I have actually seen the movi

I have actually seen the movie and to me it was indeed anti-semitic: Stereo-typical Jews (with hooked nose and kippa) taking bribes to give false witness against Jesus, a group of blood thirsty psychopathic priests who, for no apparent reason but their innate vangefulness, keep on asking for Jesus' death to the very end despite Jesus' bloody and injured condition (itself much exaggerated compared to the account in the Gospels), the faces of the priests and their hypocritical soft talk to the Romans in charge, a very kind and benevolent Pilate looking desperately for "truth" and having to deal with a bloodthirsty Jewsih rabble in complete contrast to real historical accounts, well known antisemitic symbolisms like showing Satan repeatedly walking among the Jews-his people(?), the famous "his blood be on us and our children" line that was still there, left without a subscript only at the pressure of ADL....

I come from Iran. So I think I know what I'm talking about when it comes to these things. I have seen many propaganda TV series depicting Zionists, Freemasons etc. This film was disturbingly similar to them.
Actually a couple of years ago the Iranian regime had made a TV series about Mary and the infant Jesus. There you also had evil Jews always in defiance of God's will, but even THEY had the Jewish authorities divided in two opposing camps, one benevolent and moral and the other evil predecessors of Zionism or whatever.
(It was filled with historical mistakes, priests and rabbis were all mixed up so the two camps were based on those of Hillel and Shammai as Temple priests!)

My point is that Mel Gibson's film lacked even this. (unless you want to count one or two ordinary Jews who weren't THAT bad...put there as embellishments I guess.)
