I challenge you to name PROMINENT christian leaders in politics, society or business - - people comparable in status to eisner or weinstein - - who would dare mock Judaism the way eisner and weinstein (and much of the rest of Hollywood) routinely mock Christianity.

I don't know of any currently, but this article details some frightening statements.

"When convenient, Hitler and his Nazi henchmen dredged up the anti-Semitic writings of an elderly Martin Luther to justify their hatred for Jews." If this is true then Martin Luther is one prominent leader from the past.

"There is no innocent blood of Jewish children in the world. All Jewish blood is guilty. You have to die. This is the punishment that has been awaiting you because of that sin [of deicide]," he replied." From a slovakian papal nuncio, whatever that is. But we could possibly assume a higher level Catholic official?

There are some ugly things said in this writing that I have no reason to doubt. There are some hugely ugly things said by Chrysostom, beloved of the Orthodox (my) church.

How can the Jewish people know these things and not be worried? What an opportunity we have to show them the real love of Christ. Instead I see some posters here turning on them and saying they hate us.

My point has to do with the kind of bigotry that we see today, not 500 years ago with Luther or 1800 years ago with a church father. Today - - as you point out - - - American business and cultural leader who happen to be christian, at least nominally, do NOT mock, ridicule or defame Judaism --- thank God. But there are quite a few business leaders who happen to be Jewish - in Hollywood - - who make a nonstop practice of denigrating Christianity. Yet we hear nothing in protest from Foxman and the others who are libeling Gibson and his movie.

As for fears about persecution - - I remind you again that the two teens who shot up Columbine appeared to have been gunning for christians in particular. In fact, in the video they made before the event they curse Jesus and some of the christian students, for being christian. Now, do you think that some of the anti-christian stuff out of Hollywood might feed such vicious mindsets? I suggest you start thinking about the possibility that Jews aren't the only ones who should be worried when bigotry in the media raises its head (indeed, christians might have even more reason to be worried, because there's more media bigotry against christianity than against any other religion (though you wouldn't know it to hear Foxman)
