Now’s his time to shine I guess, since the world has collectively decided that antisemitism isn’t what we thought it was, and apparently Jews aren’t allowed to define it for ourselves without the help of evangelical death cultists.
I’m a Jew who values the lives of Palestinians as equally as I value the lives of Israelis, and I will never give a cent to anything Mel Gibson is a part of.
You may think none of that is related to an old Hollywood filmmaker making movies again, but according to a new poll, one in five young people don’t believe the holocaust happened. Let that sink in for a sec. Millions of people were systematically murdered less than 100 years ago, and one in five young people are like “nah, I didn’t see it, so it didn’t happen.” Anyone who tries to tell you that this bigot making movies doesn’t matter, it does. Movies and the people who make them have significant influence on the culture.
Israel was the first to cry antisemitism when they were criticized for their response to the Hamas attack. China does the exact same thing by crying racism whenever they get called out.
American conservatives are just piling on because they hate Muslims.
American Christian evangelicals are a death cult who believe that when Isreal is ‘restored’ that Jesus will return, kill most the jews, and rapture the Christians.
Also, they hate Muslims. But they definitely don’t care about the Jewish or Israeli people.
Is the one in five from the Economist/Yougov survey? I was mixing it up in my memory with this one from the ADL on antisemitic attitudes that showed one in five people surveyed believed six or more antisemitic tropes.
I’m still a bit dumbfounded on what to do with this kind of information. It makes no sense. We literally fought the biggest war ever about this, deployed weapons so horrifying they’ve never been used again, and 20% of people are like “oh yeah let’s do it again”?!
Yeah, I got that from the Economist/Yougov survey.
20% of people under 30 strongly agree or tend to agree that the Holocaust it is a myth.
I have no idea what to do with this shit either. The most concerning thing to me is that lots of younger folks have the impressive long-term thinking to understand that our collective futures are fucked if we don’t get the climate under control, but seem to be incapable of learning lessons from history. Nazis = bad and Holocaust = it happened, doesn’t seem too hard to internalize. The camps are still there for fuck’s sake. I realize I’m painting with a broad brush, but I’m not sure how else to explain these numbers.
The holocaust deniers should be forced to watch the Santa clause on repeat
Why is this about you? The holocaust happened and deniers are shit but what is happening currently is being supported by governments around the world. Israel is currently committing a genocide.
Mel Gibson is still a shit, the world didn’t decide antisemitism is ok but I can hope there is more backbone shown worldwide against the Israeli regime.
Well said, agree with it all.
Wait … Part I? There is enough material after he resurrected for two movies?
That’s going to be just like the hobbit. 6 hours of movies for about 100 pages of content. Except less
Can’t wait for the new romance between Mary and Joseph that wasn’t in the book.
What about the second bad guy who was only mentioned once who takes up half the story?
Well thirty minutes in Jesus goes out for smokes and isn’t seen again for a few thousand years.
The rest of the movie is just people asking others if they’ve found Jesus yet.
Waiting for
GodotJesus.He will be here tomorrow for sure.
He’s back, and this time it’s personal.
Yeaaaaaaaa
Jesus II: Retribution
Coming soon to a church near you
Jim Caviezel has confirmed he will reprise the role of Jesus for the sequel.
So world renowned anti-Semite Mel Gibson and QAnon sack of shit Jim Caviezel are reuniting for two more christian propaganda films? Hard pass.
