Yes, they tried to pass a law that didn't suit 35 Jewish people, and the ADL came down on them. I'm against circumcision, to be honest, it's brutal in my mind. I'd never let someone do that to my son, they'd have to kill me. So, for a non Jewish country, to take that decision is fine with me in every way. That said, if you support it in a country that accepts it, then so be it. We're not all the same and the ADL should stay out of a sovereign country's business, or they should expect the worldwide criticism they get, which is precisely what they deserve.

Re "You continually express and present opinion as fact - I believe this to be highly disingenuous and dishonest - especially when you revert to the same and repeat it over and over across multiple threads and topics."

Well stop thinking about what I am, and make a counter argument. The insults have worn thin.

Re "When you have run out of valid points and credible argument or are being shown to be wrong or doubted your default is to cry victim of personal insult"

How is accusing me of not liking Jews and accusing me of being dishonest ever going to show me I'm wrong. Apart from telling me about bad things that happened in your childhood, I've not seen you provide a credible argument.

As for being paranoid? No I'm not, it just seemed like an odd comment to make. I think the paranoia belongs to those that think everyone that doesn't love what Israel does on the world stage, must automatically hate all Jews.

Oh, please, give it a rest.
One the ADL's raisons d'etre is protection of the Jewish people...their welfare and their religious practices, which gave them every right to speak up in the case of Iceland's intent to ban circumcision, one of the essential aspects of Jewish religious practice.

Your opinion of circumcision is completely irrelevant to this discussion; neither the Icelanders nor the ADL would be interested in your opinion.
