Antisemitism[edit]

Unfortunately, but perhaps unsurprisingly, some groups opposed to circumcision rely on anti-Semitic tropes to spread their message. A common refrain is alluding to a conspiracy of greedy doctors performing anti-Christian rites on innocent, shrieking children for a paycheck.[1] One Christian anti-circumcision group openly quotes Martin fucking Luther's position on the issue, where he accuses Jewish elders of circumcising babies with their fingernails (ouch!), as supporting evidence for their argument.[2]
