Flag of Israel

The nation of Israel was reborn in Canaan in 1948 as foretold by the prophet Ezekial in Ezekial 37.[1] It was to be a home for the Jewish people.

Hebrew, the long dead language of the Jews, was revived and is the official language, although English is also widely spoken. Arabic is a secondary language.

The population of Israel is nearly 10,000,000. Jews constitute 73 percent, Muslims constitute 18 percent and the balance is of various other faiths. Of the Jews, 49 percent self-identify as secular.

Circumcision in Israel

The Times of Israel (2014) reported Jewish actress Alicia Silverstone is "among those Jews advocating against circumcision."[2]

The Times of Israel (2014) reported that the High Court overturned a Rabbinical Court decision that would have forced a woman to have a boy circumcised. The High Court stated that the Rabbinical Court "lacked the jurisdiction to force the procedure."[3]

Avraham Burg, writing in Haaretz (2014), asked, "Is this the generation that rejects circumcision?"[4]

Haaretz (2019) reported that Jewish men from Russia who were circumcised in Israel now regret their decision to be circumcised.[5]

Judaism and Islam require circumcision, however not all Jews and Muslims actually follow the teachings of their religion. Haaretz (2021) reported that many Israeli parents are not circumcising their sons.[6]

The Jerusalem Post (2023) has expressed some concern about loss of sexual sensation after loss of the foreskin by circumcision.[7]

Ritual circumcision in Israel and urinary tract infection

Several medical articles have reported urinary tract infection in Israel after ritual circumcision.[8] [9]

Circumcision death

Intactivist groups

There are several intactivist groups that oppose the the practice of non-therapeutic circumcision.

    Quote: “I didn’t take into account that I would be losing feeling or that sex would be less good. Even after I noticed the damage, it took me time to make the connection. It came up in conversations with the woman who is today my wife and who by training is a psychologist and a sexologist – and not a Jew, by the way. When we first started dating, she asked me why I had done it, and I told her. Since then she laughs at me occasionally and says that if I hadn’t undergone that nonsense, I would have greater enjoyment.”
