In wake of anti-Semitic comic book, Santa Monica anti-circumcision
measure reportedly will be withdrawn
http://j.mp/mFyc2Y (L.A. Times)
A similar initiative from the anti-circumcision group known as
MGM Bill has garnered enough signatures in San Francisco to
place it on the November ballot. The leader of MGM (which
stands for Male Genital Mutilation), Matthew Hess, recently drew
fire with a comic book called "Foreskin Man" that featured
dark-evil Jewish characters battling a blond hero. Troutman
[the woman behind the Santa Monica measure] told the Jewish
Journal she wanted to distance herself from MGM and that the
debate "shouldn't have been about religion in the first place."
