Скачать или смотреть Is circ*mcision MORALLY okay? (Hitchins vs Rabbi)

In this intense and thought-provoking exchange, Christopher Hitchens goes head-to-head with a rabbi over one of the most controversial religious practices still widely accepted today: circumcision.

The debate dives straight into the moral heart of the issue. Is circumcision a sacred covenant rooted in thousands of years of religious tradition, or is it an ethically unjustifiable act imposed on a child without consent? Hitchens challenges the practice from a secular, humanist perspective, arguing that bodily autonomy and individual rights should come before ancient customs. The rabbi, on the other hand, defends circumcision as a deeply meaningful religious obligation, cultural identifier, and moral good within Judaism.

Throughout the discussion, questions of parental authority, religious freedom, children’s rights, and modern ethics take center stage. Does tradition justify irreversible physical alteration? Should religious practices be immune from moral scrutiny? And where should society draw the line between faith and harm?

This clip captures the clash between faith and skepticism, tradition and modern morality, and religious identity versus individual autonomy—all delivered with Hitchens’ trademark sharp wit and uncompromising criticism.

Whether you see circumcision as a sacred rite or a violation of human rights, this debate forces viewers to confront uncomfortable questions that are rarely discussed openly. 🧠🔥
