Mel Gibson's Anti-Semitic Views Go Deeper Than You Think, But Is He Right?

 
The shocking truth about, and behind Mel Gibson's Anti-Semitic comments are deeper than most people think.

August 2nd, 2006 - First it was the controversial film "Passion Of The Christ", then it was Gibson's father, now it's a drunken rant that set off accusations of Anti-Semitism.  After this last slip up

Gibson asked for forgiveness and for help with his alcohol problem and the Jewish community accepted the apology.  It was just a slip of the tongue during an alcoholic haze, and after all, Mel Gibson is an actor and we all know that those Hollywood folks are nuts right?  But wait, there's actually much more to this story than most people know.

A couple of years ago Gibson gave an interview to Reader's Digest, Gibson's comments may shock you.  On the issue of the holocaust Gibson commented “I mean when the war was over they said it was 12 million. Then it was six. Now it’s four. I mean it’s that kind of numbers game."  Going on to say that he didn't agree with his father who believed the holocaust didn't happen, just maybe not quite as many as was said.

Gibson later went on to say “The Second World War killed tens of millions of people. Some of them were Jews in concentration camps. Many people lost their lives. In the Ukraine, several million starved to death between 1932 and 1933. During the last century, 20 million people died in the Soviet Union.”  However in regards to the accusations that Gibson is Anti-Semitic the actor said “Nobody wants to have their name, you know, besmirched on the front of newspapers and people say wicked things about them and their family and call them all sorts of names, accuse them of being anti-Semitic and everything else. I mean that’s not part of my design. I don’t enjoy experiencing that. That’s just coming from some place that I have no control over.”


After this latest blunder Gibson came out to apologize the the Jewish community stating “There is no excuse, nor should there be any tolerance, for anyone who thinks or expresses any kind of anti-Semitic remark.”  He continued, in part: “I want to apologize specifically to everyone in the Jewish community for the vitriolic and harmful words that I said to a law enforcement officer the night I was arrested on a D.U.I. charge. I am a public person, and when I say something, either articulated and thought out, or blurted out in a moment of insanity, my words carry weight in the public arena.”  Mr. Gibson went on to say he wished “to take it one step further, and meet with Jewish leaders” for a “one-on-one discussion.” 
 
This is finally an apology,” said Abraham H. Foxman, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League. “We’re glad that he owned up that what he said was not only offensive, but bigoted. When he’s finished with alcohol rehabilitation, we will be ready and willing to meet with him and to help him get rid of his other addiction, which is prejudice.”

Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center here, also offered to meet with Mr. Gibson, but cautioned in a statement that, like substance abuse and alcoholism, anti-Semitism “cannot be cured in one day and certainly not through a press release.”

So what exactly did Mel Gibson say that got him in so much trouble this time?  The sheriff’s report, carried on TMZ.com, a Web site owned by Time Warner, said Mr. Gibson had demanded to know if the officer, James Mee, was a Jew. During an obscenity-laced tirade, according to the report, Mr. Gibson also said “the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.”  Obviously this is a shocking statement and in the highly electrified atmosphere of political correctness that envelopes us today makes this short of a capitol offense.

how to play poker Many in the media are now touting the end of Gibson's career and portraying the actor as a drunken lunatic so I would like to try and balance this story out and play devil's advocate.  It always amazes me how our society today has come to a point where we have freedom of speech and freedom of religion, as long as other people agree with you.  Even more amazing is that it almost always seems that the people that cry out for action against someone that says something un-PC are the first to say they advocate freedom of speech.  What would Mr. Foxman or Rabbi Hier have to say if instead of Gibson stating what he did, it was Cindy Sheehan stating that President Bush is responsible for all of the wars in the world? Yes there is a double standard, however I know that some of you reading this right now are thinking "But Bush IS responsible!"  Actually I will give you that the Bush administration is responsible for the Iraq war so there is a little truth to that, but that's only one war, what about the others?
Let's be real here and call a spade a spade, we'll call the rest of this story the "No PC Zone" if we can shamelessly rip of Bill O'Reily.  Any war in the middle east right now is indeed a result of the very existence of Israel either directly or indirectly.  Obviously we'll start with the war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, Jews are directly responsible.  The growing threat for Iran and Syria also directly related to the existence of Israel making the Jews directly responsible.  What fueled Sadam Husein was the existence of Israel and was a direct threat to Israel and a major part of the United States going to war with Sadam Husein was to help protect Israel from this growing threat so we'll give this one a indirectly responsible tag. texas holdem

Now finally the BIGGEST war that directly affects the United States is the total "War On Terror", so why exactly are these terrorists running around and blowing themselves up and crashing jets into the world trade center and pentagon?  Is it because they don't like George Bush's hair cut?  Maybe they're just irritable because it's so hot in the middle east and sand gets in their underwear.  Wait, I remember now, they're upset that the Palestinian land was taken over by the Jews to create Israel, making the Jews directly responsible for the war on terror.  Yes there are other factors in play here besides the simple existence of Israel but I don't believe that the other factors would be enough to fuel the wave of terrorists on their own with the Jewish factor.

Now I don't recall ever seeing anything claiming that Mel Gibson wanted to kill Jews, deport Jews, beat up Jews, or even say anything about Jews that wasn't based on a truth.  Yet the Jewish community chastised him, the media portrayed him as a lunatic, and the PC police would like to hang him in a public square.

In fact, I'm not sure that you could actually even say that anything Mel Gibson has said to this point is Anti-Semitic.  Sure it has to do with Jews, and obviously the Jews don't exactly like the things he says, but what has he said that is derogative to the Jewish people?  It's like saying that you're Anti-Native American if you say the Native Americans are responsible for most of the gambling in this country.  They are in fact the owners of most of the casinos outside of Las Vegas, many people don't like gambling, but nobody says the casino protesters are Anti-Native American.  The Native American people were treated just as poorly for a longer period of time than the Jews in Nazi Germany, mass extermination and mass exodus was the norm for hundreds of years for the Native Americans.  It's the same as what I said earlier, there is a clear double standard in this country.

On this note I would like to throw one more piece of information that many people are unaware of.  The Jewish people themselves have done the exact same thing to other races that the Nazi's did to them.  Surprised?  Most people are, in fact you are thinking to yourself right now that this is garbage and there is no truth to this at all aren't you?  It's actually and easy thing to prove and verify, simply pick up your bible and go to the old testament, now flip to the book of Joshua.  Ever hear the story of the battle of Jericho?  There's even a little song I learned in Sunday school as a kid about this battle that now knowing what I know seems kind of sick in a sense.

You see the Hebrew people believed that God had promised them the land of Israel, however Israel did not yet exist.  In the "promised land" there lived a people called the Canaanites, Joshua being the military leader after the death of Moses needed to conquer the land of Canaan for "living space" for the Jewish people, after all, the Jews had the divine right to expand their border for more "living space" for his people.

online poker So how does Joshua deal with these pesky Canaanites that are breathing up all of the Jew's promised air and fill up all of their promised space?  Well you could call it a few different things but the word I like to use is "GENOCIDE".  Keep reading in your bible to where the Jews are about to attack Jericho, as we all know the Hebrew army marches around the city with the ark of the covenant blowing trumpets until the walls fell.  The order Joshua gives to his army is to leave no breathing thing, men, women, and children are all put to the sword to make room for his race.  Hitler often said that the German people had the right to conquer it's neighbors to make room for German "living space".

Now as you see in your bible what I just told you is fact,

it's a written record recorded by the Jewish people themselves, but knowing the kind of world we live in today I know that even though what I just said is fact, it will be considered Anti-Semitic.  Just like Mel Gibson's comments are getting him labeled an Anti-Semite. 

I personally don't feel that I am an Anti-Semite, I don't wish any harm on the Jewish people, I actually support them in the war against Hezbollah, I believe that Israel has the right to exist, and I respect the Jewish people's tenacity in their struggle to survive.  One of the greatest scientists to ever live was Albert Einstein who was a Jew, and both Christianity and Islam are derived out of the Jewish faith.  Now once this article is read by Jewish people I'm sure that I will receive some hate mail, and I'm sure that there will be many calls for me to apologize just like Mel Gibson did.  But I personally don't believe in apologizing for saying things that are true, even if someone else doesn't like what I said.  If someone finds a fault in the accuracy of this article I will apologize in an instant, but only if anything I said was false.
