Mel Gibson didn't ask Abe Foxman & his hate-filled gangsters to bad mouth his film (and his father). I guess that was Gibson's strategy. /sarcasm
Have you seen the movie?
I can tell how much you appreciate the support by taking every chance you get to make allegations and innuendo about this movie. Why are you so against this movie? Do you really think that Christian people are going to walk out of this movie hating Jews? If you do, I think you are a bit nieve.
Others besides Abe Foxman have objected to both aspects of the movie and the manner in which Gibson has promoted it. From the get-go there were CHRISTIANS who found fault with it, yet, only the small number of Jews who sniped with Gibson have gotten press play.
The fact is that Gibson's father is out there saying things David Duke and Streicher might say, and there is no reason to ignore his rantings, just because he is Mel Gibson's father. The old man is in fact injecting himself into the debate.
I have not seen the movie and I have not opined about it, neither calling it awesome or not. I have reacted to various articles on, and what I KNOW, from my years working in Hollywood is, a very well-orchestrated and in fact brilliant PR campaign to generate interest in the film.
Is the evangelical support because it's Foxman who is griping about the film or the film's strict adherence to the scriptures?
