It's a movie about the death of Jesus. He was executed by the Romans, and the ruling religious counsel of the jewish faith at that time made sure it happened that way. There is a difference between portraying the Sandherin as the killers of Jesus than the jewish people at large. His followers were also jews, the people who listened to him speak and loved him. As I haven't seen the movie, I can't say whether it is anti-semetic or not, but I suspect this is a case of over sensitivity.
Mel's dad is a loon-I always wonder what is wrong with holocaust deniers. He needs to go on a field trip to the Auchwitz memorial or to Therezein, if the photographic evidence isn't enough to convince him that it actually occurred.
