I seem to recall a lot of negative commentary and analysis and obstruction as well as nasty accusations and attacks aimed at Mel by Jews during the run up to "The Passion of the Christ."

If I were attacked by a people and my greatest career achievment were attacked by that same people...I'm afraid I would feel animosity towards them...I would dislike them and I wouldn't have much nice to say about them...in fact I would probably want to say bad things about them...

In fact the reaction of many Jews to Mel and his movie struck me as very anti-catholic...is that too a bad thing or not?

Nothing so horrible as the Holocaust has happened to my family members or people...I assume if it had I would carry a grave antipathy for anyone who carried ill will toward me or mine...particulary if they had no foundation for their antipathy toward me.

Having said that Mel Gibson has plenty of reason to hold ill will towards many Jews in Hollywood... Deciding to express it to armed Jewish officers of the law while being arrested for violating the law isn't wise. Drunken driving isn't wise. Mel sure had a lapse of wisdom.

Now he needs to deal with his lapse and his anger and I for one, don't really care to hear about it anymore.

As for the Jews...they should thicken their skin and be grateful the so many of us goyim are on the side of their Israeli breathen against the Hezbos, Hamasses and Iranicals.

Good thing you weren't a Ukrainian Catholic stuck in the Holocaust in the late 20's and early 30's, or a Polish Catholic trying to hide Jewish friends and nieghbors during Hitler's rampage, the penalty if caught doing such a thing was death.

I'm alive because some of my ancestors servived that horror, the lack of serviving relatives in the Ukraine and Poland today is because many didn't servive those two bloody animals, hero's to the NYT's.

I thought something similar that this wild media frenzy coverage must have something to do with Mel thumbing his nose at H'weird and making billions of dollars with H'weird's help. He made people angry, whether they be Jews or Gentiles. They're out to destroy him because they couldn't partake of his billions. Go Mel go!
