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.

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.
