"Besides, there is a pro-Israeli message in Gibson's movie.

Lately, Yasser Arafat has taken to declaring that the original inhabitants of Israel were Palestinians. But there are no Palestinians in Gibson's Jerusalem, just as there were none in the Gospels. Jesus and his disciples are as Israeli as Ariel Sharon.

The Arabs are still 600 miles and 600 years from the Holy Land.

If the Anti-Defamation League were smart, it would stop bugging Mel Gibson for an apology and ask instead for a couple hundred copies of the movie."

I'm glad to see someone else noticed this!

That is a point I never considered. Everyone seeing or hearing about this movie will automatically associate acient Jerusalem with the Jews, not Palestinians. It is an interesting concept.
