Why were the JEWS so cruel to him for making "The Passion of Christ." All he did was show what was historically proven to h ave happened.
They need to learn about a little something called FREEDOM OF SPEECH!
they give that man such a hard time with everything...he truly represents greatness.....
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT HE EVEN SAID THAT.......WERE YOU THERE?!?!?!?!?!?

Actually, he got more rap from the Catholics for making a movie that was inaccurate according to the Bible. The Jews were upset because they thought it was going to cause an outbreak of antisemitism, which is reasonable because Mel's work was based on the Passion play put out by an anti-semitic nun from a long time ago. Many Catholic officials have stood against this film as, like most of his works (even if they are amazing!), it is NOT historically accurate, and they (the Catholics) have said that it portrayed Jews in an unnecessary bad light, with which point the Jews agreed.
You say they need to learn something about freedom of speech. Obviously the movie has not been taken off the market anywhere. They have the right to speak out against his movie just as he has the right to make his movie.

Mel Gibson is not a VICTIM, he's slime. He's intolerant and the ONLY reason he made that gruesome, religiously skewed movie is that he knew darn well he would make a butt-load of money. Granted, he has every right to a crazy anti-semetic psychopath, but that doesn't make him a victim. Its sad that some one would think that someone so intolerant is a person of greatness. Might as well call Hitler a victim of circumstance too while you're at it.

Who knows what incredibly occurred with any luck for Stuart Lubbocks father will discover the solutions he's calling for, in time.

Mel Gibson completely butchered history to make that movie, like he did with "Braveheart" and "Apocalypto".
Course I'm just going by what I've read from the reviews. I refused to watch that movie because I don't give money to anti-Semites.

You call that being a "victim of circumstances"?
Mel Gibson is an anti-semite, and a complete fool.

um, Perhaps, possibly "Passion of the Christ" was an attempt to get another oscar more than the story itself? (I'm not saying he's a bad guy. I love "Lethal Weapon" and so forth.)

Mel Gibson is a chauvinistic over-breeding drunken bigot fanatic Catholic who will never get a penny out of me for any of his efforts. His movies are baned from my life

why are you so angry? Mel Gibson is a big boy and he can take care of himself even when he goes into a drunken rant. everyone has bad days...

He blamed all the problems in the world on a single group of people. That's racist, and there is no excuse for racism. Of course he has freedom of speech, that doesn't change the ethics of what he said.

He admitted to making anti-semitic remarks and apologised for it. Does that sound innocent? He's a narrow minded jerk. I lost all respect I had for him after those statements.
