim doctor, began bleeding two days after the surgery and needed to be brought into the emergency room.
The state prosecutor’s office learned of the case and sued, leading the district court to rule that the circumcision was a “severe and irreversible interference into physical integrity.”
Today, there are about 200,000 Jews in Germany, about 5,000 of them in the western city of Cologne.

Should we feel sorry for those who CHOOSE to live not only in the lands of tum'àh, since the Torah gives a statute of cemetery to the lands outside of Erets Israel, but also davka in the land of the nazi 'Amaleq?
They sin of the only unforgiven sin, that is the Sin of the Spies (they despise the desirable land) and run from the ONLY land that enjoys Good's hashgachàh 24h/24h into the hands of people who have been murdering Jews for over 1000 years, and they wonder?
Why would any Jew want to live in Germany? The tribe should have left in 1945 and never returned.

I wouldn't presume to agree or disagree but simply note that voluntarily leaving would give them the satisfaction of the surviving Jews themselves fulfilling the Nazi goal of making Germany Judenrein.

What is wrong with that? Once the Jews are gone, the Muslims will then destroy the Christians.
