Mel Gibson Vs. the Jews - Part 2

The middle east conflict has a new face. His name is Mel Gibson.

Or it could be that two years after the much controversial Passion of the Christ film, Gibson finally made public how he feels about his worst critics -- the Jews.

The 50-year-old Oscar winning actor/director has been apprehended by police for driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) in Malibu, and blamed the Jews for starting world wars.

Celebrity stalkerati siteTMZ reported that the devout Catholic celebrity shouted anti-Jewish slurs and boasted that he "owned Malibu."

His alleged exact words were: "F….. Jews. The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." He then asked the deputy, "Are you a Jew?" Thus, completely eroding any plans he may have of becoming a representative to the United Nations.

However the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s woud not confirm this story.

As expected, no matter how it’s true or not, the Jewish community who already hate him for making Passion of the Christ was quick to pound on this "anti-semitic" sentiments.

Of course, we also expected Gibson to apologize for his behavior once he gets sober. In a well-written statement he said he is ashamed of his actions and says sorry for "despicable" statements he made during the arrest and for his "horrific relapse", after battling alcoholism all his adult life.

So now we find out that Gibson is a drunk all along. And given his claim he hasn’t been sober for the last 20 or so years.

But this apology was not enough to console the offended Jews because, well, he didn’t exactly say "sorry Jews.." And as Centerblue says:

"Given previous suspicions of his anti-Semitic views and his overly harsh depiction of Jews in The Passion of the Christ, I find his apology hard to believe–and find it more likely that he was revealing the truth of his feelings under the influence of alcohol."

Maybe he hasn’t forgiven the Jews either for his failed attempt to collect at the Oscars anew when Passion was snubbed in the major awards.

Things heat up as our unreliable sources tell us Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has invited Gibson to break bread with him and Hugo Chavez. After all, didn’t his father also said the Holocaust was mostly a work of fiction?

Well he can forget about Steven Spielberg sending him a card on Christmas!
