Is this antisemitism or are we foreskinphobes?

[Mik]

On the way back from the gym this afternoon I saw something new - new to me, anyway. On all four corners of a very busy intersection there were protestors, all dressed in white with hats and red handprints on their crotches. They oppose circumcision. Some of the signs were kind of funny. The first one I noticed said 'stop cutting baby penis'. Not what you expect to see out here in the burbs. No rainbow or Palestinian flags were present.

They looked a lot like this.

You know we haven’t had a discussion about male genital mutilation in a while.

I thought the hats were a nice symbolic touch.

So.. are you a helmet or an anteater? (That's from Joseph Wambaugh's The Choirboys.)

If it's anti-semitism, they probably need to look up which the is the largest religious group to carry out circumcision

I don’t think we had multiple discussions, just one mega one.

Maybe it’s time for another - the last one was… cut short.

Nope. We’re going to snip this off right now.

I doubt very much if it is anything close to antisemitism. I am not aware of any instances during the past 2000 plus years where Jews forced male Gentiles of any description to convert and submit to the blood covenant of circumcision. It is my understanding such is abhorrent to Judaism.

Unfortunately the same cannot be said of the Semitic and non Semitic followers of the Islamic creed.
