Today, I met an ex Jewish guy – 27 years old and has never had an intimate relationship due to having widespread genital herpes caused by a rabbi sucking the circumcision blood from his genitals as a baby.

Yes, you read it right.

I know this sub is getting quite broad in its scope – and I apologise if anyone feels this not to be relevant here, but I can’t let this go without trying to wake as many people up to it as possible.

The guy, a brother of a girl I work with, came from one of the ultra orthodox communities in NYC where this barbarism is practiced. The media would have you think it’s only a handful of recent cases – but according to him, hundreds of children have been affected over the years.

I’m a pretty hard person, but my heart broke for this guy. The conversation only came up because we were talking about modern dating and the difficulties around it – at which point he shared this unimaginable difficulty he’s had placed into his life.

Not only that – but looking into it more, I found that the NYC authorities moved to regulate the practice (that is, make parents read and sign documents detailing the risks + making sure strict hygiene practices are in place should the practice be carried out). Let that sink in – not to ban it, just to regulate it.

The proposal was met with outcry from the community – and was instantly dropped.

Again, I apologise if anyone deems this outside the scope of this sub – but to me, this is a conspiracy at the highest level. Child medical and sexual abuse – 100% condoned and protected by the state, a state which purports to stand for freedom and protection of the innocent. I just cannot get my head around it.

How do we wake more people up to this? Something has got to give, I genuinely cannot get it off my mind.
