I would attack my aged father's remarks without attacking him personally. I heard and read what Mel had to say and it was a wishy-washy repudiation to say the least. He was not in "total disagreement" as you say. Please read David From's article posted today.

No one will ever convince me what is antisemitic and what is not. I am more then qualified to judge that for myself.

I do understand how important this movie is to Christians. I can appreciate that. However, I cannot and will not overlook Gibson's failure to recognize the murder and attempted extermination of all Jews and how that is different then other "atrocities" afflicted on non Jews. The Holocaust was a singular horrific event that targeted Jews and cannot be lumped together as an equal with other tragedies. Those that do so are antisemitic in this Jew's opinion.

Fair comment I think. I would certainly dissociate myself from the remarks of my father if he made them, aeo instante. The holocaust was singular because it was an efficient effort to exterminate a people in the modern age through high tech tools, that was given a priority higher than even the Nazi War effort.

He said, "I do not believe that"

I do not know what else he could have said that would not be a attack on his father in a public forum.

If you choose to say that this is not total disagreement and he needed to do more, than you are expecting far too much from a son who obviously still cares about his dad.

But, I fear I am wasting time, energy and bandwidth with you and other detractors.

I thoroughly respect what Gibson has created in this film and I admire his respect for his aged and wrong Father.

This generation of bigots has just about disappeared from the U.S.

Hopefully, it will remain so as my own Father was just like him.
