As a LOST TRIBE the Zulus will FIND Israel looking for their LOST foreskins when they FIND they have LOST their pleasure. Operation Abraham should be called Go Delila!

circumcision of baby boys has been stamped out in most western countries where it was once routine. Its still quite common in the USA- but then so is the death penalty! There is no excuse for doing this ''operation'' on babies. As for these adult men that is their choice but if you run stories promoting circumcision on health grounds you have a responsibility to outline the overwhelming arguments against circumcision. Some of these have been mentioned already by earlier tbs.

to not be promiscuous

by besmirching the Jews? You just forgot a detail: they are circumcized too.

Of course I know muslims are circumcised you complete moron. The vast majority of Christian babies in New Zealand and other western countries used to be circumcised too until about the 1970s or so

Hey, no baby is born Christian!! They are born human. About the circumcision though, bravo for stating your point. I agree absolutely.

Circumcision may improve your odds a little bit but you are eventually going to catch the disease if you keep getting exposed. #1 is right. Pass out condoms instead. It's a lot more effective and a lot less painful.

to a price to pay for Aids prevention. Even in a lot of cases of conversions where the name Abraham ben Abraham is adopted a ceremonial pin-prick (not a slice) is sufficient to fulfill the unique mitzvah of a Gerut. For pre-monocular infants (premies and 1-2 week olds) wine is still a general anesthetic in a body that knows no fungus. I hear people who never went through real personal trauma or mutilation talk about male circumcision as though it makes life or sex any less of a pleasure, and they're a bunch of narcissists in the most classical sense of the word. Get over that because... China's that way.

Still, it is a valid posting about useful tactics to fight the spread of AIDS, and you folk do have no small, cultural expertise in these pickle trimming matters.

All would go well if the African surgical team offered a special....EVERYTHING HALF OFF!

Everyone knows circumcision was not part of Abraham's Covenant (Genesis 15) Right? Circumcision was added in Genesis 17 some 13 centuries after Abraham's lifetime. (Glick's book "Marked in Your Flesh") This is not to say don't have faith, but that the Jewish religion has always been changing.

Circumcision has been prove to reduce AIDS. Why is not yet known. Anti-Circumcision remarks are just weird. Anti-Semitic? As for handing out condoms, it doesn't work because African men often refuse to use them. This is another example of Jewish charitable work around the world...

Mark, your comment is very well stated. Could not have said it better.

Read about the details of the studies at http://www.doctorsopposingcircumcision.org/info/HIVStatement.html where educated medical professionals show how the studies were not scientific, and not accurate in their conclusion. Even the studies conclusions showed how women get AIDS more from circumcised men, so this is an attempt to "save the men, kill the women"? In reality, all this will do is promote the Zulu to have unsafe sex even more, and spread AIDS even more!
