American Intactivist Urges Denmark to Respect Male Human Rights

All over the world, boys, girls, and intersex children share stories like mine. The context varies, the method of mutilation varies, the language varies, but one thing thing cuts across all of these stories – we resent what was done without our consent. Moral leadership is key to standing strong on the issue.

(COPENHAGEN Copenhagen Post) - The Danish people should know that the world is watching your debate on underage ritual circumcision.

This is deeply personal and important to me, as I am myself a victim of this vile practice – due to my misfortune of being born in the United States. Although my young mother was not keen on the idea, a doctor insisted on doing it, and she relented.

Jewish Intactivist Writes Letter to Rabbi: Can you give me back my foreskin?

Open letter to Bent Lexner, Chief Rabbi of Denmark.

(COPENHAGEN) - March 1980: a man drives into a neighborhood south of Copenhagen. He stops in front of a terraced house, walks up the stairs to the first floor and into the bedroom where he proceeds to greet the people present.

Stupid and Mean and Brutal: Israel`s Settler-Officers in the Glare of Publicity

The more one sees the clip, the more one is shocked. The sheer brutality of this completely unprovoked act makes one flinch.

(TEL AVIV Redress) - “In blood and sweat / A race will arise to us / Proud and generous and brutal…” Thus wrote Vladimir (Ze’ev) Jabotinsky, the founder of extreme right-wing Zionism, who was also a writer and a poet.

Present-day Likud leaders see him as their forefather, much as Stalin saw Karl Marx.

Rabbis For Violence, Brutality and Abuse

Sooner or later, Israel and its Rabbis will have to face the horrific moral and ethical consequences of maintaining a racist, nationalist and expansionist Jewish State.

(LONDON) - In recent years we have learned about a few sporadic Rabbis who promote peace, justice and humanism.

But more often it seems, Israel’s prominent Rabbis are more openly enthusiastic about violence, brutality and abuse.
