Apart from a pint of tequila, I don't know what got into Mel Gibson when he decided to favour the Los Angeles police with an anti-Semitic rant.
I don't know what whacko religious convictions inspire the Aussie heart-throb, or whether he genuinely believes that the "f------ Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world".
But whatever Mel was having the other night was powerful stuff; and, you know what, my impression is that a lot of folks across the developed world are secretly having a snifter of the same. Across the country there are sober people who would never dream of calling an LA police officer "sugar tits", or swinging like an ape from the bars of their cell. Yet these people seem to share the essentials of Mel's analysis of the Middle East.
Sad Commentary.
