San Francisco’s anti-circumcision measure will be decided by voters in November, but the literature for the movement aims to sway them with some disturbing images — including dark, evil-looking rabbis and a blonde superhero saving babies from their clutches.

The measure, supported by self-described “intactivists,” would make circumcision performed on anyone under 18 a misdemeanor, even if it is done for religious purposes.

It would be punishable by a $1000 fine, or up to a year in jail.

But that’s not the half of it: check out the eye-opening “Foreskin Man,” the comic book for this anti-circumcision movement that uses images critics are calling blatantly anti-Semitic.

It was reported this week by Chronicle comrade and op-ed columnist Debra J. Saunders.

Saunders interviewed Matthew Hess, author of the upcoming anti-circumcision referendum this week.

His website, mgmbill.org — which pushes “a bill to end male genital mutilation in the United States” –also pushes his literature and merchandise starring “Foreskin Man,” shown here at right.

The star cover image of his comic book shows a dark, bearded rabbi looming over a naked baby laying on a pool table, as a superheo appears ready to save the child.

Saunders asked Hess if his comic is anti-Semitic. His answer: “A lot of people have said that, but we’re not trying to be anti-Semitic. We’re trying to be pro-human rights.”

He told her the “next issue will deal with a different kind of circumcision.”

Meantime, Hess is pushing his political effort with other dark, threatening images of Jewish characters.

His “Foreskin Man” card set being sold through Cafe Press feautures the terrifying-looking “Monster Mohel.”

The astounding description of a person qualified to perform the Jewish rite of circumcision:

“Nothing excites Monster Mohel more than cutting into the infantile penile flesh of an eight day old boy.”

Of course, there is a real political debate going on here: supporters of a ban on circumcision say that it’s an unnecessary and outdated practice. Opponents of a ban note that centuries of religious practice support it, and vow to mount legal challenges.

However the voters of San Francisco decide, the incendiary literature at use to support this measure is sure to add fuel to the fire.
