There are memes like “when you have to prove that you’re jewish” or crass jokes about people standing out due to their lack of foreskin, but i remember hearing that a huge swathes of American men are circumcised - it’s like 49%. Jesus.

If literally half of every men are circumcised, why is it even a remarkable topic to Americans? How did it become such a meme?

    It’s just another sign that the US is actually owned by the Zionist movement.

    Not only do they get the US into wars and control their policies and politics with “donations” (i.e. bribes), they also get you to mutilate your baby boys.

      It’s odd that you think Israel is responsible for a practice that was common long before Israel existed.

      Puritans are the reason for the practice in the US, not Jewish people.

        The current craze of mutilation has come about from Jewish practices - because many doctors (nearly 15%) are Jewish, compared to about 2% of the overall population. Enough babies are treated in Jewish Hospitals (because they also tend to be nicer hospitals) and few things are more guaranteed than a first-time mother wanting to have their idealised birthing experience - so many would experience these practices, Jewish or not, as they’re following the recommendations of their physician. As archaic and brutal as the process is.

        And Bebe made ONE PHONE CALL and dragged the US into another war that they’ll eventually lose, again. Bush was a much more reliable leader than ol’ Shit Pants and his fascist cronies.

        The US supports Israel in everything it does. The Israel lobby bribes most of the US government. And it circles. I have nothing against Jews or Judaism (at least no less than Muslims and Islam or Christians and Christianity - there are cunts in all faiths; Buddhists, Hindus and all other religions or non-religious too) but there’s a lot wrong with Zionism.

      Circumcision is a Zionist practice? What about celebrating Hanukkah? Is that Zionist?

        lol even Hamas’ Constitutiion clearly states that theyve seperated ‘ziOnIsM’ from Judaism.

        Judaism has nothing to do with zionism cause zionists are not Jews at all. These faux Jews have simply deluded themselves believing that ‘Judaism means sending money, their mercensries, and aid to the state of Isntreal to satiate their genocidal desires’ (desires that would be far better satiated with a psychiatrist)

        Normal Finklestein is a Jew. Those people who rose up during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising are Jews.

        An idf soldier can never be a Jew

        Heck , even the nazis’ name came from misattribution of some thing that they were not and will never be. Their name came from the germsn words for ‘Nationalistic’ and ‘Socialists’ … but they aremt socialists at all seeing as how the nazis killed ALL their socialiist party members during the Night of Long Knives and killed more socialists than any other group of people during the 30s and 40s.

          Does that mean Zionists don’t circumcise their kids?

          My comment ended up being in a nut sandwich.

            they do. Its just that zionazis arent Jews anyways. There is an intactivist Jew who was mutilated and lives in israel and he protests againsts his mutilation often

            I would actually go as far as to say that all people who circumcise their babies are not adherents of their religion. Why would the loving gods or God create a part of the human body that alnost all males are born with and tell the oarents of these vulnerable male babies to painfully slice off that part? … Doesnt seem like something a loving god or God would assent to.
