Are you serious? I hope not! My father was a victim of Jew-hatred during Holy Week and was routinely called a Christ killer and assaulted. Does this ring a bell to you?
Yes I'm serious. How many derogatory names on top of Anti-semite was Mel called because he made a film?
I could see where all of the negativity around that could manifest itself into something ugly, if he didn't believe it before.
I didn't say it WAS right, I said that there was plenty of crap thrown at Mel that it could make him wonder, whether Dad was right. That's all.
