  Mel Gibson is a raging antisemite. And when I say “raging”, I mean he’s on a whole other level like some kind of racist super saiyan. Just look at some of the shit he has said over the years, because it’s a lot.

    I was expecting something far worse with the “whole other level” and “racist super saiyan” but that article was really some run of the mill racism that is sadly still really widespread.

    I don’t excuse his attitude btw, it is despicable. It just would go unnoticed if he wasn’t a public figure.

      Idk where you live, but where I come from just one of these incidents would be unthinkable, let alone quintipling down on it. Also, there’s the way he said it, which obviously isn’t conveyed in text. Dude is fucking pissed that Jewish people have the audacity to exist. This isn’t like grandpa telling a racist joke at the New Years party, there is nothing but pure all consuming hatred in his voice. The audio for some of this is available from old new clips if you look for it, I just picked out an article for completeness sake. Search for “Mel Gibson recording” and set it to videos and see for yourself.
