Mel Gibson was arrested last Friday over the charges of drunken driving, but this case got simply side lined because of his anti-Semitic comments. When Gibson was arrested in Malibu, California, he asked the cop if he was a Jew, he further added that Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world. He was highly criticized all over for his mean comments that made him issue an apology on Saturday. However, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, Abraham H. Foxman, called his apology ‘unremorseful and insufficient’, so Gibson issued a more detailed response on Tuesday.
Gibson said that, he is no extremist; he is in the process of understanding where those nasty words came from. In his second statement, he asked for help from the Jewish community, accepting that he has offended them and wants them to help him on his journey through recovery.
Abraham H. Foxman, issued a statement lately saying that this is an apology they were expecting, it sounds sincere. He welcomed Gibson’s effort to repair the damage he has caused and to reach out to the Jewish community for help. Foxman said that once he completes his rehabilitation for alcohol abuse they would be ready to help him with his second rehabilitation to fight off this disease of prejudice. To smooth his relations with Jews Gibson has been invited to speak to the Jewish Community on their holy day of atonement, Yom Kippur.

MEL GIBSON DID NOT COMMIT AN UNPARDONABLE SIN. HE OVERDRANK AND SAID THINGS HE PROBABLY WOULD NOT SAY IF HE HADN’T BEEN DRINKING. AS FAR AS I KNOW, GIBSON WAS RAISED A CATHOLIC AND THEY SOMETIMES THINK DIFFERENTLY. HE KNOWS, IF HE HAS READ HIS BIBLE, THAT WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF JESUS. HOWEVER, HE LAID HIS LIFE DOWN WILLINGLY FOR ALL SINNERS. GIBSON SINS JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. THAT IS WHY HE NEEDS JESUS AS SO DEPICTED IN THE PASSION. THE OLD TESTAMENT PREDICTED JESUS’ COMING AND DEATH IN THE JEWISH TOWN. IT SAYS HE CAME UNTO HIS OWN AND HIS OWN RECEIVED HIM NOT. MEL, YOU CAN APOLOGIZE TO WHOEVER YOU HURT BUT ASK FOR FORGIVENESS AND IT IS GIVEN UNTO YOU BY JESUS WHO IS SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER, INTERCEDING FOR US. THANKS FOR THE PASSION.
