Everybody keeps bringing this thing up about Mel's hand. Meaningless. It's JUST .... a .... hand.

To Krauthammer and a whole lot of Jews the other much more powerful symbols (since symbols seem to mean so much to you) .... like the WHOLE movie .... make Jews look like monsters.

You don't see it. Freepers don't see it. Charles Krauthammer and half the Jews on earth .... DO.

No, it isn't just a hand. It is the filmmaker's hand. It is the hand of a non-Jew. It is the hand of someone who was never a Roman soldier. It is the hand of a human being who is acknowledging his own sin, his own guilt, his own role in this story.

Oh really? Does Jesus (a Jew, and God himself, to boot) look like a monster in the movie? How about his mother? What about the girl who tries to bring him water? Nearly every protagonist in this film is a Jew.

But I guess that doesn't count, 'cause you don't want it to.

No. It's been explained to you close to ten times now that Gibson's hand shows you that he accepts his culpability for putting Christ on the Cross.
Tell your wife that, would you?

Perhaps that's because they desire to see believing Christians as monsters who see Jews as monsters.
We aren't, we don't, and the Jews will have to be happy with that.

They see their own delusion. They claim to see into the hearts of Christians and to be able to discern in them their worst fears. That's a Jewish probelm (for half of them, according to you), and we Christians will patiently understand, and forgive, while our mistaken Jewish friends work though it.

No it isn't JUST a hand. It symbolizes Mel's belief that HE is responsible for the death of Christ. Yet you continue to say that the movie shows Jews as mostly responsible.

Facts have been continually posted here. The movie showed that the mob was paid to be there. We saw that there were priests who tried to stop Caiphas. We saw Jews on the side of the road crying. We saw Simon demand that the Romans stop beating Christ. Those are facts. You are arguing that feelings trump facts.
