Mad Mel and the ADL

| | Comments (1) | TrackBacks (0)

The Anti Defamation League is worried about Mad Mel's Movie. Their concerns?

  • The film portrays Jewish authorities and the Jewish "mob" as forcing the decision to torture and execute Jesus, thus assuming responsibility for the crucifixion.
  • The film relies on sinister medieval stereotypes, portraying Jews as blood-thirsty, sadistic and money-hungry enemies of God who lack compassion and humanity.
  • The film relies on historical errors, chief among them its depiction of the Jewish high priest controlling Pontius Pilate
  • The film uses an anti-Jewish account of a 19th century mystical anti-Semitic nun, distorts New Testament interpretation by selectively citing passages to weave a narrative that oversimplifies history, and is hostile to Jews and Judaism.
  • The film portrays Jews who adhere to their Jewish faith as enemies of God and the locus of evil.

Incidentally, lets not forget the raves a sneak preview got with the conservative Washington establishment.
