I sent that lady an email. I had to. You know, the one who sent me into non caring land?
Well he has already been done. He's... 4 or 5 days old now I think. Anyway, she told me...
That she studied NOHARMM and Jews Against Circumcision and the AAP before doing it. She knows there are no medical benefits.
She did it because she's not 'really' Jewish and wants to give him entrance to 'the tribe' (her quotes). She did it because millions of jews were gassed in the holocaust and making him sacrifice part of his body is the right thing to do, to honor their deaths.
She always planned on doing it (even though she admits that it's not a good thing to do to a child), she just didn't know how they wanted to. They decided to do it in the hospital by an OB. "He's such a gentle man" she says. Uh huh, sure. Anyway, that whole "religious rite" she was so concerned about was done by an OB to avenge the murder of millions of his ancestors. She said it was the right thing to do because THEY didn't get to have THEIR brit milahs. But he's not having one anyway... just a random old hospital circ. And they do not practive judaism at all but since they might want to practice it one day, they felt the need to do it to him in case they decided it was the right religion for them. She said that she was proud that he was branded as a jew and that he will be proud one day as well. Then she compared circ to slavery.
I know we can't talk religion here but I really don't think that I am. Because there was nothing religious about any of this.
I'm out of non caring world. I'm into going postal on random internet strangers world.
I don't know which is worse.
