Unfortunately, opposition to this film may create much more anti-Semitism than any film could ever cause.

How, Father? And why?

Retribution? No, this cannot be: nothing Fox says about the movie is anti-Christian, so retribution to what?

I am afraid, Father, you have sinned...

I'd say it's pretty anti-Christian for Foxman to slander Gibson as an anti-Semite for making a movie true to the Gospels.

Frankly, I can't figure out why Foxman is going after Gibson like this, unless he figured that if he hit Gibson early and often no one would go to see his movie. Instead, in reaction to his attacks, Gibson started marketing the film to Christian groups, creating unprecedented interest in seeing the film. As a couple of columnists have recently pointed out, if the purpose of Foxman's attacks was to squash the film, he's managed to do exactly the opposite. On the other hand, maybe I'm giving Foxman too much credit. Maybe the purpose of attacking Gibson is to spur frantic donations to the ADL, which this film has certainly done.

Oh right. Skin heads, Democrats, Muslims and morons in Europe will become MORE anti-semitic because of this movie!

What a joke!

Foxman's real opposition is to the Gospels. Talk about chutzpah. Can you imagine anything more incediary than a group of people from one religion telling another group of people from another religion what they must and must not believe? I'm appalled--and stunned--by the arrogance of such people. How can this not arouse resentment?

True. It seems that antisemitism is the grease that oils the ADL coffers. It is important to the ADL for this movie to be anti semetic.
