I'm still waiting for the antisemitism and religious riots against the Jews this film was supposed to ignite according to the experts and pundits.

Don't kid yourself. The media is very selective as to which "experts" and "pundits" they interview. There were no worries in my local Jewish community about antisemitism or riots as a result of this film.

Gibson and Foxman used each other -- Gibson as part of a clever guerilla marketing campaign to garner millions in free publicity, and Foxman to gin up big donations by scaring elderly Jews. Quid pro quo.

I'd love to see proof of this charge. Also, any film on the subject of Christ is going to get automatic publicity no matter what the adjenda of the film is. Gibson did not need any free publicity because it was coming, bad or good.

Yeah they did. They were perfect marketers for each other.
