I maybe crazy (I have the cats that could prove it) but Mel made this film with the message that
we are all responsible for the death of Christ. I think some Jewish people look at the film and read the message they are responsible (AND total miss
WE ALL ARE PART) for the death of Christ and then they start screaming.... We are being picked on again.
I can see a musical play written about the making of The Passion where that ADL guy sings and dancing to a song titled "It's all about Me".
