Is this anti-semitism?

The Eye's editor, Ian Hislop, says Assange told him that central to the plot was "the Guardian, which included journalist David Leigh, editor Alan Rusbridger and John Kampfner from Index on Censorship – all of whom 'are Jewish'". That certainly came as news to Rusbridger.

Uh, but the Guardian is forever getting stick for being anti-Israel etc

Funereal ambiance at Dior show

Faustine François (au Musée Rodin)
04/03/2011 | Mise à jour : 17:46 Réactions (2)

The Dior show took place this afternoon iat the Rodin Museum in Paris. The décor is sober, only the Dior logo is visible amidst the crystal chendeliers and the plexiglass marquetry. A rare event, the show starts with a speech by the brand's COO, Sidney Toledano. "What has happened is a test… such comments are inacceptable. The fact that the the name of Dior was mixed up with such intolerable comments through its designer, however brilliant he may be, is very painful. The workers are sick at heart. What you're about to see is the fruit of their immense work."

In the front row, very few celebrities.

John Galliano's name is never uttered. In the front row, very few celebrities unlike other seasons. Tormented violins set the pace for the balmk faced models. The ambiance is heavy and emotions run high when the dressmakers come out to salute the public in the place of the ex-artistic director. Afterwards at the exits the sun shines but, hidden behind their sunglasses, no-one smiles. Heard in the crowd, "Fashion has lost another genius."

(my quick translation)

Also maybe this deserves its own thread but anti-(male)circumsition activists are fucking lunatics each and every one. What a weird bullshit thing to get yourself worked up about.

"intactivists"

Sullivan has been flirting with "intactivism" himself. He's never met a crazy tunnel he didn't want to go down.

Wait, that comic isn't a joke?

If so, then ????????

eh, anything taken to extremes = lunacy & will attract lunatics, but considering male circumcision grotesque & harmful doesn't seem insane on the face of it.

could be a british thing. gentile brits go unsnipped.

that baby's chiseled, beefy jaw.

on the face of it -- non-harmful procedure that predates all western society + culture and is intricately linked to at least two of the most influential and important faiths on the planet.

um -- sounds pretty insane to me.

oh great where do i get one?

i love things that predate western society and are also religious rituals!

like considering it grotesque and not doing it to your own children is cool and all but trying to ban it is really nutcase territory esp since not only is it not harmful and has no deleterious affects but actually has some positive correlations to things like HIV rate

wtf is that tinsel symbol they have hoisted onto an oil derrick? Is it a bad drawing of fetal genitals before external differentiation?

My USA experience: Weird (not weird) that all the anti-male-circumcision zealots I've met seem to be female. Awesome how they never notice the men around them not participating in their mission. Guess why!

http://www.who.int/hiv/topics/malecircumcision/en/index.html -- worth checking out. I wouldn't encourage it but WHO does.

comic is one of the most ridiculous things i've ever seen:

anti-circumcision zealots are my favorite -- "how dare you make a decision for a baby!!" always makes me picture a baby sitting in a chair just shitting itself silly and the parents being all "well hey it's not our decision to wipe your ass. that's something you're going to have to decide on your own."

WHO/UNAIDS recommendations emphasize that male circumcision should be considered an efficacious intervention for HIV prevention in countries and regions with heterosexual epidemics, high HIV and low male circumcision prevalence.

Male circumcision provides only partial protection, and therefore should be only one element of a comprehensive HIV prevention package...

right, but that's hardly the same as getting involved in the crazy debate in the U.S., which is why i would leave it out.

aids prevention benefits shouldn't be discounted (seem legit), but "harm" gets subjective fast. some would say that to cut is to harm, but that's probably a topic for another thread.

Quote from an intactivist mother in the United States:

To do a surgery on the sex organs of a baby for cosmetic and future sex-related reasons is a bunch of pedophilia. LADIES, I AM SAYING IT! I am tired of beating around the bush. Cutting and handling of baby genitals is medicalized pedopilia. I am telling you, I am straight up telling this to people now. Spread the word that circ is sick. It is no longer an argument of is it cleaner, better looking, the parents choice, etc. We've moved beyond that. Circumcision is here because the biggest pedophiles: Mr. Kellogg and Mr. Graham. They were such sickos that they created hospitals to torture, mutilate, and purposely traumatize children with genital torture and cutting... PEDOPHILES. And I am losing it, I can't take this country much longer. If a bill doesn't pass I'm moving to Denmark or any other place that has zero culture of mutilation. AND, for the record, I am tired of talking about it and having to educate and convince people not to f-ing cut up their own babies genitals. I am tired of talking about other peoples babies genitals. They should care more about protecting their baby from profiteering knife-wielding doctors.

Note from Intactivist.net: This frustration is all too common. People who are involved in this movement really, truly care about the children they are desperately trying to protect. Sometimes it gets to the point where we explode because it seems no one is hearing us. I heard another conversation where someone asked why does it seem like "intactivists" are crazy or sometimes even rude... that is not the intent at all. The answer given to this person was that it's just that we know too much, we know and we're trying to tell you, and we can see it so clearly for what it is, and we just want to protect children.

Strapping a baby down, or holding it down as is the case in many a bris, and then ripping apart that child's genitals and slicing parts off... does this really seem like a *sane* thing to do? Think on this for a moment, really meditate on it. Don't you agree that this should not even happen?

"ugh, my parents are so lame. not only is my curfew 11 pm on weekends, but they also circumcised me."
