THE GIBSON "THING"

I was raised by a Jewish father and a Catholic mother I know how bigoted both religions can sometimes be. I grew up hearing things like goy, chiksa, schwartza, from the Jewish end and things like wops, dagos, slants and so on from the other. But never, ever did I hear my mother or any Catholics say the Jews killed Jesus The article in today's New York Times that clearly says that the Jews in Hollywood will blacklist Mel Gibson doesn't surprise me at all. Far too many Jews don't like Christians and fear them. They will do whatever it takes to "teach Gibson a lesson" and let anyone else who does a serious Christian movie that they won't work either. When I was a very young actor I met a Persian (Iranian) actor at a party who said he was changing his name to a Spanish name so he could get work, that the Jews wouldn't hire him. He changed it and worked for twenty years. I'm fairly well versed in not only scripture but the Dead Sea Scrolls as well and I'll only comment here that the powerful Jews (Pharisees, Sadducees) turned Jesus over to the Romans because he was a threat to their power. Jesus was a political figure who wanted to join Jews and Gentiles into a movement to overthrow Rome by force. The Romans wanted him dead and the other powerful Jews wanted him dead too. That was two thousand years ago for Christ sakes. What kind of idiot would blame Murray the butcher for the death of Jesus 2,000 years ago? The problem is that lots of Jews don't like Christians in any form other than docile and under the rug and Christians have been in hiding for at least twenty years. This movie may bring Christians out of the closet. One of the really good things that might happen is that a truthful story of Mary Magdalene might be told. She was a really powerful person. She is currently portrayed as a feminist, another liberal, possibly a lesbian, the bride of Jesus, and so on. In fact she was the most powerful of the followers of Jesus and was a potent force. A sanitized feminist version is surely in the works partly inspired by the scholarly inept DiVinci Code and the current fad super-feminst "expert",
Barbara Thiering. Try The Cult of the Black Virgin, The Gnositc Gosples, and a few other pre-feminist pre lesbian "scholars" looks. Another view of the Gibson movie with an interesting take is HERE.
