Yes and for good reason. The idea that being anti-circumcision is somehow anti-semetic is absurd. My religion doesn't overrule human decency. I'm in the same basket as the rest of you, I just think that within the next decade this crisis will be resolved.

No one's religion does, and I don't remember anywhere in the actual biblical sources where a deadline, a date was set for circumcision. If adult Jews want to get circumcised let them, but forcing it onto your children is wrong.

I've been observing this topic for a while, probably since 2015. Over the last year alone, the amount of people talking about it and the amount of opposition I see to this practice has skyrocketed. However, no one is bringing this topic to legislators. Blaming docs does nothing.

Unfortunately this is the result when you do something, or try to do something, through the legal system, you do get cries of antisemitism, whether they believe it's an attack on them or not the unfortunate truth is no one is willing to stand up to the Jewish lobby since WWII.

And in this case they are very much in the wrong, it's not antisemitic (a word which is not very accurate anyways, since Judaism is no longer tribal, and the Semites also included the Arabic peoples) to oppose mutilation of those who do not consent to it, their, and your, faith>>

2> @krazychan, no faith gives any person the right to inflict something irreversible on someone who doesn't consent, who can't consent. Male circumcision is the only one we allow.
