[Sam Gamgee]

Are you serious? You really think the Passion has anything to do with new anti-semitism? It is not as though telling the story of Christ’s death is something new.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Yes, there were hundreds of synagogues burned in the U.S., thousands of Hassidic Jews rounded up and shot in Central Park, sermons on TV about how those Christ killers should have been exterminated in the 40's, and a complete collapse of support for Israel from the American Evangelical movement. All of Abe Foxman's predictions came through at the opening of the movie, so I have no doubt his predictions will come through now.
