Eliyahu Ungar-Sargon Director has a staff – and local – look at the controversy involving male infant circumcision in his documentary, cut.

A graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Ungar-Sargon interviews that school teachers and University of Chicago as he examines the pros and cons, ethics and physics, a procedure that, for Jews, has made the pact between God and Abraham for centuries.

Is a newcomer in the United States routinely performed only from the Civil War / Victorian era in the belief that discouraged masturbation and prostitution. In the camera experts debunk most recent health claims benefit.

Ungar-Sargon consultations Orthodox Jewish father and his brother as he struggles with his own feelings about the procedure, which some consider a violation of human rights; also asks mohels and rabbis, parents who follow the tradition and the men who repent of their circumcision (the material of the regenerative device Tugger foreskin alone makes this unsuitable for younger audiences).

Viewers are left with a pretty good idea of ​​what Ungar-Sargon Orthodox will do if and when he has a son, but in this informative and stimulating film, gives his opinion on both sides.

    brit milah “metzitzah” was simply done to prevent infection as there was no better antiseptic back then and this ritual is still held in accordance with scripture don’t try to create something sick wherever you see fit.

  2. neechee5150 says:

    @MrGoySlayer I am just getting started with my questions for you regarding Jewish ordinances and rituals. If you can not/will not honestly and objectively answer my questions, then you established a prima facie case that you are just a racist, hate mongering, hypocrite troll. Your use of such exreme smears and biggoted hyperbole in comparing those who oppose routine infant circumcion to Nazi’s , mass murderers and people who would even consider a second Holocaust, mocks the Holocaust.

  3. neechee5150 says:

    @MrGoySlayer ..”[you]know nothing of our[Jewish] rituals” More baseless unsupported smearing claims. Ok here are a few questions for you as you assume I know nothing. 1. Did God instruct Abraham or Moses to suck the the penises of freshly circumcised infants or “metzitzah b’peh”? 2. If not who authorized the Rabbi’s to change the law and ritual from what Abraham and Moses were instructed? 3. Why and when was brit periah added to milah once again radicaly changing the ordinance?

  4. neechee5150 says:

    Given the literal meaning of your screen name (goy=Non Jew or gentile slayer=to violently kill) you are not going to be taken seriously reading your accusations of hate, bigotry & anti-semitism. Trivialising violently killing non Jews is the epitome of hate mongering & racism. Intstead of making baseless inflamatory accusations, why not offer a cogent argument based upon medical science, points of law, & Old Testament doctrines. No one has even mentioned banning adult circ

    @MrGoySlayer what a stupid thing to say to someone! Someone tells you how unnecessary and barbaric this ridiculous tradition is and you dare to compare him with a Nazi and mention a second holocaust? How pathetic – you should be ashamed of yourself. Clearly you have learnt nothing from whatever you have learnt about the Holocaust.

  6. MrGoySlayer says:

    @neechee5150 Those are selfhating-jews that have sinned against our people. You are an anti-semite and a biggot and know nothing of our rituals so keep that trap shut. I would care more about what you said if you weren’t some know-nothing goy. Listen hater circumcision will never be banned you would have to kill every one of my people and a second Holocaust will NEVER HAPPEN. So go die nazi!

  7. neechee5150 says:

    @MrGoySlayer Furthermore, there are thousands of Jews who themselves have decided that forced infant circumcision is wrong& not necessary & they refuse to practice it for much the same reasons that I oppose routine infant circumcision. Are they also anti-semite? Are the spreading hate? Given your screen name which means one who kills non Jews, you have indicted yourself of hypocrisy in the first degree for spreading hate and racism. Stop the cheap smear tactics, fallacies & obfuscation

  8. neechee5150 says:

    @MrGoySlayer “Anti-Cir is code for “Anti-Cir[c]“. Ahh-you belong to an organization who “combat anti-semitism” on youtube. Your use of ad hominem, labels & smears really does not help your cause. Opposing forced infant circumcision is NOT anti-semitism, & playing the victim card/hate monger card is not warranted & only adds to the abuse of those terms & diminishes the signifncance of legitimate anti-semitism. Making unfounded inflamatory accusations to stir emotions is Propganda 101

  9. JarvisComics says:

    There is a difference between female “circumcision” and Male circumcision. One is snipping off some skin. Personally, I don’t think it’s right to circumcise a child who isn’t old enough to decide for themself if they want the procedure, but the two are not comparable. If you removed the guy’s balls, then it might be comparable. Female “circumcision” or more appropriately, female genital mutilation is cutting out a woman’s clitoris so she can’t feel sexual pleasure. It’s not the same.

  10. neechee5150 says:

    @captwasabi If UTI prevention was the real reason or a sufficient reason to cut childrens genitals, we would be cutting baby girls before cutting baby boys as from 0-18 girls get 4 to 10 times more UTIs than uncircumcised boys.

  11. neechee5150 says:

    @airpickone The AMA, AAP, CPS, RACP & BMA which are some of the most pretigious medical associatins in the world all state that routine circumcision is NOT medically indicated and that the potential benefit of circumcision do not outweigh the potential risks and complications.

  12. neechee5150 says:

    According to the UN/WHO there are 4 types of female circumcision/FGM with one or more sub types. FGM 1a is the removal of the female prepuce/clitoral hood. The female prepuce and the male prepuce/foreskin are homologus structures. As such circumcision is the same as FGM 1a plus features of other types of FGM as the foreskin is torn from the glans before it is cut off.

  13. lillamypie says:

    From the ‘International Journal of Men’s Health’ : “The circumcised men…..had higher prevalence of two of the three alex-ithymia factors (difficulty identifying feelings and difficulty describing feelings); and were 4.53 times more likely to use an erectile dysfunction drug. Alexithymia in this population of adult men is statistically significant for having experienced circumcision trauma and for erectile dysfunction drug use.”.

  14. lillamypie says:

    According to the ‘International Journal of Men’s Health’ a study was conducted using the Toronto Twenty-Item Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) checklist. Although it was a preliminary study using 435 self selected men, the study revealed the following disturbing results. (see next post)

  15. @idricool alert Mythodiir he is is a missionary dog they all lie and pretend they were ex Muslims they rtake arab christians or Arab looking southamerican and tel them to act and pretend you were Muslim and now you are christianit is part of they pathetic attempt to encourage Muslims to do likewise they think Muslims are stupid and fall for their crude tactic and follow them and do like wise

  16. Nobody has the power to decide for others;everyone has its own choice.Why cutting out something so beautiful? The foreskin is something that completes man penis.No guy must have his foreskin cut off.Being intact or not should be a choice.

  17. Komnenit says:

    All babies are born with a condition called physiological phimosis, which is natural and completely normal. The foreskin and the glans will separate with time and the child may get injured if the doctor or the parents try to lower the foreskin down. The complete separation of the glans and the foreskin will be done in puberty.No need to cut off healthy erogenous tissue, no need to mutilate babies and vulnerating not only their bodies, but also their fundamental and human rights.

  18. Mythodiir says:

    @TheYellowtulip It’s just as bad, I just respect the way they accept the facts. Most Muslims aren’t that accepting of ideas apposed to their religion, the Jewish people in this documentary are very accepting of the fact and they just carry on doing what they do because of their dogmatic belief system.I still think it’s bad, but they acknowledge the truth of the matter.

  19. Regrow4skin says:

    I was circumcised as an infant but have been restoring my foreskin. I now have a natural looking foreskin, complete coverage. I was told that foreskin restoration was impossible but I am proof that a natural looking foreskin can be obtained through non-surgical foreskin restoration. End genital mutilation (female & male) worldwide. See “REGROW123″

  20. Phimosis is just an excuse for Circumcision since the skin has to be torn from the glans before the foreskin is cut so they might as well just separate it from the glans and pull it back instead of cutting the whole foreskin off.

  21. Dawid says:

    Yes, considering you came here saiyng you prefer sex with genitally mutilated males, knowing full well it would offend. You ignore the people harmed, for your own selfish idiosyncrasy. You could have kept it to yourself instead of coming here to say it as an insistence where you know people consider forced male circumcision a bodily rights violation, child abuse, and a gender rights violation. You knew what you were doing when you came here; don’t act innocent.
