I have 4 sons. The baby is now 33 years old. I fought the "system" hard and not one of them was ever mutilated.

I had to fight my doctor, the baby's doctor, the hospital, AND social services.! And was told I was a terrable Mom. I did not care. My son's can have it done if they like. Thus far none of them would even think of it. Nor will they have their sons mutilated. Why don't people ever just stop and ask "WHY are we doing this" ?

"He desperately needed circumcising!" What a load of garbage! No wonder the mom is crying and the baby is screaming in agony. Totally unnecessary surgery. Interesting how the Israeli couple who don't cut their baby feel very happy with their decision, that's quite a contrast.

Do Jewish guys have to pull down their pants in front of a Rabbi or bouncer in front of the temple in order to attend weekly services?

Foreskin = Sorry, you need to become a Christian or Muslim

No Foreskin = You're allowed inside

the intelligent ones are the ones who cut tradition. Why hurt something you love? It is S&M.

is this lady stupid or just way too self rightous? honestly, they're identity is that they r jewish and that they dont want to cut their foreskin off. it doesnt make them one bit less jewish

Very interesting that people accept torturing their own children, in the name of religion.

Im not sure if they have any empathy at all.

first of all, i cant understand why they dont ATLEAST numb it.. then im wondering, they all believe in their god, dont they think that if god would have wanted boys to be circumsized he would have made them born already circumsized??????
