"These included references to 'f------ Jews' and 'The Jews are responsible for all the war in the world', before asking the deputy: 'Are you a Jew?'"

I wonder if his slurs while drunk had anything to do with the way Jewish leaders smeared him for making The Passion. That might have given him a huge resentment.

I didn't think the Passion was anti-semitic, but I do remember all the debate. This episode makes me think that perhaps there was something to the accusations that the film was anti-semetic afterall. Maybe I just didn't see it.

The things Gibson apparently said are disgraceful. The fact that Mel uttered such things makes me think he may very well be a Jew hater.

..in the Lexus a bottle of Cazardores tequila in a brown paper bag "within easy reach" of Gibson while he had been driving. It was three-quarters full.

Good Grief....Mel Gibson, Acting like Cartman. :(

"I have battled with the disease of alcoholism for all my adult life and profoundly regret my horrific relapse," Gibson said yesterday.

Alcoholism can be successfully battled, and I hope Gibson is up to the task.

"The Jews are responsible for all the war in the world"

Gibson's irrational and demented world view will be a far more difficult demon to slay.

I think he was upset because of the wars in Lebanon/Iraq.

Prayers for him.

I read the statement today by the ADL that pretty much said Gibson was a bigot and they do not accept his apology etc ect....My own take on this, is although he may be anti-semitic, I think his statements while drunk were more of him being self destructive than anti-semitic. I mean what is the worst possible thing he could say to destroy his career? And before he said that, he first said "my life is f***ed". The dude has a major drinking problem, and I think before the ADL condemns him, they should issue statements first about Hillary Clinton who they seem to have no problem ignoring everytime her anti-semitic issues come up.

"In wine there is truth."

Sad to say, but I believe Mel just said what he really believed all along. I trully pray he can get back on the wagon. However, I'm afraid his credibility is somewhat at question now.

What followed will cast a shadow over the remainder of the American-born, Australian-raised Gibson's career as one of Hollywood's most admired and bankable actors, directors and producers.

So, if he drove off a bridge and killed a young woman, he would have a viable career as a Mass. Senator?

Somebody needs to thwack Mel Gibson with a Romans 11 stick.

A BIG one.

I'm very sad and disappointed to hear such utter bile from him. Jewish leaders spount nonsense regarding "Passion," and this kind of garbage feeds into paranoia and gives it a hand-hold.

He's still got more to apologize for.

partially released on the entertainment news website TMZ.com, and confirmed by an industry reporter and The Washington Post

Are we all to believe these excellent sources? LOL.

Mel was drunk and said some stuff. We don't know what. Yet FR will continue to debate the topic ad nauseum. Ick.

I wouldn't doubt Mel Gibson has a bit of a chip on his shoulder regarding Jews after their treatment towards him and his movie. I'm sure he regrets the incident. Poor example to be sure but I still admire him alot.
BTW--I believe hitlery made this same charge against Jews and it was conveniently overlooked as not a big deal when she said it.
I suppose the double standard once again applies tho.

Is this the entire article? Where, specifically does Gibson apologize for his antisemitic remarks?

As a Jew I saw his movie on Christ's Death and thought it was pretty good.

I though his portrayal of my people was a little over the top but always said to myself, "That's Hollywood".

WRONG!!!!!!!!

Gibson should to something proactive to right the balance w/r/t Israel. He should make a movie that memorializes the Israel struggle in the modern era.
