The Difference
(Jerusalem Post) Saul Singer - Look what a wonderful job we Jews have done publicizing Mel Gibson's movie, "The Passion." Only we could take a film of unrelenting torture - by all accounts not a pleasant experience - entirely in Aramaic and Latin, and turn it into one of the best-selling movies of all time. "For two hours," Dennis Prager wrote after seeing an advance screening in October, "Christians watched their Savior tortured and killed. For the same two hours, Jews watched Jews arrange the killing and torture of the Christians' Savior." Prager's point is critical; there may be only one film on the screen, but Jews and Christians are seeing entirely different films.
