Wieseltier on the Passion

Leon Wieseltier: "MEL GIBSON'S LETHAL WEAPON: The Worship of Blood" in the New Republic.

The key line:

"In its representation of its Jewish characters, The Passion of the Christ is without any doubt an anti-Semitic movie, and anybody who says otherwise knows nothing, or chooses to know nothing, about the visual history of anti-Semitism, in art and in film."

Listen to this dude; he knows these things.
