"There is no mention of any of them in the Old Testament or the Torah."

Mr. Gibson,

I am quite shocked that you, as a Jew, would refer to "the Old Testament."

The concept of "Old" and "New" Testaments is a Christan construct that was created to delegitimaize Judaism in the sense that the "New Testament" has superceded the "Old Testament," the books that Jews know as the Tanach (Torah, Neveim, Chetuvim).

A Jewish person does not delegitimate Judaidm by refering to the Tanach as the the "Old Testament."

Based on the totality of your writing in this forum, I must conclude that you are, in fact, an anti-Semite seeking to discredit Jewish people and Judaism via expressions of bigotry that some ignorant people might take to be typical of Jews.

Shame on you.
