That's because they won't let the ADL see the movie. The script got out, people got outraged, but only invited folks get to see the film. If it weren't particularly anti semetic, wouldn't the filmakers have let a few Jews see it to tell everyone else it wasn't so bad?

Well, I don't think Mel Gibson wanted anyone to see it until the story was complete, because obviously things can be misconstrued easily when you only get one side of the story.

I mean, <a href=http://board.yourmomsbox.net/viewthread.php?tid=1341 target=new>it's been argued in another thread</a>, the Jews are upset because they're being portrayed as the villians here (in addition to the Roman Empire). Well you know what? As far as Christianity is concerend, 2,000+ years ago, Jews <i>were</i> the villian, so accept it and move on. It happened, and future Christians were victimized through systematic persecution... same as the Holocuast, when the Jews were the victims... same as the four separate Crusades, when the Muslims were the victims... same as the European dominance of the Orient, when Buddhism and Shintoism were nearly quashed by Christian missionaries.

The fact is, throughout history, <b>EVERY</b> religion at some point or another has been persecuted, victimized, or played the role of villian by attacking those of another religion-- and some would argue that current events dictate just that. Why should Jews try and hog the "oh, woe is us" feeling to themselves? It often seems as if they want to be acknowledged as the world's resident chewtoy, when that is simply not the case.
