Well, the Pharisees are my fathers. What gives Mel Gibson the right to tell slanderous stories about my fathers?

You are saying the Gospels do not record what happened? You deny Jesus of Nazareth was scourged and crucified at the hands of the Romans, at the behest of the high priests?

Because they in fact perceived a threat from Jesus to their authority and that is recorded in the Bible does not anti-semitics make of believers in the divinity of Jesus Christ.

Big difference from what you pose about Gibson's father.

There is no record of it, other than the Gospels, which were written by people who cannot in any sense be considered unbiased witnesses. Mark and Luke were not witnesses at all. Matthew was a bitter, shunned man whose testimony would not have been considered credible in a Jewish court because he was a publican. The Gospel of John was written too late to have been written by John the Apostle.
