Never mind what happened 2000 years ago. Today, I have many Jewish friends who I know damn sure had nothing to do with Christs death 2000 years ago. I am sure my own great grand parent could have been Jewish, and could have participated in sentensing Jesus, but who cares. Jesus ACCEPTED DEATH TO SAVE US! After I see this movie, and so are millions of other Christians, we will all think about the suffering of our lord on the cross TO SAVE US. No one is going to say; hey 2000 years ago some Jews killed this Jew Messiah! It is paranoid and borderline retarded to keep worrying about a movie in a land that is so proud to be the beacon of the freedom of opinion, press, and expression. Stop the hostility towards Mel Gibson, and let him be free to make whatever movie he wants. The market will judge if it is good or bad.

I know there are plenty Threads on "The PASSION" lately, it is just important for us supporters and beleivers not to let the LIES permeate the public that a Movie about our LORD and SAVIOUR has anything to do with Anti-Semitism....

No one is going to say; hey 2000 years ago some Jews killed this Jew Messiah! Who is saying that besides the ADL? Historical persecution is NO EXCUSE for their Gibson bashing. They have no basis. Jews have NEVER been persecuted in America. This is the kindest nation the jews have ever known, and now some of them (e.g. ADL) are trying to twist things. Meanwhile, jews discriminate against Christians as I have pointed out - in America!

Exactly. The ADL is either paranoid or hate-filled or both. It's a free country and Gibson paid his own money, and there is ZERO evidence that Gibson is anti-semitic and the movie is based solely on the New Testament (the ADL thinks the NT is anti-semitic!!)
