At first, I wanted to give Gibson the benefit of the doubt ('tadun et havercha le-khaf zechut', etc.. )Actually Elie, I am tending to agree with you; Gibson needs to publicly reject his father's denial of the Holocaust, and he needs to do this <EM><I>in person</EM></I> . I understand it was his <EM><I>publicist</EM></I> who initially released the statement of apology. And giving money to help the displaced victims of hizbollah terror in the north of Israel would go a long way in showing his sincerity and support of the Jews.Lady-Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04992305067771885711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24229062.post-1154577389498015792006-08-02T21:56:00.000-06:002006-08-02T21:56:00.000-06:00he makes me sick.he makes me sick.yoniQuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313755492698002535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24229062.post-1154535942798689882006-08-02T10:25:00.000-06:002006-08-02T10:25:00.000-06:00Completely agree, LV.

And money donations would do nothing to build him up in my eyes - for a multi-millionaire celeb, that's just an easy cop-out.<BR/><BR/>Two examples of things he could do that would at least <B>begin</B> to make amends:<BR/>1) Utterly repudiate Holocaust revisionism and revisionists, including his father<BR/>2) Visit Israel and say/do concrete and visible things to build up it's positive PR in the current war.<BR/><BR/>Until then (don't hold your breath), Mad Mel can keep his phony apologies.Eliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15979263918394127210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24229062.post-1154534865670033272006-08-02T10:07:00.000-06:002006-08-02T10:07:00.000-06:00As much as he apologizes, I cannot help but think ...As much as he apologizes, I cannot help but think that he only does so to fix his tarnished image, and ensure solid movie sales in the future, and not for sincere reasons!<BR/>After all, how can he say he respects his holocaust denying dad, and still say he doesn't hate Jews?<BR/><BR/>Let's see him put his money where his mouth is, and make a sizeable donation to Jewish causes, and then PERHAPS I will believe the sincerity of his apologies!ggggghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09651580070374174659noreply@blogger.com
