Perhaps you could explain the purpose of your questions if they were innocent?

I would like the context of the ADL's criticisms of the movie to be seen in the context of the systematic persecution for almost 17 centuries by people who thought of themselves as christian. The fears of the ADL are grounded in historical facts. They arise out of a paranoid, but real, threat to Jewish existence.

I used the same word twice in a sentence (context). I lose two points.

That's the point..."historical fact." "Christians," I would hope, are not as narrow-minded as they once were in in thinking that Jews were totally responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. They were instruments, but not the cause. We are ALL the cause. As mentioned earlier: It was my hand on the hammer and my sin on His shoulders.

Foxman doesn't get it. Maybe he's just afraid Jews will go to the movie & get converted. Doubt it, but it's possible.
