There are a lot of other studies, and also neurosensitity measurements...

It turns out...

For men... There is a massive ammount of nerves...

Again? Did you think added that just as a joke?

It is a silly tradition and for you older people.. Talk to your children or grand children about it and tell them to research it.

Anyhow, I was not planning this discussion - it is not something I am campaigning for...I wanted to discuss 911.

But, discussing 911 is not allowed even here.

So, “peniswars 2019” is is...

Pay attention to what topics are not allowed to be discussed btw. It might be a clue..

It's been common in the States for far longer than any of us have been around. Remember that the Roundheads moved to America a long time ago in order to escape religious tyranny. ;)

Provide some links and we can have an actual discussion. Otherwise I stand as having the better of the argument.

I'm ok with circumcision but as an American I was totally disgusted to see the actual DETAILS of exactly how they were trying to bully Iceland into stopping their anti-circumcision efforts

The tone was not, we will go to Jews and get them to stop their own tourism to Iceland.

It was also not, we will tell Israel to complicate efforts to develop Israeli tourism inside of Iceland.

It was also not, we will focus on Jews in the USA to not go their and spend their money.

The tone absoluuuuutely was, "We will smear you like hell inside of the American market soooo much that the average slobbering farmer from Nebraska, who has never heard of Jews outside of their local Church sermon or 100 Holocaust movies --on whom we depend on but completely HATE-- will have a negative image of you, and he/she won't spend his money in your country."

THAT is how it was crafted; WE were being used to bludgeon a totally different entity, allies, yes, but a great metaphor for how it has gone for 60 years at different critical points. We Americans didn't even need to be physically present, we were a beast of burdon, without even showing up.

Also, there might have been fewer than 100 Jews in all Iceland, they had zero synagogues and zero Rabbis. The solitary Rabbi who moved there did so only AFTER Iceland started talking about stopping circumcision, the couple didn't speak the language and knew nothing about the country:

They were there specifically in order to serve as political activists under color of religiosity and their mission was to aggravate things; they well not have conducted services for locals.

Again, the American market and good, trusting people totally unversed in the complexities of the Arab/Israel matter (and even most things pertaining to Jews everywhere, outside of the Israel matter) were hijacked as props, as glassyeyed, slobbering instruments in a war of cultural terror in place that had NOTHING to do with us.
