You know I hate to point this out but in reference to the Passion, it was Jews that engineered Jesus' execution, he was betrayed by a Jew. However, that does not make Jews evil, since Jesus was also a Jew and so were his diciples.

Regardless, Jews were responsible for his arrest and execution, but not the Jews. So denying that Jews, and the Jewish establishment of the day, were not involved is as false as blaming modern Jews for the crucifiction of Jesus.

Tony Blair decided to take us into Iraq, does that make me responsible for the mess there now? Will it make my decendants responsible in 2,000 years.

As I recall Gibson's defence at the time was that it was the Gospel according to Mark.

Mark 43-65 clearly levels the blame at Judas and the Priests.

So I suppose that makes the Bible Anti-Semetic, except that the Gospels are reputed to have been written by Seminites.

Jews had Jesus crucified because he threatened the establishment but the fact that they were Jews is irrelevant in the context of racism because pretty much everyone in the whole book is a Jew.

Get over it.


So that leaves us with:

"F*****g Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Gibson then asked the deputy, "Are you a Jew?"
If thats all they've got its not much. Maybe Mel thinks we're at war with Muslim Extrimists because they hate us because we support Isreal.

Hardly major concrete evidence of anti-Semetic sentiments.

So maybe Mel is a Jew hater, or maybe he got drunk and launched into a tirade on the Middle East situation, which he blames Isreal for, as do the Arabs.
