MEL GIBSON

 Mel Gibson’s new movie.

 

As a fellow Jew I am asking you to do the following for the reasons that I 

am going to state. Mel Gibson has a new movie coming out within he next 

week.  It is named The Edge Of Darkness.  I am asking you to not only boycott 

the movie but to forward this email to every Jew and every Jewish support 

group that you know.  If you have any contacts with any media that can put 

this to print, it would reach even more people then we can imagine. 

 

If you recall Mel’s father denies that the Holocaust ever happened.  Mel  

supports his fathers beliefs. 

 

On Ash Wednesday February 25th, 2004, the movie "Passion Of The Christ" 

opened in thousands of theaters.  Mel Gibson co-wrote, directed,and 

co-produced the movie.  Gibson also financed the $25 million it took to make the 

movie through his own company, Icon Productions.  Hollywood’s major studios 

all passed on offers to distribute the film.  New market films agreed to 

distribute it for a fee. 

 

The movie has`probably created more controversy than any other movie in 

recent years.  Some commentators have charged that the movie is Anti-Semitic 

because it blames the Jews for the death of Christ.  The film portrays Jews 

who adhere to their Jewish faith as enemies of God and the locus of evil.. 

 

The above 2 paragraphs were taken from the web site of religious 

tolerance. org/chrgibson. htm.  Yes, there is a web site.

 

 In July of 2006 Mel Gibson was stopped and arrested for drunk driving near 

his house in <a href="http://malibu.by/&#8221; target=”_blank” style=”color: rgb(148, 46, 6); “>Malibu.by</A> Deputy James Mee.  

In his initial report, Deputy Mee described how Gibson bolted from custody 

and how he chased the actor back to his car where he handcuffed him.  In 

addition, the report detailed repeated threats against Mee made by Gibson, 

who said that he "owned Malibu" and "would get even" with the deputy. The 

report also detailed Gibson’s "barrage of anti-Semitic remarks" in which he 

said, "The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world" before asking 

the deputy, who is Jewish: "Are you a Jew?"  

The article goes on to say that Gibson because of his celebrity status 

received a $1300.00 fine and other minor consequences.  He never apologized to 

the deputy or to the Jewish people.  Can we support an individual who 

hates us.
