Do you believe he didn't know about the Holocaust Denial conference? I don't.

I don't believe that either. I think Mel is still in denial. Frankly , he wasn't too impressive.

I heard that on Sirius this morning. The original question asking what his reaction to this conference was. That response of his troubled me. You could not know about any such conference going on but one should oppose such things anyway!

[veronica]

When questioned he seems incapable of clarity on any issue involving Jews or the Holocaust. There is always squirming, equivocating, defensiveness, or outright anger. That in itself reveals all.

I am dubious if he claims not to have heard about that conference. It was on front page of most newspapers in the last few days. People in the movie biz do get tunnel vision, especially when they are in the thick of a campaign, but still, I'm dubious.

I have a very good friend who is a world-recognized expert on Aztec, Mayan cultures etc. Has written several books on the topic. But so appalled he was by The Passion (no - he's not Jewish) he won't see Mel's movie until it's on cable. I'll be interested in his take on the film.

He's probably snubbing them in retaliation for not getting invited.
