I am not a Jew and I say that is bloody nonsense. They can take criticism. I can criticise Israel's policy of occupation of the West Bank, its policy of settlements in the West Bank, its building of walls that includes territory not in line with last UN resolution.

In contrast for male circumcision you have not removed pleasure centres, just the protective cover that guards the head of the privates.

Well the plus is your less likely to catch HIV-AIDS and maybe other loveual diseases. Be thankful.

It goes back to Old Testament. It was a sign of a relationship with God, then. Read up on Abraham's life in Genesis. Relationships with God always involved blood in some way.
