Who the F* does he think HE is. Look at this guy trying to ride the coat tails of Gibson. Just another overinflated ego full of himself.
2. Geez!
Lauren ,   Israel   (08.20.06)
All this publicity for a lousy drunk... You would think Americans would find something intelligent to obsess about. Can't wait til he writes the book: "Being a Jew Hater Means Never Having to Say You're Sorry".
3. 5 AA meetings a week, no time for repentance.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (08.20.06)
4. Mel Gibson
Eileen ,   Ra'anana   (08.20.06)
The NERVE of Rabbi David Baron inviting Mel Gibson to attend Temple on Yom Kippur....while the rest of us have to pay!!
5. KELLY OSBOURNE = JEWISH
DACON9   (08.20.06)
ITS ADMIRABLE THAT SOME RABBIS WANT TO EDUCATE GIBSON. ITS ADMIRABLE WE MAY AS WELL CONJURE UP HITLER AND HAMAN AND ARAFT AND AHAMDEJIANIANIANIAN. REMEMBER WHEN ALL THE OLD ANTISEMITE NAMES WERE EASY TO PRONOUNCE, AHMADENEJIANIEJIANIAN
6. Given the gibson family support of rabid anti-Semitism
Arie ,   Afula   (08.20.06)
Why not just invite nazirallah david duke or sinorita of lebanon or ramsey clark or jimbo carter or the muslim brotherhood? They are ALL on the same wavelength!
7. Forgiveness
Steve Hoover ,   USA   (08.20.06)
As an Evangelical Christian and a strong supporter of the State of Israel I do believe in forgiveness. If Mel is contrite and attends some type of face to face meeting with as many Jewish leaders as possible, I think he apologizes he should be forgiven this one time only. Should it occur again then no forgiveness should be given. He needs to understand the close relationship between Evengelical Christians and Jews. He needs to understand that Islamic murderers are attempting to kill both Jews and Christians today. It is a war between good and evil. I beseech my Jewish Brethern to forgive if it is warrented in your hearts. I pray for Jews in Israel everyday. I love your people and even send what little money I can to the International fellowship of Christians and Jews. I am one with you. Peace.
8. You Go Gibson!!!
Simon ,   CA, USA   (08.21.06)
I think he was not wrong to be outraged and upset on the satanic acts of the IDFarts. His movie about CHRIST Shows it. You go Man...
9. Pink is Jewish?
David ,   Norway   (08.20.06)
New one to me
10. Too ashamed to face Jews
Bennie ,   Jerusalem   (08.20.06)
Gibson a very sick man, sick of mind, sick of body, sick of spirit. Too ashamed to face Jews he defamed, too sick to face himself. A pity what fame and fortune brings.
11. Kelly Osbourne is not jewish (thank God)
Dan   (08.20.06)
12. Hehehe...Lauren you are great!
Harissa ,   Argentina   (08.20.06)
13. MEL - YOU'RE ALREADY FORGIVIEN - WE'VE MOVED ON ALREADY
andrew ,   miami,fl   (08.20.06)
14. The GReat Rabbi David Baron post 1
Allison ,   USA   (08.20.06)
Malcolm does it make you feel like a big man to use obscenity? Is that the extent of your vocabulary? Seems you are riding a coattail as well in wanting to draw attention to yourself by acting out with filthy language.
15. and I wouldn't go
Brittany ,   Isreal   (08.20.06)
and listen to you, so that's ok. Go and have a drink, with Ell, Mel.
16. We don't need his apology
(08.20.06)
and definitely not in kipur.
17. truth hurts
george ,   riyadh, saudi arabia   (08.21.06)
the Jewish world get so worked up about a silly comment. Must have some element of truth in it, or else those whiny nasal new york and LA jews woudnt have made such a big deal about it. Pathetic, always wanting the world to apologize to you. Says alot about the Jewish psyche, their demands for apologies is an expression of covering up the damage they caused to the entire world. Oh, and Arabs ARE semites, check your history dumbasses!
18. i dunno what did he say wich was wrons
robby   (08.21.06)
i didnt think he said something wrong what he sayd was the truth. and alcohol makes ppl speak their mind not act crazy!! so god bless u gibson
19. Reminder to the "Evangelial Steve"
David ,   USA,Monahans,TX   (08.21.06)
Quote"Should it happen again then no forgiveness" Hmmm "I tell you not 7 times but 7 times 70"
20. WHO NEEDS MEL
ROBERT MORLEY ,   FARMINGTON   (08.21.06)
IT'S NOT LIKE HE'S GOING BRING PEACE TO ISRAEL ,
21. He needs an exorcism!
Mark ,   USA   (08.21.06)
He needs to go for absolution!!
22. why should he?
Mo ,   Montreal, Qc   (08.21.06)
if Mel was kind enough to offer his apology, why should he do it in certain time or day?? he does whenever he feels like doing it, and as a free person he doesn't even have to apologize at all, he is only a kind and forgiven person, and that's why he is saying I'm sorry, not because he made a mistake, only because there are few people got offended by him. so, enough talking about the guy, and get a life, or girlfriend. or something.
23. In Vino There Is Truth
Willa Herman ,   Lawndale, Ca - USA   (08.21.06)
The branch doesn't fall far from the tree and I don't think any apologies from Mel Gibson are heartfelt, so they're worthless. He is what he is and a lot of people are willing to kiss his butt because, he's famous.
24. Simon #8
lisa reik ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (08.21.06)
Simon- You may be outraged at the IDF actions- that doesn't mean you go cursing all Jews everywhere...the first is logical rational criticism; the latter is blind ignorant hate./ racism
25. Gibson cannot apologise!
Nannette ,   London, UK   (08.21.06)
His father is a notorious antisemite and holocaust denier. He is a known antisemite, and this wasn't his first outburst. He just wants to save face, but he's now run out of excuses. He should just admit once and for all that he hates Jews.
26. Mel
JohnE ,   USA   (08.21.06)
It almost sounds like no one talked to Mel about this, according to what the Publicist said.
27. Keep it up Mel
Amir ,   Israel   (08.21.06)
I really like Mel, he is a brave man. Zionism is bullshit. I hate jews with zionist mind. Jews against zionism.
28. RE: #5 & 6 What about Paqid?
(08.21.06)
You both forgot about Paqid AND Albert Mohler. Maybe Rabbi Baron could get these 2 to apologize. Then maybe Mel, Paqid, and Mohler could start a church--Southern Japtist.
29. Why should this Jew hater apologise?
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (08.21.06)
This drunken aberration of humanity has viewed the opinion of many concerning Jews. Is he any different to the politically correct politicians, like Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett and Sir Menzies Campbell, who veil their anti-Semitism with innuendos and euphemisms? Or is he like George Galloway MP, who seems to be heading a new religion called Christo-Islamism with Judaism as its pet hate? Is Mel Gibson any different to Reuters who tampered with photos and videos to damage Israel? Is Mel Gibson any different to the biased opinions and one sided reporting by CNN, Sky News and the BBC all design to appease the Arab shareholders and oil Sheiks? The answer is NO! Gibson was just a bit more blunt. He hates Jews and everything Jewish. Some of the righteous would say "forgive him as he knows not what he has done." Others would say turn the other cheek. I say let him turn both cheeks and kick the fool in the butt!
30. Is it a case of " a leopart does not change its spots?"
Ram ,   London   (08.21.06)
