Infant Dies from Herpes Infection After Rabbi Sucks Blood from His Penis (Seriously)

Posted by Kevin Farrell on Mar 7, 2012 in Genital Warfare | 43 comments

The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office is investigating the death of an infant boy who contracted herpes from a rabbi who sucked blood from the boy’s penis in a religious circumcision ritual called metzizah b’peh.

The cause of death was listed as “disseminated herpes simplex virus Type 1, complicating ritual circumcision with oral suction.”

Mayor Bloomberg Tuesday defended that finding.

“The doctors who found this are objective and independent scientists who don’t answer to anyone, including whoever is Mayor,” he told reporters at an unrelated event in The Bronx.

“One more point: There’s probably nobody in public life who fights harder for the separation of church and state than me. But religious liberty simply does not extend to injuring others or putting children at risk,” Bloomberg continued. “So we’ll continue working with the community and others to prevent more baby boys from suffering these tragic fates.”

Under the practice, the rabbi or mohel removes blood from the wound with his mouth — a practice city health officials have criticized, saying it carries “inherent risks” for babies.

Because of the inherent risks involved, other cities have banned the practice in this form. Instead, a straw is used to…well, still suck the blood from the infant boy’s penis.

Every now and then a story comes along that’s freckled with so many opportunities for puns, creative comparison, and general shenanigans that it completely short-circuits my blogger brain. This is one of them.

A baby boy is dead. I’ll keep my pedophile and No Homo jokes to myself. I will offer this one piece of unsolicited advice though; Herpes-infected rabbis of the world, please keep your mouths off of vulnerable, bloody newborn penises.

Guys, can you PLEASE do us liberal Jews a favor and distinguish that the sucking part is only practiced by a small minority of Ultra Orthodox Jews, and not an actual part of the circumcision ritual?

Guys, can you PLEASE do us readers a favor and not assume that we’re idiots who wouldn’t be able to differentiate between the practices of Ultra Orthodox Jews and large majority of non-Ultra Orthodox Jews?

Circumcision is a Jewish thing, not Christian or Catholic. Christianity does not require a blood sacrifice to God upon a male child’s birth.

The withdrawal of blood happens with all Jewish circumcision. The non-ultra orthodox jews still collect the blood from the baby’s penis when circumcision happens. only the methods differ with ultra orth sticking to Jewish tradition and sucking the blood out while “modern” Jews use sterile tubes to collect the blood from their baby’s penis for the sacrifice to their God.

It was around in the stone age long before Demiurge made any Jews.

We’re talking about a ritual of genital mutilation. The blood sucking part is just a detail.

http://twitter.com/HighEarl Earl High

no the blood sucking is important. along with the mutilation and the pedophilia aspects. blood sucking is important because it shows that Jews, all Jews, practice this withdrawal of blood and this removal of skin as form of sacrifice and blood offering to their God.

Jews are fucked. Once you take the blinders off you begin to see how horrible and bloodthirsty they truly are.

What a hateful creep.

You fail to mention even you “liberal” Jews collect the blood from the circumcised baby, just through sterile tubes. You Jews are sick and I have to say blood sacrifice is so 1,000 years ago. LOL, chosen people. fft.

Sort of like the mass bombings of Palestine are only committed by ‘extremist Zionist’?

Get out of the Racial Superiority Cult if you don’t like it.

That’s why I left the Church.

Thank you Rusty. I’m almost insulted by this article. This didn’t happen because circumcision is some terrible horrible evil thing done to babies, but because Rabbis shouldn’t put their mouths to a baby’s dick, especially when said Rabbi has herpes.

i think the article addressed that fine. being a gentile, i didnt read this and think that all jews sucked little kids wieners to drink their blood. i read it and thought, “ew” and then i figured it was an orthodox thing.

http://twitter.com/Dani_Californ1a Dani California

Yeah , I assumed that it wasn’t exactly something that was mainstream or commonplace either. Every religion/sect seems to have those groups which are a bit further out there then others. We can’t lump a few extremists in and let them speak for entire groups
http://twitter.com/HighEarl Earl High

all Jews do collect the blood, only the orthodox stick to the tradtional method of sucking. modern jews use sterile tubes for the collection. in the end both groups use the blood as an offering to their God.

Except circumcision is some terrible, horrible, evil thing done to babies. It’s an unnecessary surgical procedure still prevalent in America because of ignorance and tradition (which America just adores, it seems).

http://twitter.com/HighEarl Earl High

There is no tradition of circumcision in America. Circumcision did not begin in this nation until the 1970′s on the advice from Jewish Doctors telling Americans that circumcision would be more healthy for the child.

They adapted a religious tradition of theirs onto the population in order the population become accustomed to this and then less alarmed by what the entire world views as mutilation.

Its a scam to get us to be more Jewish. Again, learn who introduced circumcision into our culture and you will see what I said is fact.

OMG How awful the parents must be feeling now. My heart goes out to them. They did what they believe that God wanted them to do so I see no fault in that. The rabbi, on the other hand, should have passed on the responsibilities of the ritual to someone else. There is no way that he could have not known that he was infected with something. I hear that the symptoms are quite painful.

http://twitter.com/MrLeon Mr. Léon

Yes, and the circumcision itself caused the most pain of all. His sucking on the head only increased the level of pain in addition to sickening the child. It’s all immoral, in my opinion. We’d never do this to our little girls. I wouldn’t dare subject a daughter of mine to this kind of barbarianism, so why then do we find it acceptable to subject our little boys to this? It’s not right.

No part of the adults in this situation should come in contact with a baby boy’s penis in this case except- A gloved hand and the tools needed and that is it. This is child abuse and a sex crime, no matter if it’s a religious ritual.

Rusty- I wondered why I’d never heard of this. It’s good to know it’s not common, although even one case is too many.

http://twitter.com/MrLeon Mr. Léon

I agree with you 100%, Melinda. It is absolutely a sex crime and one of the biggest “sins” that an adult could commit. Subjecting your merely day-old little boy to something as cruel and painful as this is just sickening. I feel so absolutely horrible that these poor little boys have to suffer through this pain each and every day. I was circumcised myself as an infant and truly resent my parents for doing such a thing to me. The should have known better, damn it. They were my parents. My protectors. They should have checked into everything that the procedure involved and understood what it meant to have that “little snip”. And as for this article, I am completely mortified. Not only is the pain of the circumcision being intensified as the suction is applied to the boy’s penis, but this is considered an acceptable form of “religious” practice. Bullshit! I am so much bloodshed in the name of “God”. God would never approve of such behavior. An all-knowing, all-powerful, unconditionally-loving, omnipresent spirit would never, EVER approve of such inhumane barbarianism. Never. This is absolutely deplorable, and these people will pay in triple-fold for what they have done by means of Karma and a sentence to be served in the Underworld. And when that time comes, there will be no mercy to be had.

No wonder Jewish women hate to give blowjobs….the poor Jewish boys think that she has to suck until he bleeds, not cums….and I thought being molested by a priest was bad when they gave me wine and told me it was the blood of christ
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001079116251 Morgan Klaus S

Personally, I view circumcision alone as child abuse and a sex crime, so where do we draw the line?

I agree completely. And I’m a circumcised American. To this day, it greatly bothers me that I was violated so early in life.

I’m sorry. . . WHAT? I am horrified.

“By all means let an observant Jewish adult male have his raw-cut penis placed in the mouth of a rabbi. (That would be legal, at least in New York.) By all means let grown women who distrust their clitoris or their labia have them sawn away by some other wretched adult female. By all means let Abraham offer to commit suicide to prove his devotion to the Lord or his belief in the voices he was hearing in his head. By all means let devout parents deny themselves the succor of medicine when in acute pain and distress. By all means — for all I care — let a priest sworn to celibacy be a promiscuous homosexual. By all means let a congregation that believes in whipping out the devil choose a new grown-up sinner each week and lash him until he or she bleeds. By all means let anyone who believes in creationism instruct his fellows during lunch breaks. But the conscription of the unprotected child for these purposes is something that even the most dedicated secularist can safely describe as a sin.” -Christopher Hitchens

The blood can also be drawn out by capillary action using a fine glass pipette, so there is no need for oral contact to perform this ritual.

why the need at all to draw blood from a baby’s mutilated penis?

It is a totally stupid ritual, stop it. Parents be ware leave the little boys and their penises out of your religious craziness.

Forget the ritual… that form of herpes is also known as the cold sore virus.
You can also get genital warts from oral sex with someone who is about to break out with a cold sore. You’re most contagious before it comes out or even feels painful.

Wait, this was actually a part of a religious ritual?! Egads, how are so many people in this day and age surviving in the world with a brain from thousands of years ago? How on earth is society not just allowing them to do it, but encouraging it?!

Orthodox jewish customs where explained to me as being mostly about health and safety, by a jewish friend. Kinda curious about the “sucking blood” from a penis part of this situation. Anyone in the know care to explain what the thinking is behind this? Personally, I believe circumcision is mutilation, but i can understand how some might believe it to be cleaner. Nobody ever thought drinking somebody elses blood, even from a new born would be a safe bet though. Sounds like an excuse for a pedo to put a kids weener is his mouth to me.

http://www.facebook.com/lalachan1 Lara Silbert

According to wiki, it was thought to be cleaner at the time that the ritual came out (back when really not much was known about medicine), so it wasn’t being done as a pedo thing. But it’s been proven since back in the 18th Century that it actually puts the baby at risk of infection, thus achieving the opposite of what it was supposed to do, and so it’s very rare nowadays. Definitely that tradition needs to be discarded, and it’s sad to see anyone put their children’s lives at risk for something that’s been proven wrong.

Why is this cruel pedophilic practice still legal in this day and age?

I truly believe the catholic church is a cult. After doing my OWN research, the catholic torture the prophets of Christ in the dungeons and changed the Sabbath to Sunday and demonized the god Pan. I could go on and on.

It is way past the time for the baby boy pen is parts removal to stop. If an
adult wants to cut off genital parts, that is fine. Amputating nerves, blood
vessels, protective covering tissue and pleasure zone tissue of infants must
stop.

No one that is at all credible claims there are no functions to the parts cut
off. However, the sexual function and pleasure are ignored or downplayed by the
penis parts removal pushers — those trying to get cover for their own mutilated
state by forcing the disfigurment on the next generation (SHAME). The long term
harm is huge with nerve damage and harm to the sensory system. A whole range of
sensation and sexual and protective function are lost. The lips, nipples and
fingertips have similar touch sense. To take this away from another person
without their consent is heinous.

To remove these parts from a baby is way creepy.

I do not think circumcision is useful as I can see more and more new members at HerpesDatingNYC .c om, a dating and support community for people with herpes I have been in for years.

Thanks for clarifying that. I thought he was Catholic. This is some disgusting chit. N that’s some satanic ritualistic chit. Are u effen kidding me? That poor baby was done a favor and those parents need their ass whooped. The pedophile is gonna continue in his ways as long as he has “providers”……
