So what does Mel Gibsons father being a nazi have to do with Mel Gibson?
The movie he directed is not anti-semetic.
How can it be anti-semetic? It doesn't have anything in there about hating Jews.
Jesus put himself to death, he chose to be the sacrifical lamb, so that we could all be reunited with God. Don't you all understand that? |

Mel's father said that Jews weren't killed in the Holocaust, they simply got up and left --this sounds somewhat familiar. Oh right, 1948, Palestinians weren't killed and driven out, they simply got up and left, right.
:rolleyes:
feel our pain, Illan. |

erm, I already said i saw no anti-semetism in this movie. just to back me up, my friend today after class, said he used to be catholic and got inspired from the movie. he is now less, probably zero, anti-semetic.

Just because he denies the Holocaust and thinks the Jews are evil doesn't make him a Nazi. Nazi was a party in Germany... Until he says, I am a member of the SDAP, then he isn't a nazi, just a close-minded crazy traditionalist Christian.
To rizen, well, I had a friend that watched it and was out-raged about how the jews were portrayed. Also the adl (www.adl.org) says otherwise. |

No kidding...and if we are condeming people soley because their ancestory was Nazi I guess we should hate most of Germany and all of its post WWII descendants. It's pretty silly logic to not like someone because of what their father or ancestors did or didn't do. |
