Mel Gibson is making a movie based on the story of Judah Maccabee, which is the historical background for the Jewish celebration of Chanukah. Given the furor over the portrayal of Jews in The Passion of the Christ and his anti-semitic tirades, what can he be thinking? Let Christopher Hitchens remind us of Gibson’s attitudes.
Can Mel Gibson possibly be trying to make up for his tirade-by making a movie that portrays Jews in a positive light? That was my first thought or guess.
