Introduction of male circumcision into western socities started in the 19th century by 'doctors' who tried to introduce it as something benefitial to the health. Claiming that it would protect from venereal diseases even though their studies could not support that claim whatsoever. These doctors were fond of the old testament, one of them claimed that the hebrew penis is superiour because the uncircumcised penis was filthy and caused diseases.

Interesting enough, it was in the 19th century jews were being allowed in to medical school in Europe, the same century circumcision was being pushed unto Europeans as something benefitial to the health.

I think these doctors were most likely cryptos.
