31. Gibson will win (unfortunately)
John ,   Clarksburg, NJ   (07.30.06)
The sad part of this situation is the more you screw up the better off you are and he'll end up end up making another small fortune after all this attention. Just look at how this country makes idols out of those who are in the news. Only in America can you succeed by screwing up.
32. Quit "Wine-ing" Miami boy!
Tom ,   Orlando   (07.30.06)
When you said that the "truth" comes out when one starts drinking, you should have just stopped right there! Out of courtesy, Mel didn't express his sober feelings! Jews do start all the wars and they have an excuse for every innocent person they kill.
33. Mel nailed?
Pete ,   Topeka   (07.30.06)
No, you have it all wrong. Mel wasn't nailed in his movie. Jesus Christ was nailed in Mel's movie and the Jews had the Romans do it! Mel even left out the Biblical statement in Matt:27:25. This was for the Hollywood Jews sake!
34. #! Nailed
Pete ,   Topeka   (07.30.06)
Mel wasn't nailed in his movie, Jesus Christ was. The Jews had the Romans do it and Mel was courteous enough to Jewish/Hollywood to omit an extremely important quotein that movie: Matthew 27:25 "Let His blood be upon us and our children." Nuff said about you poor, innocent Jews! You all killed God Himself! John 8:44 "You are of your father the Devil and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer in the beginning and he stood not in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie he speaketh of his own, becausee is a liar and the truth is not in him." Is the Bible full of crap also? Keep reading... There is no anti semitic remarks there...That is The Son of God speaking!
35. HE GOT CAUGHT
Denise Watson ,   Liberty, USA   (07.30.06)
The only reason Gibson is sorry is HE GOT CAUGHT...How dare HE??? say all those antisemetic hurtful dispicable things, he ought to be ashamed of himself and not for nothing when your a drunk like him THE TRUTH COMES OUT...SO HE IS A JEW HATER....HOW DARE HE??
36. mel gibson.
Greg ,   nevada usa   (07.30.06)
In reply to the idiot who states 'he was drunk give him a break' you sir are a moron. Condone drunk/driving, as well as racist behavior if you like, it shows me what a balanced individual you must be. Mel Gibson shows the world yet again what a nasty piece of work he is and that his beliefs fall in with his fathers.
37. A- hole
Ike ,   virgina usa   (07.30.06)

fuck you isreal mel is best actor in the world . israel kill people in lebenon and palestinian.
40. No. 18, John Rafferty
NYC Girl   (07.30.06)
What makes you think Mel Gibson's anti-Semitism has anything to do with Muslims? I can assure you that it more than likely stems from his retrograde form of Catholicism and his belief that the Jews killed Christ, in addition to being raised by a father who denies the Holocaust took place. I'll guarantee you that he doesn't give a rat's ass about Muslims. In fact, I'd wager a bet that he probably has no use for them whatsoever. So if I were you, I wouldn't be too quick to cheer him on.
41. As in Rome
RGH ,   USA   (07.30.06)
"In vino, veritas."
42. Deeply Ashamed?! Whatever
Paige ,   Atlanta, GA   (07.30.06)
He's not deeply ashamed of a dang thing. He's deeply worried that he might have negatively affected his career. How shameful that someone that is an "idol" for millions has the moral depth of a puddle and a shameful intolerance for the Jewish people. Loser!!!
43. Hasheem Will Make Him Go Mad
another alan ,   Hawthorne, NJ US   (07.30.06)
Don't you ever think that every culture and race is tought that there group has been victimized through history. What you learned in Hebrew school or Yeshiva about Jewish history is half legend (Moses and the Hebrews in ancient Egypt) and distortions (more then Jews suffered undre the Inquisition in Spain). In my 4 years of Hebrew School I heard every day about the 6 million Jews who died at German hands but never about the Communists, Gypsys and homosexuals who also were in the concentration camps. I also never heard that the Nuremberg Laws were modeled after the US Jim Crow (Segregation) laws. And of course, the fact that close to 50 million people (the majority civilian) died during WW2 was never mentioned. If there is a Hasheem (I kind of doubt it) I am sure you will agree that he has made all of us go mad during WWII.
44. To #34. #!Nailed?
Robby ,   Seminole, FL   (07.30.06)
<> Really? And this is the type of god you worship? All you have done is shown the underlying anti-semitism in your scriptures....which is the basis of all anti-semitism for the last 2,000 years. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.....and of the god you have created and worship! You seem to be forgetting that even jesus was Jewish! ...and so was his Mom. He was one of our boys! ...albeit a little misguided!
45. it just dosnt cut it for just saying 'sorry'
jason ,   usa   (07.30.06)
what is he sorry for? for anti-semitic comments is he really sorry for his anti-semitic movie? no.. he never said he was its still out there
46. Mel Gibson - gey in dr'erd already
SR ,   NYC   (07.30.06)
I'm surprised he didn't say that Jews who run Hollywood prevent him from "telling the truth" and being a multi-millionaire. What a disgusting schtik of drek! Now, all you Christians, who is more Christian, Mel Gibson or the Jew Paul Newman who founded and donates all Newman's Own profits to maintain summer camps for critically ill children?? The "Marseillaise" has lyrics "..he who was nothing will become everything". In a very ironic twist this is true of Mel Gibson, thanks in large part to th e" Hollywood Jews". I hope in their wisdom they'll help him return to his initial state, where he belongs.
47. It's a long life. Practice forgiveness.
Just another guy ,   Anywhere, USA   (07.30.06)
Well, I feel sorry for him that his "faith" apparently has led him to hate Jews. And I feel sorry for him that he is a drunk. I don't understand Christianity anyway. Wasn't Jesus a Jew? So how can a Christian be an anti-Semite? Gibson is interesting in that he has the compulsion to revert back to more ancient texts and interpretations. The hillbillies we have here in the U.S. are laughable in that they have not studied at all. Run down to Alabama and remind the so-called Christians that Jesus was a Jew...but do it with the engine running on your car. For them, Jesus was the blonde/blue Son of God. It seems like his comment "Jews are responsible for al the wars" is distinct from his religious fervor. That comment puts him squarely in the American mainstream. Poll your friends to see how many think the U.S. should abandon Israel...that our support of Israel has led to many of our troubles. Of course, it is our lack of consistency that has led to our problems. Under King George I, we loved Saddam. Under George II, not so much. We supported the Shah of Iran, toppled governments in Central America. For Gibson to lay all the world's ills at the feet of the Jews is silly. Stand up for justice, Mel, for peace, for knowledge and wisdom.

49. GIBSON
DOR ,   IL   (07.30.06)

51. Help Israel - Sign the Petition
gerd schulz ,   germany   (07.30.06)
The State of Israel is in crisis now and needs your support more than ever before. Help Israel - Sign the Petition http://globaljewish.com/
52. Apologize specifically to Jews, Mel. "To anyone" just won't
Márcia ,   Brazil   (07.30.06)
do it. Better yet, why don't you use your talent to show how deeply you regret your anti-Semitic remarks? Show us you've learned something. It's about time. You're 50 yo and can think on your own.
53. Nailed is right !
yeiyel ,   Houston   (07.30.06)
Truth will always be revealed.
54. to maria in beirut...
Dweezil ,   North Carolina USA   (07.30.06)
If Christ was not killed , where would CHristianity be??? Obviously it was all part o GODS plan , whoever Killed Christ should be a hero to CHristians, I dont get it
55. Mel Gibson
Adam ,   Mechanicsburg United   (07.30.06)
I think it's humorous that Jews take offense to Mr. Gibson's remarks. I've heard more anti- Christian remarks in my life than anti semitism.
56. Mel
Adam ,   Mechanicsburg US   (07.30.06)
What tree did you fall from? You are a liar if you say you've never made a joke or remark about another race or religion. Typical garbage.
57. Still wining.
Adam ,   Mechanicsburg US   (07.30.06)
"Since we are JEWS." How much and how long do you want sympathy? I'm tired of hearing the same crap over and over. Find some meaning to your life.
58. so what?
bihari ,   virginia   (07.30.06)
I bet these remarks were made up by the jews that feel he is anti semite because of the movie passion. If you remember correctly, the jews were upset about that movie, due to the fact that it showed the truth. the word anti-semite is basically affirmative action for jews worldwide to have everything their way.
59. honesty
Pancho ,   San José, Costa Rica   (07.30.06)
Can you buy an used car from Mr. Mel Gibson?
60. To # 13
Tom ,   bsas, Argentina   (07.30.06)
Funny. Do you know that Jesus was Jewish. Do you know that Catholicism and Islam both would be nothing if it weren´t based on Judaism. Do you know that in the Coran the true one, not the narrow minded Terrorist use and misuse, there are links to Jesus, and Judaism. And still you want us all jews erased from the fase of the earth. Does 5766 years of existence tell you something? YOU CAN´T GET RID OF US. 6 MILLION DIED BEACUSE OF NAZISM, AND WE STILL STANDING STRONG, HAVE A COUNTRY AND IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND WE DID A LOT TO CULTURE AND CIVILIZATION, AND YOU STILL LEAVE IN THE Vth century.. NARROW MIND PEOPLE. KEEP THE HATE GOING, IT LEADS NOWHERE. Do you know that Israel not only won all its wars waged because of Arab States antisemitic bloody countries, but also build a country of its own, living in peace and prosperity. You say you ¨ care ¨ for the pals, but remember Black September, in Jordan 1970, Remember the Syria massacre in Hama. But of course, you´ll say that Israel is doing ¨ war crimes ¨ comparing it with Nazism, which is very VERY VERY IGNORANT OF YOU PEOPLE... DO YOU KNOW THAT JEWS AND ARABS ARE BOTH SEMITS? But well you chose over the centuries to wage wars just because you were angry and have no tolerance with other religions, and cultures. That´s why the Crusades, and now the ¨HOLY WAR¨ Bullshit. Have you consider the possibility that ortodox Jews back in the times of Jesus, had a logical and narrow minded set of mind that OF COURSE guiding themselves from the Torah they would reject a guy like Jesus. But I wonder why do you care for Jesus. You seem to me like Cartman of South Park, you are just like him. UPS, MAYBE YOU DON´T KNOW THEM. But who cares. I´m just writing. A BIG FUCK YOU TO ALL NAZIS, ISLAMIC-FASCISM AND HATRED! YOU MUST LEARN TO LIVE IN PEACE WITH JEWS AND WITH ISRAEL. INSTEAD OF CONGRATULATE A JEWISH DEATH, OR 9/11. You´ll never learn, do you? LONG LIVE ISRAEL.
