Will You see Gibson's "The Passion"?

[Abcdxxxx]

It's a film that rejects 2000 years of historical, theological, and even archealogical progress. On top of it, their only marketing plan was to bait Jews into calling it AntiSemetic. That his Dad is heating up into full gear with his Holocaust denial business helps too.

The film takes place during a period that defined antisemetism and Blood Libels against Jews ever since. Jesus was one of MANY Jews who were oppressed for being too Jewy, for studying Torah, and for being "nationalistic" by answering to Jewish Laws above the rule of the land. As a result Jews broke into various factions to deal with the Romans. It was only a specific denomination of Jews that were involved with the crucifixions, and their role was a result of infighting and politics within the religion. None of this makes it into the Gospels, or Gibson's film, because it's too confusing, and less interesting then pornographic gore, and finger pointing. Without any real Jewish characters of substance in the film, it's unlikely this is going to do much good when it plays the Czech Republic, or Syria, or France.
