Background / Jesus of Palestine & the 'Passion' of Israel
cut

In a New York Times Magazine article last year, Hutton Gibson was quoted as saying that the Holocaust was manufactured as part of an arrangement between Hitler and "financiers" to move Jews out of Germany and into Palestine.

Hitler "had this deal where he was supposed to make it rough on them so they would all get out and migrate to Israel because they needed people there to fight the Arabs," Hutton Gibson told the Times.

In the end, the Middle East may serve to exemplify one of the signal lessons of "The Passion of the Christ": that the potential for deep-seated, extra-rational hatred is universal, that no side is exempt from the failing of human cruelty.

"There is something called terrorism. It must be fought. We need to understand its sources, and to seek to dry them up. But to go into genetics, is like trying to cite the inexplicable for why and how the Jewish people have lasted this long, then to apply all sorts of labels on us such as those in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, then to make accusations of blood libels, and then finish with the terrible massacre of the Holocaust."

5. Completely agree with you!
I don't normally think that way and feel quite embarrassed now.

Thanks for your support on this particular father/son dynamic!
