      Of all the random things to protest on a street corner in Manchester #NHpolitics . Male circumcision? Feels antisemitic to me. Who are these people?pic.twitter.com/GuNlPgIjD0

      @BloodstainedMen Circumcision is not required for Jewish males, and it's certainly not necessary to force it on an infant. Many circumcised Jewish males, like many males generally, resent that it was forced on them. Consider this example: http://www.beyondthebris.com/2011/06/to-mohel-who-cut-me.html …

      I just think it is antisemitic (and anti-Islamic) because they seek to outlaw the procedure altogether. Parents should be able to decide. If they are Jewish and do not want to circumcise, fine. But to outlaw via a Federal or state ban is state interference

      We don't want it banned to harm Juadaism, we want it banned because it violates the rights of the child. An Islamic sect considers FGM a religious requirement, but that's been federally banned since 1994. Would you want FGM re-legalized because religion entails it?

      The 'Dawoodi Borah' sect of Islam views FGM as an essential part of their religion. They argue that banning it violates their right to religious freedom. Here's a good link on them: https://www.hindustantimes.com/mumbai-news/mumbai-s-dawoodi-bohra-women-to-sc-khatna-is-essential-to-our-faith/story-0GuHQMSLbFvoEw6TJm1SPM.html …

      This comparative analysis by a Yale bioethicist is very readable and frames the issues well. Everyone on this thread seems to be missing an essential point of @BloodstainedMen & Mr. Levy, which is that many circumcised men resent being cut.

      ...that resentment finds a basis in valid, objectively meritorious reasons. If an adult male was angry about being forcibly circumcised, you'd recognize his right to be angry about it. Why does a man circumcised as a child have less right to be angry about it?

      I agree that parents need to be persuaded in order for progress on this issue to be made, but there will always be some parents who can't be persuaded & ultimately it is not up to them. Every child, regardless of gender, has a fundamental right to keep the body they're born with.
