What Mel doesn't have to do is say "I disagree with my father about the Holocaust". Anyone obviously can draw that conclusion because of the difference in their opinions, but Mel himself does not directly denigrate his father.

I understand his silence, but Hutton has pushed his son very close to the line, particularly to the extent that he and his ilk use use the movie promote his views.

The "Honor thy Father" issue is a straw man, I can't imagine his faith requires or even allows him to commit a transgression (not saying he's there yet) on that basis.

Other public figures associated with or commenting on the film who refuse to condemn Hutton and his antisemitic beliefs (which Mel characterizes as a sin)should be condemned.
