LOL I saw this one coming..

One leading Catholic theologian in the group said the script was “one of the more anti-semitic documents most of us have seen for a long time”.
Gibson responded swiftly and fiercely. “Neither I nor my film are anti-semitic,” he said in a statement. “Nor do I hate anyone, certainly not the Jews. They are my friends and associates, both in my work and my social life. Anti-semitism is not only contrary to my personal beliefs, it is also contrary to the core message of my movie.”
Gibson and Icon also threatened to sue the committee that evaluated the script.
Perhaps surprisingly, Gibson did not appear to make any attempt to allay the fears of mainstream Catholic and Jewish groups about potential anti-semitism in the film, for instance by showing it to them.
