Jesus was a Jew
So were all the apostles. So were the crowds in Jerusalem that supposedly condemned him, and so were all the early Christian martyrs. The only ones who weren't were the Romans who actually carried out the crucifixion (a traditional Roman punishment).
All of this blaming "the Jews" for Christ's death was a convenient ploy by the Catholic church to alleviate the blame that Rome held in this event.
To those that see the reaction of the anti-defamation league as being harsh, try to exercise some Christian compassion and realize that 2000 years of genocide and oppression might make a group over-sensitive.
Gibson should come out and say " the holocaust DID happen and this film is in no way an indictment against Jews" . Jews are my brothers (and sisters) and I love them.
Actually Gibson looks a little Jewish, doesn't he?
