Circumcision on minors should be prohibited unless medically necessary.
It’s arrogance, not diplomacy.
it’s not even about circumcision, it’s about illegal circumcision (absent trained medical)
Kick them out. Make them persona non grata.
They can’t behave, they can fuck off
No diplomacy here, just American arrogance at its worst.
Why are we Europeans even entertaining the idea of allowing genital mutilation to be performed on children? Regardless if there is a doctor present for this religious bullshit or not.
More evidence of what ignorant morons these Americans in Trumps administration are.
Since nobody’s TL;DR the problem, here it is :
>- Rabbi submits an official complaint about three mohels that are circumcising without having the medical credentials to do so, and are not using safe medical methods ;
>- An investigation is launched following the complaint ;
>- An orthodox jew elected to the federal parliament contacts the U.S., and the U.S. ambassador to Belgium says that the federal Minister of Health (Frank Vandenbroucke) should personally intervene to have the lawsuit dropped ;
>- Several belgian politicians tell him to back off (Conner Rousseau, center-left, being the most irritant to White) and the federal minister of Foreign Policy summons him to tell him to sit the fuck down ;
>- The Ambassador doesn’t give a fuck, and says Conner Rousseau should apologise for his video on ICE, or he will be banned from the U.S.
>- Rousseau says he won’t.

The USA is by far the biggest threat to civilized countries. Their immense economic and military power combined with the psychopathic selfishness and religious extremism is an existential threat to us all.
They can, will and already do use their power to spread their religious crazy ideologies and force smaller countries to do as they please.
Ban abortion or Sweden gets sanctions. Import American beef or we disable the cloud services for the city of Copenhagen. Give me the Nobel peace price or we annex Greenland. Remove ICC arrest warrants or we sanction your judges.
The USA is extremely dangerous, much much more than China, Russia and climate change combined.
That oaf of an ambassador just put a travel restriction to the US on the president of the socialist party because he posted a tiktok he didn’t like. Yes, he banned him from the US.
The ambassador (who used to support the Democrats until the very evening Trump won his first presidency, he left the Clinton election watch party to go kiss Trump’s diaper) has been interfering in Belgian politics since his first week in country. He must be, as with most Americans nowadays, the most ridiculed and despised person in the country while still thinking he’s the tough guy. What a joke of a man.
Ritual pediatric circumcision (to be clear: ritual, not medical) is a barbaric practice that should be abolished.
If you wish to offer your foreskin to some god, you have every right to do so once you reach adulthood.

Uncircumcised penises are statistically bigger by at least 10%. This is why Americans are so angry.
the party of no ‘mutilations on children’ everyone😅😅
There I nothing new about this kind of US diplomacy, they just tweet about it now.
Perverse barbarism
Edit:
Circumcising was invented because of the lack of water in arid regions, unable to wash or be educated about infection, also its sinful to exercise the foreskin.
Fuck the US.
Let’s buy some more F-35 now!
“Hey! We got involved in two fights at the last minute purely out of self-interest! Let those men cut some baby penises!!!”
If you do such a thing you belong in jail.
We truly need to rid ourselves of religion. All of them.
Circumcision was not the problem …
The ritual in which the rabbi was using his mouth to clean the bloody, freshly-cut baby penis on the other hand …
Disgusting
Such shitty behaviour from everyone barring the Belgian legislators.
You want to circumcise, get a licence and stop whinging.
No surprise the noncervatives are at it again here.
Disgusting practice. Should be banned
Missed opportunity to say “this is just the tip of new US diplomacy”
Israel and USA are Europe’s enemies. The sooner the EU realizes that, the better.
