Maybe this is the real motive behind Jewish criticisms and the Passion movie. Maybe Jewish leaders are afraid that some fellow Jews may decide to accept Jesus as their long awaited Messiah.

That's not going to happen and I don't think that's what they're really afraid of. They're furious at Gibson because his movie has made Christians stand up and defend their faith (they were supposed to cave-in and apologize the minute Abe Foxman called Gibson an anti-Semite). The movie might even help create more Christians by drawing people who had fallen away or who had never been Christians in the first place.

By the way, I wouldn't be surprised if some big Hollwood hot shots are also furious with Foxman for turning what might have been just a little art house film into a major cultural event.

They're afraid....very afraid. Thus they attack the messenger, for these unbelievers recognize that everyone is now talking about and saying the name of ....gasp...Jesus, the Christ.
