According to the OP, a law just signed by DeSantis "banned circumcision." This is in reference to a piece of legislation that was introduced more than two months ago, debated in both the Florida House and Senate before being passed.

Given that Florida has a Jewish population of more than 670,000, and that there is absolutely no indication that Jewish organizations in Florida argued at any point during the two and a half months the bill was pending that it would ban circumcision, the OP apparently believes and/ or would have us believe that one of the following things is true:

1. The Jewish population of Florida didn't notice this legislation "banned circumcision".
2. The Jewish population of Florida didn't comprehend that the legislation "banned circumcision."
3. The Jewish population of Florida didn't care that the legislation "banned circumcision."

Or maybe there's a fourth explanation: the legislation doesn't ban circumcision and the OP is a piece of garbage that should be deleted.
