Some nazi era caricatures. How did Mel Gibson get away with such shameful antisemitc propaganda?

Well considering that the New Testament is quintessentially an antisemitic book, it kinda makes sense for this film being so.

Spoken like an atheist who’s never read the bible.

For the truth, we can start at the point where Jesus said that everything written in the Old Testament was true, and go from there.

For a man to trust I find your lack of logical reasoning disturbing.

It's not antisemitic at all.

[–] ManToTrust (1660) 4 years ago

It’s because there was no anti Semitic propaganda.

It's not antisemitic to tell the truth. Jewish leaders of that time wanted JC killed. It's just history. It's not a condemnation of every Jewish person who ever lived. Hell, what was it like 5 people behind this?

Pretty accurate portrayal if you ask me.
