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 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.
It’s funny how confidently incorrect you are.
