you can't see it now but the j-man was giving that man a handjob

because it suggested that Jews at the time of Jesus were at least partially to blame for his torture and execution as has been stated in the New Testament for almost 2 thousand years

It wasn't. It was highly celebrated in America. Most churches held screenings. Great movie for the brave-hearted Christian majority of the USA. Maybe the fake news told a different story but they spin every little thing as if it's apocalyptoic. Every true patriot loved this movie. The man without a face.

>On December 16, Daily Variety reported that the pope had seen the film, and on December 17, The Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan reported that John Paul II had said: "It is as it was,"
Oh shit, so basically Mel has imprimatur?

...

The heebs made a big stink about it when it came out.

Anything remotely religious gets peoples panties in a wad

The Catholic Church took a hard spin in the 60s on the belief that Jews were responsible for Jesus' death and a lot of protestant denominations have too.

You should always look to how Christians treated Jews prior to the reformation

>Bible says all of humanity is responsible for his death
>christ-tards blame the kikes

woah

It's Jews. It's always the Jews. It's become so true, it's not even just a Sup Forums meme anymore.

Well in the book version (I forgot the name) the Jews want Jesus prosecuted for claiming to be god or something.

Stop acting like you're not Sup Forums you subversive little faggot

>Jews, among others, forced the Romans to get rid of him
>somehow all of humanity is to blame for the actions of a few

I wonder who could be behind this post.

>subversive
>by telling the truth

Oy vey

...

For telling the truth.

>Jews choose barbaras over Jesus
>literally in the bible since its conception
>somehow depicting this 2000 year old event is antisemitic

Romans have been scapegoating the jews for years on this one.

It was too violent.

You sure showed the evil nazis now :^)

>There is a passage, for example, of someone named Jesus who was sent to Hell to be boiled in excrement for eternity. The Jews denied that this is the Jesus of the Bible, stating “not every Louis born in France is king.

Huh no wonder they went full autodafe on the talmud

Mostly this. The reviews at the time (even the positive ones) all criticized the movie for being too violent, or relying too much on violence for its substance.

As far as the antisemitism goes, the movie does go out of its way to make Jews look like the bad guys. Even outside of what's in the gospel accounts, the movie portrays the Jews as a vicious, angry mob that are foaming at the mouth to kill Jesus for no reason. Whether that was dictated by Mel assuming that people need obvious villains, or if he was actively trying to be antisemitic, the end result is the same: the Jews look bloodthirsty and evil. This was my experience with the accusations:

>before seeing the movie
>the antisemitism talk is probably bullshit. people like being offended, so they're looking for things to complain about
>after seeing the movie
>holy shit, Mel Gibson really wanted me to hate those Jews

the only offensive thing to the movie industry is not turning a profit

Was more like a snaff movie

Are there actually paid Nazi shills on this board? As retarded and obsessive as Sup Forums is it seems like there are actually people being paid to slander Jews on this site now. Every thread there's some obvious shill with poor understanding of language screeching about Jews.

I liked that it wasn't in English, and that Jerusalem looks real. Take out the slow mo, Mel and lay off the Heebs, ya faggot.

It is as it was
this has been happening way before Sup Forums dipshit

...

Because WE WUZ JESUS

>how Christians treated Jews prior to the reformation
And we did the same after. Only WWWII put an end to "remove Jews from Europe" meme.

>belief that Jews were responsible for Jesus' death
the jews were literally responsible for his death.
read the bible
>jesus preached the love of all and to the one true god
>people said he is the messiah prophesised in the talmot
>he went into the synagogue and went ape shit that the jews were praying to false gods
>upturns the tabernacle
>jews denied he was messiah
>jews got butthurt
>snitched on him to the romans
>romans arrest him
>trial
>no crime to the romans but jews cried blasphemy
>romans give last chance to jews to free jesus or the murderer barabus
>jews free barabus
>jesus was kill
jews still proclaim their messiah will come and free them from the goyim

Nice quads.

jesus doesn't reel

>the movie portrays the Jews as a vicious, angry mob that are foaming at the mouth to kill Jesus for no reason.
>Undermines (((their))) power structure by preaching an alternative path, one which doesn't involve money-changing at the temple or expensive sacrifices
>no reason

Oh, look... a gay man has all the answers.

How can a story about jews wanting another jew dead be antisemitic?

Because jews have been trying to make it look like it was the romans who killed Jesus for deacades and Gibson ruined it with one film. Even the Vatican decided to stop calling jews prophet murderers since the 60s.

high budget christian gore porn

1. Made the Jews out as the bad guys (story-wise they were, but still).
2. Was pretty shit and amounted to a period piece Hostel movie.

The gospels were literally written in an anti-jews light considering they were written first and foremost as propaganda that could convince Romans and Greeks to turn Christians.
By all accounts Jesus' death was confirmed by Pilatus, not the Sanhedrîn, and the gospels were re-written at Nicea by a council that answered to Emperor Constantinus, if we want to get historical and not religious.

It only makes sense that the Romans are shown as more civilized(they were) than the Jews which were basically Talibans.

Cool, there's the same kind of shit in the Old Testament but you don't see Christians going around killing people because they're working on Shabbath.

"Jesus" (Yahshua) was an "anti-semite". That is why they killed Him:

Yahshua condemned the jews of his day in the strongest of terms, as literal "children of the devil", "full of hypocrisy and iniquity", and "children of hell" (Matthew 23).

Yahshua speaking to the jewish Pharisees:

"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." - John 8:44

"Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" -Matthew 23:33

*Note: "generation" in the above verse is from the Greek "gennema", literally meaning "offspring". Check for yourself in Strong's Concordance and a Hebrew and Greek Lexicon.

Because it tells the truth about the pernicious eternal Kike.

The term "torture porn" getting thrown around a lot at the time.

Related - in the late 1970s, when my dad, from an Irish Catholic/German family, married my mom, from a southern Baptist family, my aunt strongly objected to the marriage, saying of my father's family "but they killed our lord!" So take middle America's reaction to the Passion of the Christ with a grain of salt, none of them know what the hell they're talking about.

because the perfidious hebrews hate the truth

Because you're a filthy cocksucking nigger

Stop

They are lost and hateful bitter souls. They do it for free but will pay for it in the end

>shortly after this user realised he was half-Jewish

>it is release

The Bible?

because jews thats way.

>jews kill jesus
>thousand years later people realize it and start placing the blame where it's due
>OY VEY PERSECUTION 6 BILLION ANTI SEMITISM DONT EVER ACCUSE THE CHOSEN PEOPLE THEY ARE SAINTS
why is this allowed?

stop rubbing those hands together

>Every true patriot loved this movie

every American patriot loves a movie about a Palestinian made by an Australian?

its a meme + lot of paranoid nutzies actually believe mossad is operating on Sup Forums and they unironically believe they are debating jew agents, when actually they are debating some level-headed guy who doesn't see the point of hating on every jew of the world

Some hardcore Sup Forumstards even shit their pants when you say "we are coming for you". I once debated user who claimed that you can't cremate human under two hours. I proved him wrong, left the thread and when I came back he had been up whole night debating me and he even said he will contact united nations if I don't leave his family alone

>the Jews killed Jesus

But everyone on this fucking movie is a Jew or Roman, and while the crowd demand he die, there's plenty of onlookers clearly distressed and asking for mercy while he gets btfo by those Romans.

Jesus himself is a fucking Jew, I have no idea how a minority of Jews in a Jewish society killing a Jew means that all Jews are sinners.

This.

>saying of my father's family "but they killed our lord!"
this can't be true.

because it showed the truth about how jews killed the savior of men

>Are there actually paid Nazi shills on this board?
Stormfront has been shilling on this website since damn near the beginning. How new are you? Are you enjoying your summer break?
