Thanks for your comment.

Dennis Prager, who says he was the first Jew to see the movie (in a prescreening some time ago), says that he believes Jews and Christians are seeing two totally different movies when they see 'Passion'. Christians focus on Jesus and his suffering while Jews tend to "see if the movie really IS anti-semitic".

As a Christian, I certainly didn't look to see if there was any "anti-semitism" in the film - - why would I? But I do know that Jesus himself was a Jew, as were Mary, Simon, Peter, May Magdelen, and a whole lot of other people central to Jesus' life and times.

I can say that I sure didn't come away from the movie feeling any animosity toward Jews. I mean, this stuff happened 2,000 friggin' years ago! If I am going to sneer at today's "reparations" crowd for trying to instill guilt in whites for what (some of) their ancestors did to slaves 150 years ago, then I am certainly not going to look at Jews and connect them in any way to what (some of) their ancestors may have done - - 2,000 years ago. How stupid and hypocritical would that be?

Regards,
LH

PS. This Krauthammer is an idiot.

Stop. Pretend you are a Jew. All those folks you just named are heretics. the lowest form of life. Under Mosaic law of the time they deserved death.

The deep truth is .... no, you can't handle the truth.
