Gibson asks Jews for help in healing
Mel Gibson?s latest apology drew mixed reactions from Jewish leaders, with some saying they were willing to help the actor address the anti-Semitic slurs he made during a drunken driving arrest and others demanding proof of his repentance. A law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity said the sheriff?s report says Gibson told the arresting deputy: ?The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world,? and asked him, ?Are you a Jew?? The apology went far beyond the first ? directed primarily to deputies ? and addressed Jewish groups directly. ?Please know from my heart that I am not an anti-Semite. I am not a bigot. Hatred of any kind goes against my faith,? he said in a statement.? ?There will be many in that (Jewish) community who will want nothing to do with me, and that would be understandable," he added. "But I pray that that door is not forever closed.?Gibson, 50, has had an edgy relationship with Jewish organizations since his 2004 blockbuster The Passion of the Christ, which some criticized for portraying Jews as responsible for Jesus? death.
