Banning Circumcision,Foreskin Man and the Rise of Left Wing Anti Semitism

Recently, enough signatures were gathered in San Francisco to place a ban on circumcision on this November's ballot. Today, the blogosphere is buzzing with an online comic book by one of the initiatives most prominent supporters called "Foreskin Man". The titled super hero is tasked with saving infant boys from the barbarism of circumcision. J.E. Dyer of HOT AIR has it correct:
"It’s crystal clear from the dialogue that the perpetrator of this literary opus intends to depict the Judaic religious view of circumcision as evil and repulsive.  The “comic” hauls out every theme of Jew hatred in the arsenal.
Note that these circumcision-haters could have addressed the issue as one of science, medicine, personal autonomy, or even just a social issue on which reasonable people can disagree.
But they didn’t.  The case they’re making is that circumcision is evil because Jews do it as a religious observance."
The Anti Defamation League released a condemnation of their own:

Nancy J. Appel, ADL Associate Regional Director, issued the following statement:
This is an advocacy campaign taken to a new low.  This is a sensitive, serious issue where good people can disagree and which the Jewish community feels is an assault on its values and traditions going back thousands of years and centered in the Hebrew Bible.  It is one thing to debate it, is another thing to degrade it.  ’Foreskin Man,’ with its grotesque anti-Semitic imagery and themes, reaches a new low and is disrespectful and deeply offensive.
“The comic book portrays mohels — those specially trained to perform the traditional Jewish circumcision ceremony — as rapacious, bloodthirsty and bent on harming children. Some of the imagery calls to mind age-old anti-Semitic canards such as the blood libel, the accusation that Jews ritually murder Christian children. Another comic in the series also calls up more subtle anti-Jewish themes, such as when a character complains that the ‘pro-circumcision lobby’ has ‘all of the well-connected doctors and lawyers.’
“We would have hoped those backing the anti-circumcision effort in San Francisco would know better than to use this type anti-Semitic imagery to advance their cause. No matter what one’s personal opinions of male circumcision, it is irresponsible to use stereotypical caricatures of religious Jews to promote the anti-circumcision agenda.”
I succeeded in getting to the official website and get additional images Here, but they must be inundated with all the attention, so I've had to settle for what I've found on other sites. Below is the cover:

Notice, the decidedly Aryan features, almost the spitting image of the Nazi Superman. Of course you see that evil rabbi towering over a helpless infant and a woman,presumably the baby's mother being restrained. Then there's a closeup of the evil rabbi.
Wow, that's one evil dude. Sadistic looking. I guess all that blather about circumcision being a spiritual ritual was just a pose to inflict pain and suffering on an innocent baby. Who knew? Could this be anymore brazenly anti semitic? Then there's the act itself:
Don't you just love the way he bursts into the room with armed bodyguards beside him? Was the door locked? I never knew that breaking in doors was a prerequisite at a briss.
Here you have a gross distortion. The evil rabbi invoking God to justify his dastardly deeds. Thank goodness our Aryan hero is nearby to save the day and the child.


Da Da Da!!!!!!!!!!!Never fear Lois, I'll save that baby boy's foreskin. Bap! Wham! Boffo! Take that evil foreskin hating monster rabbi!Your days of knavery are at an end! But what's this? He'll come back for it? When you're not around? Well there's only one way to stop you then. I'll take the baby to a secret commune of foreskin loving patriots to deny this sacred child the evils of a Jewish upbringing.
Yes, he'll be safe with them,Foreskin Man. You took him from his parents and handed him over to some strange hippies who will make sure that boy learns to hate Jews as much as you. And if you listen carefully you can hear Wagner at a distance. Fly, Valkyries fly!
I hope you don't mind my poking some fun on this. The truth is we are seeing a rapid segment of liberals expressing anti semitic and anti Israeli views. The support for Hamas,which seeks the destruction of every Jew on the planet.The endorsement of a flotilla to break the Gaza blockade to supply genocidal Hamas. This comic can be easily made fun of and easily discredited, but it is evidence of the growth industry that is modern anti semitism. It's becoming more public and disguised as an effort for human rights. The idea that circumcision violates a child basic human rights is now exposed for the fraud that it is. Something as silly as this is just the beginning. An effort to define a ritual in place for millennia as inhumane is in fact an effort to redefine an entire people as barbaric. It isn't just about circumcision, it is about the right of all people to define themselves as individuals,as a community and a people. We can see this for what it is:A hatred of Jews plain and simple
