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".

I should say that the claim that the Passion is "anti-semetic" actually sterotypes a certain type of Jew or liberal polemecist. There is a certain kind of Jew who lives in the past with this hair trigger so ready to accuse others of anti-jewishness. They are superficial and shallow and indicate no depth to their screech of "anti-semite" in such an irresponsible manner.

In effect, they become the stereotype of the overly critical Jew who is splitting hairs without connection to the reality. As someone who fears the rise of real anti-semitism in the world--largely outside the United States, I am dismayed at the unthinking launch of this nominally Jewish attack [it really is the vacant Jewish left who does this in the name of all Jews] on this deeply religious film which is so tied ot the identity of Christians.

The Jewish left hates the fact that deeply religious Christians are very favorably disposed towards Jews. They miss no opportunityto distort this phenomenom into somehow a cause for Jewish alarm and wariness. It is almost as if these people have now sought to change Christian love for Jews by launching this no-nothing attack against the Christian heart.
