Boo hoo poor Mel. The "Hollywood elite" didn't swallow his film whole, and "they" are out to get him, hence his tirade.
You don't wake up one day "frustrated" by the world, wanting to "fix" it, and suddenly become in the process a raving Jewhater.
It's very clear that he adopted his father's views, probably has since his boyhood. He didn't make a film that was rejected by "the elites", and therefore adopt anti-semitic attitudes, he made an anti-semitic film and now confirms, in his drunken stupor, that his attitude toward Jews animates his version of Christianity.
He not alone in his Jewhatred, btw. Tony Kushner, who wrote "Munich" is a Jewish Mel Gibson as far as I am concerned. So we're getting it from all sides these days.
It never stops, merely ebbs and flows, is more or less visible.
It will be alright.
That's the real issue here. An opportunity--a stick to beat those who found the film monumental, albeit difficult, important, and transcendent. The man is disgraced, therefore his work shall be disgraced. Wishful thinking. Cecil B Demille wasn't a saint, either.
The fewer allies Israel has, the more determined American Jews are to drive them away.
Considering the roiling antisemitism--the serious, dangerous kind, rather than a drunken, vulgar outburst--in this world today, including a recent murdr in Seattle, it's nice to have something personal and spiteful to focus on, isn't it? Like a good ole snarky "I told you so."
Mel gibson never publicly refutted his father's claims that the Holocaust never happened, and made a movie that almost completely left out the role of the Romans in the death of Jesus.
I don't understand why anyone here so surprised he's an anti-Semite.
