Ah yes. The attacks on any Jew who does not like this movie continues.

Ah, no.

Defense of the film, Chiristianity, and Christians against those who would accuse us of anti-Semitism where it doesn't exist continues.

These are not "attacks on any Jew who does not like this movie."

I saw Father Andrew Greeley on TV last night. He did not like the film at all. But you people do not attack him relentlessly, do you?

"You people?" Watch who you libel.

Jews aren't being attacked by "us people." Stop grandstanding.

I haven't read Greeley's comments. Post a thread on him and see what happens.

How dare you smear good people in this manner. Just because they disagree with you.

I'm uneasy with the neocon/Jew formulation. I'm also uneasy with the viciousness by which some Jews, such as Krauthammer, have taken the opportunity of this film to display their anti-Christian bigotry against Christians in a Christian nation that has always been Israel's best friend.

If you think our ongoing support to Israel will remain unremarked in the face of these smears, you will find you are mistaken.

And if you think that "The Passion of the Christ" or the unnecessarily hostile reaction to it by some Jews will cause us Christians to be any less believers that we should bless the seed of Abraham in the Land where God has placed them, then you are also mistaken.

I don't engage in groupthink. If an individual is an anti-semite that is his/hers to own and his/hers alone. I certainly wouldn't put you in that category.

That's good to know. :)

There is nothing anti-Christian about having problems with this movie. If that was so, there appears to be quite a few anti-Christian Christians out there.

Shrug. If one's support for Israel is so paper-thin that a disagreement over a movie, or Biblical interpretation, shakes it, how strong was it in the first place? And plenty of Jews have supported the film, so how will you decide to withdraw your support for Israel -- based upon the opinions of which Jews???

Dittoes to this one--but in no wise to we need to be treated as if we are some sort of barefoot, toothless evangelical bumpkins rec'ing wisdom at Krauthammer's sophisticated intellectual feet.

Have long since gotten sick of this kind of elitist condescension, and sick and tired of hints at "we might call you antisemite if you don't get back in line."

: )

We can choose the pundits we please--they are at our pleasure, anyway. They've gotten to be a bit of a bore--would like to read something new from somebody with something new to say. I'm always ready to read the latest from Ann Coulter--but I don't think I'll return to Kraut anytime soon.

Eloquently phrased. Yes it does, and yes it will continue.

The reaction of some Jews to this film has caused more stress in the relationship of Jews and Christians in this country than the film itself.
