So, you are in support of extending guilt down family lines. Guilt through the generations. Mel's father's guilt becomes Mel's responsibility. All I'm asking is that Mel be forthright about telling us how his beliefs differ from his father's. This has nothing to do with generational guilt, but direct parental influence.

He has stated outright, on dozens of occassions, that he's not an anti-semite. Many Jews he knows personally have come forward and said he has never behaved in such a manner his entire life. He has, COUNTLESS times, stated outright that anti-semitism is absolutely and utterly against the precepts of his faith.
But that's not enough? You require that he publically condemn his own father?
I can tell you one thing. My father could have done the nastiest, most repugnant thing in the world, and you could go pound sand for the rest of your life before you'd ever bully me into getting up in public and condemn him.
You're demanding that he create a rift with his father, to attack him in public. By stating his outright opposition to anti-semitism in no uncertain terms, he's satisfied any legitimate requirements you can make of him. Period.
