Judging by the comments here opposing this barbaric act, I'm fairly impressed with how anti-circumcision sentiment is growing globally.

Keep up the good work folks.

@Hesam0000

another retarded motherfucker.

@Hesam0000 It is also a known fact that the Israelites under Moses did not circumcise their sons during the 40 years of wandering in the desert. That's FORTY years of wandering in the DESERT. I think water may have been scarce then, yet for some reason this is one of the only times since Abraham that the Jews did NOT circumcise!

Rabbi Maimonides speculates that circumcision arose not because of physical hygeine but for Moral Hygeine (to dull the penis). This makes much more sense.

[endofscene]

@Hesam0000 (thusly allowing the man to focus more on religion and God), but for parents to prove their allegiance to the tribe by subjecting their most precious possession - their newborn son - to risky and dangerous genital surgery. In fact there is even a law in the Jewish religion which says that if your son DIES because of circumcision then you do not have to circumcise any future sons.

@Hesam0000 Additionally, as you point out, they didn't have access to much water. (which I do not know is true, remember the Tigris and Euphrates? The Dead Sea? The Red Sea? The Nile? Etc.)

There is nothing 'hygenic' about performing risky genital surgery on infants and children in Bronze Age Palestine. (In fact there is nothing 'hygenic' about amputating healthy genital tissue, period) Some people even speculate that THIS is precisely the reason for it - not only to dull the sexual sense...

[endofscene]

@Hesam0000 The truth is that it would have been way more unhygenic for Jews and Arabs to circumcise their children. This is because they were EXPOSING their children to infection by cutting them open and making them bleed and leaving an Exposed Wound on their genitalia, a wound that would take days or weeks to fully heal and which would be in contact with faeces. Don't forget that they did not have modern surgical tools or antiseptics.

@Hesam0000 Some tribal people don't do anything with the penis. Some lift it up by the foreskin and tie the end to a belt but the penis itself remains uncovered.

Arabs and Jews in the Middle-East have never given physical hygeine as a reason for circumcising. And if they circumcise boys for "hygeine" then you would think they would also circumcise girls.

[Hesam0000]

@endofscene I'm done talking about the penis. I rather talk about vagina.

[endofscene]

@Hesam0000 If you were naked for half a day and then felt burning at the tip of your penis I'd suggest that it is because (1) you are very unhealthy, or (2) because you are circumcised and your glans has no protection, or (3) because of something you were doing to your penis. This is a very peculiar story of yours and it says more about you than it does about penises. I have been naked for half a day before and have had no such problems and my penis is intact.
