The Forward A coalition of Cleveland Jewish leaders are protesting a graphic mural painted on a gas station wall that depicts a rabbi performing a controversial circumcision ritual. Anti-Defamation League regional director Anita Gray, and Cheryl Davis, chair of the Jewish Federation of Cleveland’s Community Relations Committee, slammed the mural as anti-Semitic. “This outrageous and deeply offensive anti-Semitic mural has no place in our city,” Davis said in a statement. “We need to stand firm against this kind of hatred.” The mural appears on the side wall of Biggie’s Foodmart and gas station in Cleveland. Written above the graphic image of are the words: “Talmudic Priests in Church: Sex With Minors Permited [sic].” It apparently depicts the metzitzah b’peh ritual, the controversial practice in which a mohel sucks the blood from an infant’s penis after circumcision. The gas station owner, Abe Ayad, refused to comment. Local leaders have spoken out against the graphic, noting its potential impact on children. One of the graphics can be seen from the playground of George Washington Carver elementary school Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson denounced the mural in a statement: “There is no place in Cleveland for this inappropriate image and I am urging the owners of this establishment to remove it immediately.” If the owners of Biggie’s do not paint over the mural, the Cleveland government plans to “explore all legal avenues,” news reports said.

LOL They do it. What is it, decent, moral, and hygenic? Seems like a psychotic and Satanic thing to me. If a non-Jew doctor wanted to suck the dick of an infant fresh after a circumcision, gee, I wonder what would happen and what the ADL et al. would report through their controlled Jew news.
Several babies have died from it as well.
My daughter has a Jewish friend [female] who is on a personal crusade against it, God bless her. She [the Jewish friend] tried to talk one of her Jewish girlfriends out of doing it to her newborn son, but failed. The baby died of an infection. How ironic is that.
Yes, all in the name of religion. And you have to wonder how something like that gets started.
It's a form of separation. The whacked ones (as Lod puts it) are chosen by (insert deity) and therefore retain (insert deity's) marks. This is one of my problems with Manifest Destiny and many forms of exceptionalism: pretty soon one actually begins to believe that there is magic afoot and one can do no wrong. Better to nominate oneself for being exceptional on the basis of actual traits that have value, like talents acquired, accomplishments with such talents, and, er, foresight. At the risk of invoking yet another tired dualism, there is no "try" there is only "do." To clarify, Yohoda was wrong. You either are the force, or you are not. Don't try to wield yourself. How the WASP came to believe it was exceptional is a whole 'nother story.

One in charge of defining normal rules might take a dim view of exceptionalism. Truly general principles are few. "What is?" Marx was asked. "Struggle!"
I wasn't talking about the circumcision, I was talking about sucking the blood off.

Replies to Comment # 21. Exceptionalism is the perception that a country, society, institution, movement, or time period is "exceptional" (i.e., unusual or extraordinary) in some way and thus does not need to conform to normal rules or general principles.
