Mel's lack of total repudiation of his father's remarks

He said he was in total disagreement with his father on that subject.

Would you publicly attack your aged father for his remarks, or would you?

I would attack my aged father's remarks without attacking him personally. I heard and read what Mel had to say and it was a wishy-washy repudiation to say the least. He was not in "total disagreement" as you say. Please read David From's article posted today.

No one will ever convince me what is antisemitic and what is not. I am more then qualified to judge that for myself.

I do understand how important this movie is to Christians. I can appreciate that. However, I cannot and will not overlook Gibson's failure to recognize the murder and attempted extermination of all Jews and how that is different then other "atrocities" afflicted on non Jews. The Holocaust was a singular horrific event that targeted Jews and cannot be lumped together as an equal with other tragedies. Those that do so are antisemitic in this Jew's opinion.
