How is his behaviour in that regard any different to someone that we see down the street?
How many times have you seen couples feuding in the mall? How many times have you heard them utter death threats to each other? What's the point of pointing the finger solely at him when society in general is plagued with the same behaviour? That's a whole lot of generalising and isn't a good thing to do. Besides, according to modern thinking (which I don't follow, but I know quite a few people that do), everything (including morality) is relative, so why should people get angry at his racist comments? Who has the right to define what is and isn't racist? Who has the right to say that how he treated his girlfriend was wrong? (Disclaimer: This was just written to make a point. It wasn't written to attack you personally.)
You say that he makes borderline propaganda films. How many films have you seen over the years that have blatantly put forward an idea, ideology, etc? The answer would honestly have to be thousands. You could say that Hollywood itself is a propaganda machine, in a way. Since when is what he is doing any different? Yes, he's trying to make money from what you would call propaganda, but Hollywood has been doing that since day dot. If you have an issue with that, you have an issue with Hollywood as a whole, not just with him.

Interesting piece of trivia there. Thanks for that. Yes, I wonder how it's going to be told. {nm} Sep 08, 18:19
It is not trivia. Not sure where that came from. Not the case. {nm} Sep 08, 21:31
There I go for just accepting something at face value... *facepalm* {nm} Sep 08, 21:32
For clarity, what aspect of Jesus calling it "trivia" are you objecting to? {nm} Sep 08, 22:53
If Gibson's heavily involved, I can't imagine the telling being anything that could be perceived as anti-Semitic. Sep 08, 18:22
Where he is one of the ones slaughtered by the Romans? :P {nm} Sep 08, 20:24
Does Mel even have "people" anymore? {nm} Sep 08, 22:55
Dude, that's ridiculous. There is no truth to that. {nm} Sep 08, 21:30
I won't pay for a Gibson film, but can't wait for the Tourette-like outtakes layered with Eszterhaus' literary flourishes{nm} Sep 08, 19:34
Personally I don't really care what he does in his personal life. Sep 08, 20:06
if he would hate christians and not jews, i dont think you would feel the same way {nm} Sep 08, 20:57
its more than saying jews start all the wars, but I appreciate your point {nm} Sep 08, 21:17
I met Mel a good number of times years ago when I was in marketing and we did work for his films. All I can say is.. Sep 09, 01:31
How is his behaviour in that regard any different to someone that we see down the street? Sep 08, 23:17
The Passion is a masterpiece. It is also an openly antisemitic film. Sep 09, 00:34
I really wish this were an Onion headline. As an MOT, I'm highly offended. {nm} Sep 08, 21:03
