Heh, the circumcision articles are a bit lame, man. So you have one celebrity who used a bit of skin as a way out of a psychological matter, and a few other tiny groups? I mean, even these articles say that problems with your sex life are actually *likelier* if you haven’t been circumcised.
But to be frank, it only became widespread in the US because it was viewed as the healthiest course a few decades ago. In practice, it changes little.
For religious Jews, though… The implication in the article is kinda laughable, really. Circumcision is viewed as a fairly important matter in Judaism, and to use one couple as a sign of some kind of Great Movement in Judaism is bad journalism (personally I know that it’s more than one couple, but as minority opinions go, this one is quite tiny among Jews).
As for the video, it’s abuse alright. Indoctrination to hatred, though I’ve seen worse.
Kaman.
I posted this video in my site.
Follow the news on the Interpol warrants against six high level iranians for terrorism in Argentina.
Detestable. Just outright detestable. These poor children. And how utterly depraved the adults. It is heartbreaking. Oh, the humanity…

Who was it that first said, “There will never be peace until they learn to love their children more than they hate us.”?
