47. BeBe, why should American care about the anti-semitic remarks made by others while we have so much things to resolve: undocumented workers, healthcare, terrorist threat. Just hope Jews pay more attention to American then Israel, anyway you are American

48. Peter you are right. I find it very disturbing to see the Jew Americans sending their children back to Israel when the current MiddleEst conflict just brokeup. Are they American? Why Jews pay so much attention to Israel?

52. At least the guy admitted what he did was really wrong, give him a break! He could be denying it like mad, even in the face of the evidence (Clinton comes to mind, yes?). But NOOOO! He said he blew it, he disgaced himself, and asked for help from Jewish community with the seeds of dumb ideas his dad probably sowed in him, and where's the help? Forgiveness was a JEWISH requirement by God before it was a Christian one. So where is it????? HUH?!? This is a great opportunity for the Jewish Community to show the higher way to others, especially REAL anti-semetic bastards, and nobody's showing up. AT first I was dissappointed in Mel for having ranted. But now that he has debased himself in apologies, I'm disappointed in the Jewish leaders who aren't helping someone out of ignorance who has ASKED for it!

53. Enough already!! So what's the big deal if mel doesn't like Jews? Who cares? Lot's of people of varying religous backgrounds don't like people of other religions. And why is it that Jews have their own word for people who don't like them?(anti-semitic) Maybe I'm just ignorant but are there special words for people who dislike or disagree with other religons? I can't think of one. What makes jewish people so special? As much as everyone hates to admit it, there is some truth to what he said. Most of the turmoil in the world is rooted to Israel, in one way or another. OOOOHHH

54. I'm not Jewish, but I AM FED UP WITH SPIN. If some of us seem gleeful about Gibson's recent "fall from grace" (and I am) it's not personal--I could care less about his drinking, his career., or him for that matter. I'm just sick of living in a nation where black is called white on a daily basis (especially by people in the so-called "no spin zone"). It took an alcoholic binge to reveal the truth, but the cards are on the table. Let's call a spade a spade, and an anti-semite an anti-semite. Then we can have a discussion.

55. If those Jewish People love Israel so much, they should move there, and take their movies with them. Those Israeli politicians will burn down a few hundred Arab homes and kill a few hundred Abarbs to make room for them like they have been doing since 1947.

57. . Gibson after having a leading veternarian exam him...was found not to be suffering at all from anything!!!!! what caused his utterings was indeed a backup of GAS that could not escape his butt....henceforth all that presure came out the wrong end.......Gibsons lawyers state that this was all due to tainted water from the bar he was at...they deny that any words were at all anti-semetic in nature....it just sounded that way....everything will come out in court .literally LOL...I suggest everyone wear a Hazmat suit ...they said after a few days of gibson grazing in the outback he seems to be doing better.....numerous reports of scared dingos running for their lives are not true his lawyers say!!!!!
its amazing what a few high powered lawyers can say to make things so clear LOL.....the hezbollah offered to take a shot at him if he was to visit Israel...saying they want peace LOL...now who can we really beleive in all this....while Mel was reputed to seek out the Law firm of DEWY SCEWUM AND HOWE..he decided to go ahead with a hollywood group.....we all know that nothing is going to happen to MEL the MOUTH GIBSON....as it will be a KANGEROO COURT...
MEL THE MOUTH GIBSON has said he will not be the lead singer of the NEW DINGO foaming at the MOUTH ROCK GROUP of the OUTBACK...
but Mel said he will consider BAREBACK KANGEROO RACING a possibilitee..he said he has nothing against them....

58. If Mel Gibson wasn't famous, no one would care what
he said, when stopped by a Police Officer. Whether
a person, is famous or not, it's really no ones business
what they think or say, in PRIVATE. I don't care if it's
recorded, or said to another person, it's their business
and no one elses. The FBI, The President, can record
anything they want, but it's private, and should be kept
that way, instead, they use it against the person, if they
want to cause them problems. This should stop.
Someone just wants to bring Mel Gibson down, and
he has a problem, and they are using it. He didn't go
on National TV and say these things, so it's no ones
business what he said. It's very well known he has
a drinking problem. It's time, people stop using, what
people say against them. Stop calling them names,
and labeling them. Bigot, racist== that's just what they
are doing, when they call people this. People that
label people with these names, should be looked at.
Which, brings me to these news people that say, oh, but
they are suppose to be role models. Grow Up! Everyone
was put on this earth to be a example, in one way or
another. Mel is showing kids and grown ups, how not to
be as a person. If you have a problem, get help.
But, some people have deep problems, and getting help,
isn't helping. Marie Osmond, you can tell, she has alot on
her. She had too many kids. She was trying to be like her
mother. Women, need to wake up, 1 or 2 children may be
all you can handle. Children need alot of care and time,
and women that choose to work, can't take proper care, of
10 kids, or so. Having maids, and nanny's don't count. You
see these women, that say, they have it all, 1 or 2 nanny's
are mentioned. They don't have it all, who's raising their
children? I had to work, and had to help support my parents.
I see my son needed me.
Last and Least, no one cares if Star is getting a divorce.
Everyone was glad when she was fired from the View. We
were hoping she would take that show with her.

59. who's the bigot here? Mel said one thing in a drunk stupor and he's being crucified, degraded and called a "nazi" by jewish people and they refuse for forgive him. How come you never did thid to jesse jackson when he referred to NY as Hymie Town? Joyce Behar is ass kissing Barbara Walters, and hollywood is blackballing him. You are the bigots. You won't let this go. The man is truly sorry and you won't let it go. stop feeling sorry for yourselves. There are more things to worry about in this world. THE MAN MADE A MISTAKE

60. Any condemnation of "the Jews" as "Christ-killers" reveals a common ignorance of Roman first century Judea. Jerusalem was part of the Roman Empire of Jesus' time, and no king ruled there except as an extension of Roman authority. King Herod had Roman approval; Jesus did not. It is true that some Jews had become Roman operatives, particularly among the Temple High Priesthood, and that some of these dignitaries were jealous of Jesus' huge pupularity. (According to the record Jesus was immensely popular and by no means rejected by the masses of his people.) But this is not the crux of the matter (pun not intended).

When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, in the tradition of his ancestor, King David, he was acclaimed as king by his fellow Jews. This act was in-your-face contempt for Roman authority. He was declaring his willingness to be their king, and they hailed him with enthusiastic abandon. Look it up; it's no secret. Christianity refers to the event as "Palm Sunday." In fact it was open sedition and neither Pilate nor Herod had any choice but to crucify him, as crucifixion was the official punishment for sedition. Jesus had openly and knowingly defied Rome. It was a calculated move. No kangaroo court was necessary for his conviction. Whether or not any of the extra events leading to the crucifixion happened, Jesus had nonetheless taken a step for which there was no remedy other than death by crucifixion. He had done something equivalent to running threateningly toward a SWAT team with a loaded weapon in hand. It boils down to this: "the Jews" didn't kill Jesus; Imperial Rome did -- because Jesus, by his own very open and public actions, made his execution inevitable.

Mel Gibson missed this point in his Passion movie because the fact isn't in the public eye and hasn't been taught in the churches -- but it is most certainly in the New Testament.

I submit this observation in hope that it will somehow reach Mr. Gibson. He seems to me to be deeply sincere, but sincerely misled in the matter of Jesus' crucifixion. Perhaps this is why he is torn over the matter of Jewish influence in the world. He loves the Jews he knows; and he believes the common errors about Jesus that are typically accepted in Christianity. Ne'er shall the twain meet. The story has been skewed so long that the distortion is accepted as the way it really happened. Perhaps this short note will help to clear up part of the misunderstanding.
