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.
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.
The Jewish and Muslim religions officially require circumcision, however not all Jews and Muslims actually follow the teachings of their religion. Haaretz reported that many Israeli parents are not circumcising their sons.[2]
The Jerusalem Post has expressed some concern about circumcision.[3]

Quote:The survey also found that nearly a third of the parents would prefer to forgo circumcision but nevertheless have it done for social reasons (16.6 percent), health reasons (10.4 percent) and because it is important for the grandparents (2.1 percent).
