As for the jewish community "thickening their skin, I think for the most part they have thick skin, it's the media which is trying to make cuts in it.
Media never makes much noise at all when Muslim Imam's, Siekhs and Mullahs call for the death of every Jew on earth, nor do they utter a peep about Islamic schools and their text books in the mid east teaching hatred against Jews, Christians, Hindu's, and the west in general.
There is a serious LACK of balance in our media, perhaps because shareholders are from Arab countries?
It fascinates me, that just as we can call the liberals godless and they just ignore that and go on about the jersey girls, but when Mel's best work about the death of the Messiah is mentioned, everyone just goes on talking about anything else.
His drinking does not negate the truth of Christianity.
Nor does avoiding the truth of facing it by idle chit chat.
If anything, this should remind us we're all sinners. We all could die any day, and we need the only Savior there is!
