He derides me for my analysis, but it seems that analysis and advice is exactly what he (if he is geniune) must be seeking with this type of thread. There have been other times as well in which SpectralJulianIsNotDead starts topics about a current problem with his family. This isn't the first one by any means.
I can't recall them all, but I remember one about his siblings using marijuana all the time, another also about clashes of religion in his family, another about how his siblings only like to listen to The Beatles (this was at the same time when porkmarras and others were Beatle-bashing) and won't get jobs, and so on. And now we have the anti-semitic brother one with references to the Gospels and the Jewish conspiracy leading to the crucifixion of Christ thrown in for added vitriol potential.
Yeah, I know the story. Judas was pressured by the Jewish priesthood to sell out Jesus and they, in turn, being pressured by the Roman occupation, gave him up to the Romans. It was also a somewhat recent controversial motion picture, The Passion of the Christ. A movie I've never seen, and probably never will.
The Jewish community had a problem with Gibson's picture and were criticized for their criticism. Thing is, Gibson's father is a well-known anti-semite. And then, of course, Mel ranted later during his arrest for DUI in Malibu about Jews among other things, so maybe they have a valid point.
