Gibson's dad is an anti-semitic Holocaust denier. And a purported Catholic.
And Gibson admires his dad; he said so.
It's no surprise that he harbors some of the same prejudices his dad does.
Many adults were anti-semitic during the second world war, but it doesn't necessaily follow that their children are, too. Take it from one who was there.
I haven't seen anyone talk about the point of all this. All the people who accused Gibson of his anti-semetic portrayal of Jews in THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST get to sit back and say, "I TOLD YOU SO." As a Jew, and as someone who defended Gibson, I feel a bit .... stupid.
