BUT, the Passion Play, and specifically the lines from Matthew have been used repeatedly for two thousand years to whip people into a frenzy to murder Jews with impunity. Vatican II and all the lengthy explanations about who really killed Christ (or why Christ died or this and that) don't change the actual history of bloodshed.

So when Gibson's movie comes out in our wonderful modern post-racial era and repeats what for twenty centuries has been real bad news for the Jews, and makes 600 million dollars, I can understand the Jews not being happy with the state of affairs.

If for the next two millennia people show Shindler's List and then go out and murder Germans, I'll be sympathetic to them the next time it gets remade. Until then I don't really see a comparison.

Can you offer any examples of Jews being murdered linked to Passion Plays or Mel Gibson's movie?  I still have a hard time believing this one.  Does the number of murders of the Jewish people go up at the Easters?
