No Thank Jew: People Say No To Mel Gibson Making Maccabee Movie

Mel Gibson is getting a lot of negative opinions about him making a movie about Judah Maccabee, a prominent Jewish icon in history. Rabbi Marvin Hier is offended that someone who is notorious for accused anti-semitism is making a film about Maccabee and says, "Mel Gibson is no Maccabee." Thank you, Captian Obvious. Also, the Anti-Defamation League is asking Warner Bros to take Gibson out of the project and believe, "As a hero of the Jewish people and a universal hero in the struggle for religious liberty, Judah Maccabee deserves better.” Before I go on, I don't know who the Anti-Defamation League is, but they sound like a pile of buzzkills. Just because you put 'league' at the end of your name, doesn't make it cool. It's for athletes and superheroes like Superman. In spite of the quote from a nerdy bunch, I have to agree with them and the rabbi. I think it's very oxymoronic that Mel Gibson is making a movie about Jews. That's like Amy Winehouse writing a song about rehab. Uh oh...
