As a Jew I must clear up something basic...these are NOT "JEWS"! So-called "umbrella" Jewish groups are Socialists who worship only Secular Humanism. These are the same groups who supported Stalin for decades despite the evidence of mass-murder. They, like the fat pig Abe Foxman, Michael Lerner and other JINOs are Christian-hating ghouls who create more anti-Semetism than all the skinheads in the world combined. REAL Jews do not insult and demean the faith of our Christian friends by attacking the Gospel. How DARE these Leftist JINOs partonize Christians by asserting that the film represents "backward" Christianty. Despicable! With every dollar it earns at the box-office, "The Passion" repudiates bigoted gasbags like Foxman and these nauseating left-wing groups.
But what really bugged me was when I heard Jackie Mason spouting the "antisemite" line. He actually claimed that this movie might cause antisemitic outbursts in Europe--as if Gibson put all the Muslims there in the first place.
Jackie Mason. That was the worst. I'm just crazy about Jackie Mason.
You said it right: you and I will never see them in a shul. I have no idea why they even consider themselves Jewish.
