I asked a simple question, whether Liz had seen the movie yet.

I am very grateful for the support of Christian Zionists, and I am very aware of all the organizations that support Israel and Jews.

One thing has nothing to do with the other.

The fact is that some reviewers, NOT JEWISH, have found fault with Mel Gibson, and the manner in which he has promoted his film. Will they too be branded as anti-Christian for commenting on this angle of the movie, or on the movie itself? Is Mel Gibson now innoculated against any criticism?

And is it possible that people could be naive enough to believe that Gibson has not set out the strategy himself, to create controversy in order to generate interest and box office?

Mel Gibson didn't ask Abe Foxman & his hate-filled gangsters to bad mouth his film (and his father). I guess that was Gibson's strategy. /sarcasm

Have you seen the movie?

I can tell how much you appreciate the support by taking every chance you get to make allegations and innuendo about this movie. Why are you so against this movie? Do you really think that Christian people are going to walk out of this movie hating Jews? If you do, I think you are a bit nieve.

Of course they will. Besides, just like anti-Semitism, it isn't mere fault-finding, but the nature of those perceived faults that is so bothersome.

And is it similarly not possible that Gibson has done this as a combination of his Christian faith and his artistic sensibilities?
