Fair enough. But proof is in the pudding, and conservative Christians (who saw the movie in droves and approved) have been staunch supporters of Israel and people of Jewish faith in America.
A poisonous mixture Muslim fundamentalism, extreme Arab nationalism and blame America leftists here, in Europe, and the Middle East are the root of the current problem.
Your points are dead on accurate. But with all due respect (please explain because I don't get it) I'm not sure what Mel Gibson or the "Passion" has to do with mideast peace.
To add to your observations though, it's true that Arab nationalism is an issue. I have an insiders view on this one. They haven't gotten over the fact that they lost the wars against Israel in 1967 and 1973. They can't simply take pride in the fact that they fought as a legitimate, brave Army and gave it their best shot...and got their butts kicked.
It happens. Heck, the USA lost in Vietnam. The Soviets lost in Afganistan. The Nazi's and imperial Japan lost WWII. Fair and square.
Get over it and move on. They won't let it go.
Imagine if Japan and Germany refused to admit defeat 60 years ago. They would still be outlaw regimes today instead of selling Honda's and Benz's around the world and living in peace in productive peaceful countries.
Your other point, about the left and the Jewish vote has been a mystery to me for some time. It's a source of debate for me and my very close Jewish friends. I still don't understand why Jews continue to vote predominantly for liberal left wing Democrats.
Their explanation, and it is plausible, is that it doesn't matter who is in the White House or Congress, they will support Israel regardless. I guess they have other issues to consider.
