1. Mel Gibson is anti-Semitic and homophobic? Shocker!
David P. ,   Capitola, CA   (12.21.10)
Winona Ryder had a weird moment?
2. det's funi - shi dudn't luk jooish
oferdesade ,   israel   (12.21.10)
then again, he doesnt look like the devil's spawn.
3. Oven dodger. Maybe Mel Gibson meant Winona Ryder
Rivkah   (12.21.10)
was dodging having a bun in the oven (pregnancy). I don't think she has children and people torment women who don't have children as a kind of sport. I don't think Mel Gibson mean Winona Ryder escaped the ovens of death camps in Europe since she was born after WWII ended.
4. all 3 main actresses in Black Swan are jewish
dave ,   uk   (12.21.10)
5. as a holocaust survivor I am offended by #3's comments
Yaffa Gittel G. ,   Israel   (12.21.10)
Ynet would you kindly consider removing it. Thank you.
6. #3 Rivkah
ADI ,   Haifa, Israel   (12.21.10)
Please!! Get real. He is who he is. Trained by his father and an unmitigated Jew-hater.
7. to #3
hanna ,   Tel Aviv   (12.21.10)
RIvkah... do not be naive... he hates Jews, gays, African Americans, and probably anyone who's believes oppose his (or is not an alcoholic.. hehe) You should YouTube Gibson so you can hear some of the stuff he has said
8. Rivkah! what no personal story with Mel Gibson?
(12.21.10)
Surely I am disappointed. You usually make up such deliciously ridiculous stuff. What happened today having an off day!?
9. Ryder probably misheard Gibson.
Tomek ,   Poland   (12.21.10)
He must have made a joke about her large-scale shoplifting
10. Take her remarks with a grain of salt...
zionist ,   US   (12.21.10)
Why would comments made 15 years ago when someone was drunk be brought up now? Ryder has had her own serious personal problems, like being convicted for shoplifting, etc. Her remarks are history and should be left there.
11. SMELL GIBSON
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (12.21.10)
I wish him a brutal demise.
12. Braveheart VHS tape makes an excellent doorstop
Logic ,   Israel   (12.21.10)
13. to # 2 oferdesade
moi ,   ici   (12.21.10)
How does a Jew looks like? A very strange and ignorant comment.....
14. I didn't get what an "oven dodger" meant either.
noa ,   israel   (12.21.10)
What's going on in Hollywood? O.J. Simpson, Mel Gibson . . . the lowest of the lows.
15. Ryder is lier he never said that
tea man ,   marjayoun   (12.21.10)
she try to draw attention after all she is a thief or if you put it nicely shoplifter
16. Oh please. coming from a Beverly Hills shoplifter
Joy ,   NJ   (12.22.10)
15 years later. LOL . lady & I'm being kind calling you that, you have a credibility problem.
17. The reason why this came up..
homer jones ,   nyc usa   (12.22.10)
It's because of Gibson's divorce case. She was explaining that she new about his feelings years ago but no one at the time believed her.
18. # 8..No, Ryder is a convicted shop-lifter..
Edithann ,   USA   (12.22.10)
I guess being a shop lifter and thief isn't as bad as being an antisemitic...hahaha...Is there a difference? Just look at Israel...it's shop lifting on a massive scale... TATA
19. #15...right on!
(12.22.10)
I guess she needs the press to get her career back on track..what better way then to tell more lies... TATA
20. Gibsons end will be tragical......
Jaacov Baumann   (12.22.10)
''He who curses Israel will be cursed!''
21. TOO SAD TO HEAR
Mohmed ,   Alexandria, Egypt   (12.22.10)
IT'S VERY SAD TO SEE A GREAT ACTOR LIKE MEL GIBSON TALKING LIKE THAT ABOUT JEWS BUT I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH HIS BELIEFS THAT HE IS RELIGIOUS AND HE THINKS THAT JESUS CHRIST WAS KILLED BY THE JEWS HE IS REALLY RELIGIOUS HE OWN A BIG ISLAND IN AUSTRALIA AND HE HAS A BIG HUGE CHURCH FOR HIM AND FOR HIS 9 DAUGHTERS TO PRAY IN AND HE DONATES LOTS OF MONEY TO CHURCHES AROUND THE WORLD HE EVEN HAS A FILM PRODUCTION COMPANY CALLED ICON AND IT'S ICON IS THE FACE OF JESUS CHRIST MY MOM WAS RAISED BY AN OLD JEWISH WOMAN AND MOM LOVED HER SO MUCH AND SHE WAS SO SAD WHEN THE WOMAN IMMIGRATED TO THE STATE OF ISRAEL BECAUSE SHE MISSES HER SO MUCH EGYPTIAN JEWS WERE FAMOUS WITH INTEGRITY AND HONESTY MOST OF THE JEWS WHO USED TO LIVE HERE WERE WORKING THE FOOD INDUSTRY LIKE OWNING GROCERY STORES AND JEWELLERY STORES AS WELL GOD BLESS THE STATE OF ISRAEL AND BLESS THE ISRAELI PEOPLE MOHMED
22. #18 Hey Edithann the Man
Cynthia ,   USA   (12.22.10)
How many talkback names are you using now to post nonsense? Tea Man, Joy, Edithann. What happened to Marco of Spain and Peter of Vienna? And what's up with TATA? Have you joined the circus?

Hello, I saw your post and want you to know how very sorry I am that you had to experience the Holocaust. I want you to know that, though it is very hard to do so, I make it my business to educate myself about what people went through, and also I have raised my daughter to know the incredible suffering that the men, women, and children went through. Yes, it is hard to read the stories of survivors, but I feel that if they had to go through that, I owe it to them to know about it. I am a Christian woman and I want you to know how sorry I am and also sorry that Christians didn't do more to help. May G-d bless you and keep you.
24. Shoplifter?
noa ,   israel   (12.22.10)
I would hardly put it on the same level as anti-semite or Holocaust denier. Or even abandonner of children and family.
25. #9& #10 What's one thing got do with the other?
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (12.22.10)
Dumb talkbacks.....both of you.
26. Gibson's legacy
not Salma ,   not "Palestine"   (12.22.10)
Is of his own making and like Helen Thomas he can go to his grave knowing his legacy is an ugly one.
27. #22..no dear, I've always been Edithann...
Edithann ,   USA   (12.22.10)
Anyone who has to question identities must be suspect themselves...Only thieves accuse others of stealing... TATA
28. GIBSON :WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (12.22.10)
Dear Mr .Gibson , in the unlikely event that you are reading this ,what ,precisely ,is your problem ?? You have been blessed with a wonderful career ,good looks and great wealth .The jews who largely control Hollywood have been good to you .If you turned into a nasty unpleasant bum with an alcohol problem ,that is your responsibility ,not the jews .You sorely need to repent ." I WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS YOU AND CURSE THOSE WHO CURSE YOU ." Do not say you have not been warned....LOSER.
29. Winona Ryder
Wendy Chu ,   Los Angeles, USA   (12.23.10)
Winona Ryder definitely strikes me as having entirely fabricated this yarn. She is obviously desperate to grab any shred of limelight she can given her slide into cinema mediocrity over the last decade. So sad that she would contrive such a phony story just to grab attention. Then again, she is a convicted shoplifter so why not a liar to boot.
30. #18 & #29
Cynthia ,   USA   (12.23.10)
Winona Ryder has made an incredible comeback while Gibson fades into obscurity. You and Mr. Edithann must be leftovers from Gibson's fan club. Given his history of anti-semitic rants under the influence, her story sounds entirely believable.
