Why does Mel Gibson hate jewish people?

Answer 1

On July 28th 2006 Mel Gibson asked a policeman if he was a Jew and then said "**** Jews... Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." At the time, he was being arrested for drunk driving.

In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter. he has since said "It's behind me; it's an eight-year-old story, It keeps coming up like a rerun, but I've dealt with it and I've dealt with it responsibly and I've worked on myself for anything I am culpable for."

Answer 2

You should ask Gibson this question.

Here are several responses which people have suggested:

1) "I think it is too many years of alcohol. Brain damage makes people say many stupid things."

2) "Probably dates back to his formative years. Mel Gibson is a Catholic, from the "old school". In those days the priests, nuns, and other influential Catholics taught that the Jews killed Jesus and that they were evil for that. That was a serious aspect of Catholicism whether it was written in their catechism or not. Mel Gibson put a lot of faith in his Catholic teachers. That is the only explanation I can see that gives a viable answer to his antisemitic views."

3) "I saw a documentary once about Mel's life. It said his dad was a Holocaust denier so I guess he was raised on it."
