''Reuters'' (2012) reported that increasing numbers of "Israeli parents are saying no to circumcision. " Some fear it is a form of "physical abuse". Discussion of [[Brit Milah| circumcision]] is said to be "taboo". [[Ronit Tamir]], the founder and executive director of [[KAHAL]], said, "The phenomenon is growing, I have no doubt. When we started the group 12 years ago we had to work hard to find 40 families ... They were keeping it secret and we had to promise them we'd keep it secret. Then, we'd get one or two phone calls a month. Nowadays I get dozens of emails and phone calls a month, hundreds a year."<ref name="reuters2012">{{REFnews
