(Sorry for the gap–got called away.) Like I said, I don’t know Mel Gibson’s heart, and you can say that he didn’t give the perfect answer if the comment in the Independent is accurate–”Yes, of course. Atrocities happened. War is horrible. The Second World War killed tens of millions of people. Some of them Jews in concentration camps.” “Some of them Jews…” I know raises automatic alarm bells in some. Hatred for Jews is so widespread and poisonous that you always want to be clear that there is something especially evil about anti-Semitism. But I give the guy the benefit of the doubt. The media feels for Saddam and his dirty underwear and has no empathy for a movie guy whose father, whatever insanity he may or may not believe, has been dragged into the spotlight unfairly. It’s a wild world.
