Let me think ... why would Gibson refuse to allow the ADL to see an advance screening of the movie?

Maybe because they stole a draft copy of his script and began running hit-pieces about the movie way back when?

Maybe because they've been attacking Gibson regularly since learning of the project?

Maybe because the ADL's record on responsibility in leveling accusations of anti-semitism against anyone who doesn't toe their party line is second only to that of the little boy of wolf-crying fame?

Or maybe just because it's his movie and he can show it to anyone he wants.

Rich is absolutely mendacious when he states that Drudge, whom he calls a "token Jew," is the only Jewish person who's seen the movie or spoken out in its favor. What about Michael Medved, Dennis Prager...? The ADL and Frank Rich are acting as a militant secularists and left-wing provocateurs in this matter, not as agents trying to advance the welfare of Jewish Americans, and their charges of "Jew-baiting" and "anti-Semitism" are just a politically correct smokescreen for their true radical agenda.

It's because if they demanded he changed it, and he refused, voila! Instant anti-Semite, just add publicity!

It's unfortunate that the Simon Wiesenthal Center in LA is involved in this controversy. They should stick with holocaust studies and cease attacking Mel Gibson.
