It doesn't matter if someone torched me with a flamethrower as a child, a ciggarette lighter will never be a potent anti-infantry weapon.

The circumcision bans are stupid and ignorant and will rightfully fail. No serious national entity supports it. But immediately inappropriately resorting to Nazi imagery is not helpful to the discourse or to policy, regardless of ones personal history.

your not entitled to an opinion on weather this is appropriate or not He is.

Why not? Your story illustrates that the Nazis were cruel and that circumcision is very important to the culture, but it's really inappropriate to just immediately revert to Nazi references instead of discussing, I don't know, the cultural significance of this?
let me put it this way if Germany forbid emigration and also ban circumcision under the penalty of death.  Many Jews will choose the later.

this is NAZI like.

a country that murder over 1,000,000 Jewish children has no business ever telling loving Jewish parents anything except eternal apologies.

1. Find a policy that Germans don't actually support.
2. Then create a completely different policy that is Nazi-like.
3. Calling them Nazis, it's as easy as ABC!

And this is really a twisted view of history. Holocaust reparations are already paid for. In another generation when everyone alive during the Holocaust is dead, the idea of an "eternal apology" to be hoisted onto unconnected descendents will rightfully be deemed asinine.

You'll get what you want the day the right-thinking people ostracize the Jews for not apologizing for the Caananites. (aka never)

Oh well. It was still accepted. And even if you view yourself as part of an eternal ethnic community that can act and err as one, the vast majority of people on Earth do not. Collective guilt is inconceivable in the modern world.
