#britmilah — Public Fediverse posts

"For more than a century, #britmilah has been a persistent test of #Europe’s commitment to #religious #liberty. In recent decades, that test has become increasingly severe as, across the continent, lawmakers, activists, and regulators have sought to restrict or criminalize the practice through medical regulations, alleged child-protection frameworks, or prosecutions of religious practitioners. Although no European state has – as of yet – formally outlawed #Jewish #circumcision outright, the trajectory of public policy in several countries suggests a growing willingness to treat one of #Judaism’s most ancient commandments as a suspicious or even illegal act."

Belgique – L'ambassadeur des États-Unis exhorte le ministre de la Santé à abandonner les poursuites contre trois circonciseurs rituels juifs accusés d'avoir pratiqué des circoncisions sans licence médicale, ce qui est illégal selon la loi belge. Il invoque la « liberté religieuse ».
