Steven Speilberg’s reply to Mel Gibson
(This letter is attributed to Steven Speilberg – I cannot assure you whether or not it actually was written by him, but I find it interesting, nevertheless.)
I am one Jew who doesn’t accept your apology.
I don’t accept it, because you have spit on the graves of the
Goldwyns, the Warners, the Mayers, the Cohns, the Foxes, the
Thalbergs, the Selznicks, the Zukors and the thousands of other Jews
both living and dead who have made your questionable career possible.
When you do get out of “rehab” and recount your millions, please consider
how much of your fortune you would have if you had made your true
feelings known, when you were starting out in the film industry.
You are a despicable human being, one that doesn’t even have the sense
to realize that he has repeatedly bitten the hand that fed him.
Whatever you (or your publicity agents) say today, does not even begin
to redress your long standing theories about the Jewish people.
Apparently the apple does not fall far from the tree, as you haven’t
yet distanced yourself from your father’s views of the Holocaust,
Why should the Jewish community meet with you, or believe anything you
have to say now?
Your words are a thinly veiled attempt to admit that you really messed
up this time, and you want to cover yourself, so that you can continue
to be adored and further your revenue stream.
The truth is, you are an unreformed, unrepentant anti-semite of the
worst kind, and your hollow outreach is worth less than the price of
your next drink, which will surely find itself in your hands before
long. I’m buying.
Of course, if I am wrong, you could start by donating $1,000,000 today
to the State of Israel in her time of need.
Surely that is a small public relations price to pay for a man of your
stature who “honors all of God’s children”.
