After watching a forum discussion last night where people were willing to cut ol’ Mel some slack because of his making POC I was dumbfounded at the stupidity of some people. Simply because the man made a stinking movie they’re willing to write off his anti-semitic comments.
Which ends up sounding a little like this… this decent man, Gibson, fought the elite in Hollywood (Jews) and the media elite (Jews) to get Passion of the Christ made. A movie we adore, whimper, whine, and faint over. Of course the fact that he evidently has anti-semitic feelings doesn’t matter. As long as he got Passion of the Christ made. Give me a break!
What Should Mel Do?
1. Publicly denounce his Father’s beliefs.. Newsflash for Mel: You can love your Father but that doesn’t make him any less an asshole for what he believes or does. Trust me on this. I have an asshole for a Father.
2. Pickup a copy of Elie Wiesel’s “Night” and actually read it. I’m sure it might tax his actor’s brain but one must do what one must do.
3. Since he seems to believe that the Jews cause all the wars in the world perhaps a huge hunk of change donated to Magen David Adom might be in order?
I am still jaw droppingly stunned that people will cut him slack over his horrible comments. When the movie came out he made a point of saying it was his hands that were on film when the nails were driven in.
I guess he nailed that “fucking jew” to the cross.
He has a hell of a lot of ’splaining to do to the Jews he offended and to one Jew in particular.
I must confess that I get very angry over comments such as those he made. I also get angry at those who would gloss over what he said simply because he made a movie they agree with.
If people who make comments such as these are not confronted and taken to task for the comments they make we are in deep trouble.
I fear that one day something horrible will happen in this country, and the world, that will make Hitler look like an amateur.
Don’t tell me it couldn’t happen here… all you have to do is read the news.

I am soooo with you on this one!!! Did I know you were Jewish? Cause now there are 2 pissed off Jews. As for your last sentence about Hitler - I quiver at the thought it could happen even worse. Let’s hope things change quickly for Israel and the Jews of the world!
