Mel's "despicable" comments will be echoed around the country and will be heard by many people, some of which will whole-heartedly agree with him (even though he now says he did not mean what he said) and will be inspired to take action- similar to the article linked above. Perhaps you have some understanding for how it must feel. Were I Jewish, I'd have a little trouble sleeping tonight.

May I just add:

Sometimes people lash out at others who they deeply but unconsciously want to love and respect them. They (Mel in this case) strike out (especially "under the influence") nastily because they are frustrated that they cannot find or create this harmony between the parties.

I just have a feeling that Mel would like to have some of that respect and love from some Jews who he feels (and knows) have come out in the recent past to injure him (during the "Passion" event).

I think he's a very idealistic guy, and it kills him that the world seems to be in very deep trouble. He's obviously given it all a lot of thought. He wishes all could be well or at least better.

Let's all try to understand a guy who sees evil here and there and wants it to die. He surely went overboard the other night. From what I read, he was wrong in many ways.

But I think I know from where he was coming. He just wants to help save this endangered world. He's 50 years old and is still sorting things out. He needs more time. He's not a bad guy.

Obviously his father is a bad influence on him in some ways. You all know about that. But Mel has a good heart........... please give him a chance. He is close to the powerful media folks in our society. He knows pretty well who is influencing opinion and also political international action.

To paraphrase FReeper, "Arrowhead", he has been close to" the warring factions within Jewry ................ media moguls who literally control the content of the sound-bite generation and the aggrandizement of "jews" and the destruction of Christian foundations in the movie making industry."

Mel just wants that destruction to end and the world to be healthier. He's severely frustrated, I think, that he cannot influence those who tried to injure and bury him during and after the "The Passion". He just went over the edge the other night. All of us please, let's give him some time. He'll be a good influence in the end.

****

(Just my opinion) ........ sorry this is not a work of art. I have hurried through it a bit.........gotta get out of here and into the nursery with the plants (they have no political opinions) ;-).

Wish I'd read your post first; I'd have not written mine. I agree with you.

I cannot believe some of the posts here.

Boo hoo poor Mel. The "Hollywood elite" didn't swallow his film whole, and "they" are out to get him, hence his tirade.

You don't wake up one day "frustrated" by the world, wanting to "fix" it, and suddenly become in the process a raving Jewhater.

It's very clear that he adopted his father's views, probably has since his boyhood. He didn't make a film that was rejected by "the elites", and therefore adopt anti-semitic attitudes, he made an anti-semitic film and now confirms, in his drunken stupor, that his attitude toward Jews animates his version of Christianity.

He not alone in his Jewhatred, btw. Tony Kushner, who wrote "Munich" is a Jewish Mel Gibson as far as I am concerned. So we're getting it from all sides these days.
