>Belgium arrests 3 men for metzitzah b'peh, where an infant's freshly mutilated genitalia is placed in an old man's mouth, because it has lead to infants getting STDs and other infections
>Trump administration screams NOT ON OUR WATCH, ANTISEMITE
Belgium's government summoned U.S. Ambassador Bill White for consultations on Tuesday after he accused the country of antisemitism, intervening in a case involving three Jewish religious figures suspected of carrying out traditional circumcisions without the medical training required in the country.
Belgian public broadcaster VRT reported that authorities were investigating three men in the city of Antwerp accused of performing circumcisions without medical training. Local authorities conducted searches of the three men's homes in May, according to a statement from the Antwerp Police.
White, in a social media post on Monday, labelled the investigation antisemitic harassment and called on the country's health minister to immediately "make a legal provision to allow Jewish religious MOHELS to perform their duties here in Belgium."
A mohel is a Jewish religious official who performs traditional circumcisions, often without any formal medical training. The practice is not banned anywhere in the U.S., though some higher-risk aspects of the tradition have caused controversy in areas with large Orthodox Jewish communities.
"It's done in all civilized counties [sic] as legal procedure. BELGIUM is a civilized country. Stop this unacceptable harassment of the Jewish community here in Antwerp and in Belgium," White said in his post on X. "It's 2026, you need to get into the 21st century and allow our brethren Jewish families in Belgium to legally execute their religious freedoms!"
