Mel Gibson should say which number he prefers so the focus can be on the movie, not his father.

There's absolutely no reason for Mel to even address this question. It's completely asinine! This is not a movie about the Holocaust, it's not a movie about the Nazis, it's not a movie even about the Jewish faith (although that certainly plays a part). It's a movie about Jesus Christ. Period.

There has been absolutely no credible criticism of anti-semitism, no credible accusation of denying the Holocaust (we're talking about Mel, here, remember), and absolutely no reason the question should ever be asked in the first place.

The only criticism has come from secular (mainly) Jews who have an agenda, and is based on absolutely nothing. I have read many, many reviews written by religious Jews who have no problems with the movie and have said that there is no anti-semitism in the movie. I have seen countless reviews by Christians, and even non-Christians who have stated unequivically that there is no anti-semitism in the movie.

Unreal!

Untrue. Peggy Noonan asked the question.
