In case you did not click on the letter from ADL, now you can read it here.

They are basically saying...

Unless you fold to our demands we will mobilize the entirety of American media to bring you down.

Not liking the ADL equal to anti-semitism...

That is like being a racist for not liking OJ

You would think, in Iceland, there would be a lot of shrinkage.

You want a steady hand. Not Shakey the Mohel.

The headline is quite accurate...assuming you mean the added things in the comma which is a loved/hated FReeper thing.

I mean it is advocacy... Which sort of amounts to. Nice country there. We can send all American media after you..

https://www.althingi.is/altext/erindi/148/148-787.pdf

And text as above, but better formatted:

ADL has studied the pervasiveness of anti-Semitic content on social media, and we know that a relatively small number of extremists are able to amplify their message quickly and broadly through social media. ADL regularly reports on such phenomena, and we wíll report on extremist praise for Iceland. We urge you to consider the significant media attention, in the U.S, and internationally, paid to ADL reports on extremism.

In the past six months alone, our research and experts have been featured on CNN and other cable TV channels, NBC and other broadcast TV, on 60 Minuíes, the most watched TV news magazine in America, and in leading newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post. Given that 28% of Iceland’s tourists came from North America in 2016,
Iceland’s standing in the U.S. should be of great concern from an economic perspective, We are confident that the vast majority of American tourists will avoid a country whose reputation is associated with Nazism, even if that
association is not justified.

Individually, any of these three arguments should convince you to oppose a ban on male circumcision, Collectively, they should compel you to make the right decision and oppose the proposed ban.

...........

I found it quite accurate...

It never states that at all. It states that making it a country where Jews can not possibly reside in due to a ban that prohibits a Jewish commandment means that neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other extremists will celebrate their actions eliminate Jewish citizens. I personally disagree with the ADL on a host of issues, but this one is not one of them. Why is Iceland banning circumcision in the first place? Is it to free the country of Jewish citizens or some other reason? If it is another reason tells us what that reason is. As far as I can tell it is to make Iceland uninhabitable for Jewish people, because I certainly cannot see a reason for banning circumcision.

The ADL did nothing to PewDiePie or whatever his name is, is withdrawing a 50,000 donation to ADL because of fan backlash.

PewDiePie pulls $50,000 pledge to Jewish anti-hate group after fan backlash

That is his choice, but besides that, this issue is over a year old. So what is the discussion you wished to have? Perhaps you should have stated your intentions at the beginning.

Female or male genital mutilation is a crime against a baby.

Iceland will allow a grown up 18 year old to do it, if he then chooses.

But, ADL says.. We will use all of the American media and whip up a frenzy against you, even though even we know it is a lie. That is one of the most horrid thing I have ever read.

I guess we see the world differently... I am used to goodwill, honesty and love.

I mead, do you support female genital mutilation? Or stoning for adultery for that matter?

One thing..

It is one of the reasons he canceled the payment yesterday.

My main point... The ADL is a group that is subversive to American and any other western society. Their main enemies are white people and white men in particular.

And, they are powerful, working with youtube and just got thousands of channels deleted.

And, their power relies solely on the USA.

And, Americans still don’t understand why America is not mentioned in the revelations.

Hint: You are...

Female or male genital mutilation

False equivalence by "male" snowflakes who want to join the victimization party.

Circumcision of the male foreskin is not male mutilation. In fact it is a procedure done for hygienic & health purposes. Female mutilation is listed below. World of difference between the two procedures.

There is some evidence that circumcision has health benefits, including:

A decreased risk of urinary tract infections.
A reduced risk of some sexually transmitted diseases in men.
Protection against penile cancer.

Female Mutilation

You are removing vital parts of the male sexual organ.

What did the Talmud say. I have been studying the Talmud a lot for other reasons... The Noahide laws... But :

This commandment has not been enjoined as a complement to a deficient physical creation, but as a means for perfecting man’s moral shortcomings. The bodily injury caused to that organ is exactly that which is desired; it does not interrupt any vital function, nor does it destroy the power of generation. Circumcision simply counteracts excessive lust; for there is no doubt that circumcision weakens the power of sexual excitement, and sometimes lessens the natural enjoyment

It is hard for a woman, with whom an uncircumcised had sexual intercourse, to separate from him. This is, as I believe, the best reason for the commandment concerning circumcision..


The God I believe in did not make a mistake... Rambam agrees, but explains why due to human reasons...

Rubbish. What "vital" functionality am I lacking because I was cricumcised?

And, I hope you realize most of that “science” is ideologically motivated like climate science...

There might be a 0.02 higher chance for an infection if you are not hygenic, but... cut off your arm, and you remove the chance of getting a tennis elbow?

The ADL has been taken over by the leftists, that is well documented and why I have major issues with them, but male circumcision has nothing to do with child abuse nor male mutilation. It is much safer to do the procedure at a young age, which is why it is done then.

Rambam is perhaps the best and wisest Talmudic scholar.

He explains it to you.

It removes a lot of your own pleasure.

And he also mentions how women will not leave a “healthy” man. Because for women, sex also feels a lot better. There is a reason American women talk about French and Italian lovers...

A cut penis... God. What am I talking about, stop drinking..... Will make a woman very sore quickly if you plan to have sex for more than 5 minutes...

It is also to me the height of arrogance.. Sorry God... Like your job, but you messed up here.

But, anyhow Rambam explains why. It is to curtail the sexual instinct. Exactly the same as for female genital mutilation.

Btw, I feel sorry for you. That it was done to you. It can also be damaging psycologically. To import that trauma to an infant. You don’t start life on the best foot.

It is probably better to do at a young age, but it should not be done at all...

I know that all American males.. Well the majority also got it done for some reason...

That is weird, and for anyone to having children - please look into it first... And let the child decide himself at 18

With all due respect to Rambam, I call BS.

“Will make a woman very sore quickly if you plan to have sex for more than 5 minutes...“

Um, I personally know several women who will argue that point. One of them is laying next to me right now.

5 minutes isn’t even a good warm up.

You know, AOC is soooo mind-boggling in her stupidity, I’m starting to believe the Republicans helped her to show how stupid the Democrats really will vote.

She’s like the complete opposite of every sane person out there.

She coulda worked for Steinbrenner!
