A prominent Jewish leader on Friday asked actor Mel Gibson (news) to make certain that his new film on the last 12 hours in the life of Christ does not portray the Jews as collectively responsible for the crucifixion.

Jesus WAS a JEW you moron.. Is this guy suggesting Jesus committed suicide? Because that's the only way his comment makes any sense.

It was the Pharasees who plotted against him.

It was Jewish religious leaders who saw him as a threat..

Nothing more, and certainly not a sight against Jew's in general because Jesus was one himself.

No, He is remember that for hundreds of years Jews have been killed by religious bigots who blamed the Jews for Killing Jesus. It's the historic excuse for killing and oppressing jews. The Rabbi is just asking Mel to be Aware of it when he makes the film.

Who Killed Jesus? John 10:17-18

"Jesus WAS a JEW,,,,,"

Not only was Jesus a Jew, so were all the other players except the governmental authorities.

The disciples were Benjamites (but because their tribe was made part of the Kingdom of Judah they are Jews as to national name). [In fact, Jerusalem was not in the territory of Judah but in the land allotted to Benjamin.]

The sole exception among the disciples was Judas who was a Jew (of the tribe of Judah and the KINGDOM of Judah). I am wondering who is going to begin the notion that he was actually of Emphraim,Gad,Simeon,Reuben, Dan or any of the other ten tribes (which constituted the Kingdom of Israel, a completely different nation than the Kingdom of Judah).

This episode causes me to wonder whether these are the same sources which have beleaguered Gibson in the media and his family as well. I do hope he has the courage to go on. It is his integrity which seems to have been put at stake here.

Since we have the writings of multiple contemporaries as historical evidence of what happened, one wonders what kind of revisionist history is being called for.
