An unflattering role (for Jews) beyond even what the Gospels suggest, .........

Since Jesus, Joseph, Mary, all of the Apostles and most of followers of Christ during his lifetime were Jews, why is it that Caiphas and his underlings are always characterized as "the Jews" instead of characterized as "The Establishment", "The Authorities", "The Roman Colaborators", "The Gubmint", "The Corrupt Local Judges", "The Mean Local Cops", "The Man", "The Bad Guys"........

I don't see Southern Baptists taking it personally when we portray Bill Clinton in an unflattering role beyond even what the Starr Report suggests.

I don't see Catholics taking it personally when Mel Brooks sings "The Inquisition Song" in his "History of the World".

......made by the son of a well-known bigot.

The old "Sins of the Father" passed down from generation to generation. Is the practice acceptable when it is applied to a Gentile?

No, I am not saying he should suffer for the sins of his father, I am merely saying that, when he makes a movie insulting to Jews, the fact that he learned his religion from an anti-Semitic whacko is something that has to be taken into consideration when determining what his motives were.
