New York, NY, February 18, 2010 … Contrary to misleading assertions that appear on the official website of the 2010 Oberammergau Passion Play and in subsequent erroneous media reports, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the American Jewish Committee (AJC) categorically state that they have not endorsed or approved the 2010 German production.
ADL and AJC are asking play officials to remove the names of their respective organizations and the names of their organizations' representatives from the official Oberammergau website and all Oberammergau press releases.
In a joint statement, Rabbi Eric Greenberg, ADL Director of the Department of Interfaith Affairs; Rabbi Noam Marans, AJC's Associate Director of Interreligious and Intergroup Relations; and Rabbi James Rudin, AJC's Senior Interreligious Adviser, said:

I can’t friggin’ believe this.
The muzzies will be piling them onto the boxcars and herding them into the ravine and they’ll be complaining about a crucifix in a shop window.
I was thinking of whether I should mention that nobody’s asked me whether I’ve approved of the Talmud yet, but I decided not to mention it.
People who object to the Passion, just because of the sins of the Pharisees and the Scribes, are in need of an exorcism. I’M SO TIRED OF YOU LIBERAL AMERICA. YOU MAKE ME SICK!
Two thousand years later and the Jewish leaders still hate Jesus. Some things never change.
But not all Jewish leaders hate Jesus.
Michael Medved has often observed that actual, practicing Jews get along quite well with Christians.
It’s the liberal, ACLU, NYT types whose sole measure of Judaism is keeping kosher and worshiping the Holocaust who go looking for fights while ignoring the real threats.
That seems a rather indiscriminate use of the word “hate.”
How so?
There’s a real hatred for Catholics and Protestants among the Jewish people. Not all Jews of course hate Christians obviously, but there’s racists in every group. Foxman is just simply an inherent racist. Pure and simple.
How would you like it if someone went up to you said that “Christians hate Jews”?
but yet you said,
“Two thousand years later and the Jewish leaders still hate Jesus. Some things never change.”
Not to be confused with the ObamaWow! passion play, slated to resume on February 25, in which a messianic leader (worshipped by millions!) convinces many of his most faithful disciples to sacrifice themselves in pursuit of government-run health care.
R-rated for its graphic depiction of the dramatic ending (in which these true believers literally toss themselves off a mile-high cliff on the naive hope their leader would ensure their safe landing) and the bloody carnage that ensued, ObamaWow! is a poignant reminder of the foolishness of putting our faith in false idols who promise to deliver us something for nothing.
Do you not see the words, Jewish leaders? I do not understand what your complaint is.
It isn’t their religion and they should butt out... We don’t tell them when to celebrate Passover.
you said,
“Two thousand years later and the Jewish leaders still hate Jesus. Some things never change.”
i said,
“But not all Jewish leaders hate Jesus.”
yet you said,
“Do you not see the words, Jewish leaders? I do not understand what your complaint is.”
It seems like you made the accusation that I accused you of hating all Jews. I never said that. Seems like you’re dancing around the issue.
If you had said "some" Jewish leaders, evidence would be plentiful. But "the" Jewish leaders denotes a general hatred of Jesus universally present in Jewish leadership, and that is not true.
Nonacceptance of Jesus as the Messiah of Israel: yes.
Nonbelief in Jesus as the only-begotten Son of God, one in being with the Father: yes.
But hatred? No.
Pontius Pilate said that he found no cause of death in this man, Jesus of Nazareth, but the “leaders” of the Jews snookered him into agreeing with them that Jesus must die, on the pretext that Jesus claimed to be a king. Allowing him to get away with that would be construed by the Jewish leaders as insulting the Roman Emperor, and put Pilate at risk for arrest and execution. Ergo, in self defense Pilate sent Jesus to the cross, even though under Roman law there was not reason to do so.
So, who was responsible, ultimately, for Jesus being put to death?
