I saw Foxman on C-span this morning (missed part of it) and he brought up "The Passion of the Christ"---he said he held no hard feelings for Mel Gibson, but still feels that the movie added to the anti-semitism...

I am not Jewish, so I can't know, but just from what I have seen and read, I thought it was more the other way---that Christians came out of the movie with more of an idea of what happened and why---

I could be wrong, and anyone here on FR, feel free to let me know how I have misread it...ok?

Let's get down to basics, Txsleuth. Jesus was born Jewish, and the Bible that Christians read was written by Jews. A Christian anti-semite should be the prime example of an oxymoron.

But the Abe Foxmans and the David Dukes of this world have their own paranoias and agendas.

It was a young Jewish man at Free Republic who won the day on the "Passion of the Christ" issue in my opinion. But then, should any of us be surprised?
