    Synagogue asks Mel Gibson for large donation

    One California synagogue on the brink of bankruptcy has asked for financial help from an unlikely donor: Mel Gibson.

    Congregation Beth Shalom in Corona, Calif., wrote a letter to the embattled actor asking to help their flailing synagogue, TMZ reports:

    “Our proposal to you, Mr. Gibson, is since you have been cited as an Anti-Semitic, and have denied those allegations, what better way to prove to all your fans and the nay Sayers — than to endorse and help raise funds for our cause — SOS, Save Our Synagogue.”

    But the best part of the letter is the last line:  ”Mr. Gibson, we offer you to be a Mensch and make a sizable contribution to our cause.”

    The embattled actor’s anti-Semitic tirade to a police officer after being pulled over for a DWI was caught on tape.

    In the 2006 police report of the incident, Gibson is cited as yelling: “Fucking Jews… The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world.” Gibson then asked a police officer, “Are you a Jew?”

    Gibson’s film, “The Passion of the Christ,” was viewed by some critics as having anti-Semitic undertones.

    Gibson has denied allegations of anti-Semitism.

      Why not ask Yahweh to help instead of Mel Gibson?

      Absurd. Why should he? One request that to use a Jewish word, Chutzpah! Meaning colossal nerve. As commentator Michael said, "slick reasoning."

      The Jewish False Messiah and his Jewish Bankers will deceive the Entire world........ that is exactly what happened on 9-11.

      Jews do not believe in Jesus so they are still waiting for a Messiah. God will send them a False Messiah as a final punishment. The Antichrist will rebuild the Jewish Temple Mount.

      The Antichrist and his Jewish Bankers will control all the worlds governments and armies. THE NEW WORLD ORDER, The most Evil system in the history of mankind. Why dont they go ask the Jewish Owned Federal Reserve ?

      Nothing like laying a huge guilt trip on the guy. If he says no, go ask your congregation, he looks bad. If he does pony up some cash it will get looked at as a bribe or payoff, them everyone will have their hand out. It's a no win situation.

      (1) Why would Mel Gibson, an Evangelical Catholic donate to other than his own church/religion?

      (2) Why put a Jewish synagogue in the middle of Riverside County which is predominantly Roman Catholic (and the Jewish faith has always been anti-Christ who they don't believe in is their Messiah returned).

      (3) Why don't they ask Steven Spielberg and George Lucas who are of Jewish faith and far more wealthy than Mel Gibson?
    • Guy  •  22 days ago
      And what is the logic the demands Gibson 'prove' anything to a bankrupt Socal 'gogue?
    • VVV  •  San Francisco, California  •  25 days ago
      Why didn't they ask him before they filed for bankruptcy? Oh the irony.....".Help us Mel we fell down and can't get up"....
      No wonder he didn't answer......

      The Jews did initiate the violence done to Our Lord. The Romans carried it out. But mostly our sins crucified Our Lord!
