Here's where all of your confusion is, but I can sort it out for you if you are humble enough to consider. #3 is the important one; don't bother to respond to 1 or 2 with emotion if you won't answer #3.
1) Jews are indeed over-represented in medicine and law (and accounting) in that they are not merely 2-3% of the group. That is rooted in recent history; if you were educated and wanted to make money, you couldn't do it by rising in business if you were a Jew because of discrimination. Therefore, they started proprietorships. Over-representation does not mean, however, that they are in a majority in those professions. Far far from it. Probably less than 20%.
2) Being a doctor does not mean that you control the medical establishment. If Jews commonly become doctors, that does not mean they decide that circumcision is routine practice.
3) Your assertion that other countries don't do it is a willful ignorance of the information I have already given you. Canada, Australia, and the UK were doing it routinely a few decades ago, and have recently scaled back due to public awareness campaigns. That supports a "cultural" argument, but completely shatters the Jewish argument. It seems that the most "British" places were the ones that took to using it the most.
I called you anti-semitic not for criticizing Judaism - I know that you criticize all religions - but because you blamed Judaism where it had no place, basing your theory on myth and suspicion.
