Circumcision is not a part of Christian tradition.
Do Orthodox Jews hate uncircumcised Jews?
Answer 1No, but they might refer them to mohels to circumcise them.Answer 2Hatred is probably the wrong word. Disappointment and pity would probably be more accurate to describe the feeling that most of the Orthodox Jewish community has towards those Jewish men who are uncircumcised. (Female circumcision has no place in Judaism.) To Orthodox Judaism, the circumcision is the physical mark of the Divine Covenant which Jews have with God (Genesis ch.17) and represents one of the connections a Jew has to his tradition and history. Therefore, an uncircumcised Jew cannot demonstrate the tradition and connection in the same way that a circumcised Jew can. See the discussion section for a similar example.
