In America, circumcision is common whether you’re Jewish or not. This isn’t necessarily a religious question. Avoid jumping to conclusions, especially when it involves implying that someone is a bigot.
Antisemitism is heinous, which means it’s also a very serious charge to make. Throwing the word “antisemitism” around based on such weak evidence only dilutes it.
I see why he thinks of antisemitism, but I was just thinking of the circumcision without any real reasons, other than 'that's just what we do'.
I think for many, ‘that’s just what we do’ is all the thought that goes into it.
Take it easy. I had not made the connection yet, being raised as an atheist European. I knew one guy in high school who was circumcised and he was the weird one in the showers. I was thinking about Americans.
