I disagree. Gibson’s work was brilliant, regardless of what he said in a drunken (and I think manic) rage. I believe in forgiveness and would never hold anyone to what was said in that state.
First of all, Gibson was driving drunk, was arrested and therefore is a criminal.
Second, he publicly stated that "the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world."
Finally, I do not care how "brilliant" Mel's work may have been, he publicly outed himself as an anti-Semite.
And as an Catholic, an American, a husband of a Jewish woman and father of Jewish children, I can have no respect for a man who spews such hate.
