"Christians need to be more sensitive to that fact that "The Passion of The Christ" serves as a painful reminder to Jews...."
I think that Jews needed to be more sensitive towards the Christian faith. A lot of Jewish people i know still will not acknowledge that there was no jewish backlash created by the film. the only backlash that i have heard of stems from the unfair and disgusting reaction to the film and its supporters. I lived in New York City when the film was released and there were literally signs from Jewish groups that screamed that Gibson was being "historically inaccurate." These people fail to realize that calling the film historically inaccurate = calling the Gospels and the Christian faith as being historically inaccurate. What INFURIATES me is that the same people who protested the Passion were arguing for the artistic freedom in "Last Temptation of Christ." This is hypocrisy at its highest level. Rabbi Boteach and his continued disrespect of the Christian faith and the Gospels are insulting - what is so wrong is that if someone had flipped it and insulted the Jewish faith, he would be angered. I truly believe that the unfair and downright ridiculous reaction towards Gibson and his film and those who supported it created far more antisemitism. Remember when Gibson appeared on the Tonight Show and got a standing ovation? i heard Jewish co-workers denouncing the studio audience, calling them "anti-semitic." RIDICULOUS
Chill baby. You still got the numbers and the power. There are only 12 million Jews on this planet and 1.5+ billion Christians. Stop getting so wound up when Jews don't toe your party line.
To be fair, the insensitive ones are lefties and/or secularists (though it is nearly impossible to be a conservative secularist). Those leftists who use the accusation of anti-semitism to silence their opposition are no different than the lefties who use the word "racist" in every sentence.
