Nice try, but no sale. Your desperation is showing.

As for NYDN:

Three Rabbis Sue City over Metzitzah B’peh

Published on October 12, 2012

A lawsuit filed Thursday by Jewish organizations and three rabbis argues that a new NY City rule requiring parental consent for metzitzah b’peh, a post-circumcision ritual that involves oral suction in order to stimulate blood flow in the traumatized organ, violates the First Amendment, the NY Daily News reports.

The new rule, which take effect Oct. 21, requires mohels who perform the metzitzah b’peh to provide parents with a document they must sign, containing information about the health risks involved.

City officials say babies may contract herpes from the practice, and they cite 11 cases between 2004 and 2011, including two fatalities.

The lawsuit argues that the new rule violates the constitutional freedom of religion.

“Government cannot compel the transmission of messages that the speaker does not want to express — especially when the speaker is operating in an area of heightened First Amendment protection, such as a religious ritual,” the lawsuit argues.

City officials said they are planning to fight the suit “vigorously.”

“The city’s highest obligation is to protect its children; therefore, it is important that parents know the risks associated with the practice,” Health Commissioner Thomas Farley said.

So... NYDN or not, metzitzah b’peh is not a made-up story, but an actual religious practice. And don’t tell me next that the Jewish Press is anti-Semitic.

If you don’t see me replying to any subsequent comment from you, it’s because you made another idiotic comment that I won’t waste my time to compose a response. It will help in further weakening your case so don’t hold yourself back!

:^)

False conclusion from the words of that Jewish Press article, Adolf (which is only a rewording of the NYDN article). The only thing showing is your antisemitism. Obviously if you don't reply, you've fled in a typical leftist manner. Kindly keep your argumentum ad hominem off here.

Incidentally, this Talmudic thing where the kid died is alleged to have occurred sans proof. And I don’t agree with it either, if true; it certainly isn’t Biblical. It is not a legitimate excuse for your other leftist vitriol.

Sounds pedo-like to me
