He means metzitzah b'ph or oral suction circumcision. What it means is that after cutting away the foreskin the rabbi or other person performing the circumcision put the penis in his mouth and sucks away the blood. And yes it was most likely done that way to Jesus given his time, place and nationality. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brit_milah It was standard practice for Talmudic Jews, but has since become controversial and uncommon. http://www.emohel.com/lifeordeath.php Hasidic Jews still practice it though.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
