What's there no debate about the shooter...there's no two sides to it. Sorry, this has nothing to do with anything. THere are threads about that if you want to get into it, but one has nothing to do with the others EXCEPT for one connection. Someone like Gibson who spews this kind of crap gives crazies like the Seattle shooter the excuse he needs to shoot up some Jews. I'm not saying these events were connected...I've been accused of that today.
No it does not give them that excuse. How silly.
Abe Foxman has been agitating against fundamentalist Christians for years, and he's been doing it for the most despicable of reasons — as a fetcher for donations.
Fundamentalist Christians are the best friends that Jews in general, and Israel in particular, has ever had, or will ever have.
They are the most potent pro-Israel political force in the US today.
It is starting to get under the skin of many of us when American Jews display what can only be termed as ingratitude.
Gibson made some inexcusable statements, but I have not heard that he advocated violence.
If Mel Gibson is guilty of a hate crime, he is no more guilty than is Abe Foxman and those of his ilk who accuse fundamentalist Christians of anti-Semitism.
Think about it and learn who are youir friends and who really would do you harm if they had the opportunity.
Glass houses and all thhat sort of thing.
