Gregory, I ask sincerely: what is wrong with you? Do you not recognize how disgusting your tweet and most of the responses are? Infant circumcision is indefensible. But no one deserves to be murdered. Anti-Semitism is wrong, period. And it hinders our ability to convince people.

I have NEVER said it was justified. I am LITERALLY just making people aware that these people were in the middle of mutilating two boys' penises when they were rudely interrupted. And the fact that Tree of Life Synagogue COMPLETELY amputated a boy's penis in 2013.

Your reply here is an actual example of “just making people aware that...”. Do you see the difference? (Even though this isn’t the time. It can’t be done with sensitivity in the aftermath of mass murder, as too many are showing. I don’t know when the right time might be.)

Certainly it is an appropriate time to talk about circumcision when the MEDIA brings it up.

If you’re right on that, and I’ll accept that I might not be, how is using the murderer’s words with that picture helpful (and not anti-Semitic)? Effective advocacy requires meeting people you’re trying to convince where they are, not where you are and just know they should be.

Religiously motivated circumcisers are virtually beyond shame, they really were never my target audience to begin with. Young men are my target audience, because I need to bring them into the fold yo use as footsoldiers of intactivsm.

This is an ultra-orthodox practice practiced by some very few in NYC. While I agree this is a public health concern, NYC health department shares this concern, and I agree that circumcision is a brutal and cruel practice that has no place in today's modern society, let's be civil

The Jewish woman who oversaw and permitted the Herpes outbreak to rage out of control and kill kids, Susan Blank, sat on the American Academy of Pediatrics "circumcision task force" trying to peddle circumcision to all of America. She is a secular Jew covering for ultraorthodox.pic.twitter.com/pmbbhneWwt

There is an artful and respectful way to do advocacy and the above is not the way to win friends and influence people. The best way to conquer ignorance is with wisdom. Have some respect but discuss science not people. #Circumcision
