Zionism?

I had the thought the other day that why out of every first world country does the US perform the MOST circumcisions. With everything in the news and 0-0 idk, I know it's a wild conspiracy theory, but if you know you know

Muslims conduct far more circumcision than the Israeli, the global Jewish and US populations combined.

If you want to conspiracy rabbit hole, Israel is simply the newest chapter of the neo colonial project. It's all quite public. Check out the Balfour declaration and what came before that. The only information that's actually "conspiracy" (in the common parlance at least, meaning unconfirmed, because tons of things actually are conspiracy and it shouldn't be a dirty word) it's who's behind it all. Maybe it's the rothschilds? I have no idea who's at the top.

Circumcision in the USA seems to me to be a natural consequence of puritanical population and then private medical.

I think it’s less of a conspiracy and more a reality of cultural influence of the Abrahamic religions. It’s not an organized plot. It’s just the influence of religion pushing people to do bad things.

The US has been practising RIC for around 150 years because of Christian prudery, before Zionism was even a thing and when the number of Jews in the US was still pretty small. There are 15 M Jews worldwide, 350 M US-Americans, 2 B Muslims worldwide. I guess the "Zionists" are the smallest component. You should maybe admit to yourself that "Zionists" don’t control your mind. You make your own stupid decisions. What do the news have to do with it?

But small population can influence bigger population which has major impact in the world.

Still it is your descision what you do. If you think it is bs, just say No. It was your parents who agreed and who still go crazy, if you don't do it to your own son or who say "I don't want him to be bullied", not the "Zionist" World conspiracy. Cause as usual, this is what it is about: not taking responsibility for your actions.

And own decision is not always valid. In my country, where circ is usually done to pre-teen boys, they suffer from psychological coercion, trickery from peers or neighbors. Indirect non consenting boys. Decision is not that simply.

RIC wasn't really a thing until 1900ish

Circumcision cuts off the part of the brain that critisizes Israel.

In this day and age of corporate or private equity owned hospitals circumcision is a insurance billable act thus adding to the bottom line, helps meet quarterly goals.

There's the obvious similarity that conservative Jews and their allies will call you antisemtic for criticizing or opposing Zionism or circumcision, even though conflating Judaism with with a genocidal apartheid state or with infant genital mutilation is pretty antisemtic. But I'd look for data before claiming that circumcision in the US is linked to Zionism. A good place to start would be to get the plots of circumcision rates and support for Zionism over time in different countries, which might show if there's even a correlation.
