>Yes I do, and it is unfair and unjust to pretend that all Jews practice are circumcised by a sucking rabbi. At the same time, why won't Jews acknowledge that the practice is codified in the Babylonian Talmud and defended by many prominent rabbis even today? No rabbis that mean anything to 90% of American Jews will defend it. And if it's in the Talmud, there are probably six other opinions in the Talmud against the practice. >I also find it just as unfair and peculiar that the majority of Jews (Reformed and conservative) have an irrational impulse to constantly try to justify or apologize for this sick immoral practice. Take Bloomberg in NY as a prime example. Why are moderate Jews obsessed with trying to defend the most insane, extreme and racist fringe elements within their group? Votes? I don't know any Jews personally who'd defend that. I certainly don't. It's a terrible practice. Most Jews I know are completely unaware of it in the first place. Most liberal Jews would identify themselves closer to American left-wing Christians than they would to ultra-Orthodox Jews, especially the small portion of them that practice metzizah beh peh. Understand that I was raised Jewish, and in fact operate a website of Jewish information and education, and I'd never heard of the practice until you told me about it. -Z -Z
