I don't accuse people of anti-semitism unless I believe the charge to be so, nor have I done so here at FR. And I cannot recall even specifically making that charge here.

Yes, I have seen the movie.

If in the minds of some discussions about the movie have been "very damaging to religious Christian-Jewish relations in America" that is indeed unfortunate. I don't see it that way at all.

I see the debate as being between fans of the movie, and those who just don't agree with Gibson's vision.

Those who don't agree with Gibson's vision are disloyal neocons. You need to pay more attention to the threads.

Great. So, what scenes specifically were "anti-Semitic"?

What dialogue specifically was "anti-Semitic"?

As I noted on another thread:

In "The Passion", a negative portrayal of Caiphas and "the mob" represented a negative portrayal of the entire Jewish people and was therefore "anti-Semitic" and "hateful"................. Now, in the network sponsored "Judas", a negative portrayal of Caiphas and "the mob" represents nothing more than the portrayal of a corrupt individual human being (who happens to be Jewish) who manipulates a generic mob which seems to have no religious label attached to it........Is there a double standard here or I just imagining it?

Millions upon millions of Christian Americans are conecting very deeply with the religious meaning of this movie. Labelling it "anti-Semitic" without specifically saying why does not call each of them, as an individual, "anti-Semitic". It merely calls the defining event of their religious belief system "anti-Semitic".
