Thread Name: BS: Mel Gibson and his father, Hutton Gibson
Subject: RE: BS: Mel Gibson and his father, Hutton Gibson
There is nothing in the New York Times article to indicate antisemitism on Mr. Gibson's part. You are entitled to your opinion about his movies. Guest "Max" What stake exactly do Jews have in a depiction of Jesus? Everything that Gibson has said he intends to depict can be supported in the Gospels. He said that jews might be upset, only in answer to a leading and inflamitory question. Every movie that is made upsets someone. There is nothing wrong or particularly inflamitory about the proposed movie.

Also the writer of the article takes care not to equate Hutton's conspiracy theory with Mel's beliefs. It is unfair to condemn Gibson forhis father's opinions, unless he publicly agrees with or supports them.

BTW
Thanks for the article. It was an interesting read.
