}}</ref> In an act of cynicism, or in just plain ignorance, Schenker claims a debate on "the benefits of circumcision" has yet to occur in the United States, and he pretends to want to start one. <ref name="Jewish Daily"/> He further tries to argue that Operation Abraham's motives have nothing to do with Judaism, despite the organization's obvious name. Opponents to Opration Abraham, argues Schenker, were led by "ignorance or cruelty or antisemitism."

| Title=David Llewellyn's Account of NHPC 2009 | Text=At one of the last sessions, the speaker from "Operation Abraham," an Israel-based group that apparently hopes to be engaged to assist the U.S. in circumcising black and Hispanic males, put a photo of an intact male up on the screen. The figure of an elephant had been drawn around the penis so that the intact penis looked like an elephant's trunk. The words "Yes! A circumcision please!" had been added to the photo. I remonstrated loudly until this smear against intact males was taken down. I then promptly left the session. I am still awaiting a deserved, written, direct apology from Dr. Peter Kilmarx, Chief of the Epidemiology Branch of the Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention of the CDC, who was in attendance and from whom I demanded an apology. | Author=Llewellyn, D. | Source=NHPC 2009| lang=| before=| after=| Transcription=| Translation= | ref=<ref>[http://www.circumcisionandhiv.com/2009/08/nhpc-2009-report-from-member-of-intact-america-in-attendance.html Llewellyn, D.
