California – Faced with growing outrage over his anti-Semitic remarks when arrested, Mel Gibson offered a second apology, this time specifically begging the forgiveness of Jews and asking for meetings with Jewish leaders who might help him find “the appropriate path for healing.”

The new statement, followed an earlier apology that acknowledged “despicable” remarks, but never specifically mentioned their anti-Jewish tenor.
“There is no excuse, nor should there be any tolerance, for anyone who thinks or expresses any kind of anti-Semitic remark,” Mr. Gibson said in the statement.
He continued, in part: “I want to apologize specifically to everyone in the Jewish community for the vitriolic and harmful words that I said to a law enforcement officer the night I was arrested on a D.U.I. charge. I am a public person, and when I say something, either articulated and thought out, or blurted out in a moment of insanity, my words carry weight in the public arena.”
He went on to say he wished “to take it one step further,” and meet with Jewish leaders for a “one-on-one discussion.”
Zul er gein vee feffer vakst! No apologies, no meetings, he meant every word he said, and we know it.

Yes! We always knew, that the BEST screenwriters available, are indeed, in Hollywood!
This post, is a great example!
I think we should accept his “apology”. However, we now know who we are dealing with and we should treat him as such.
I Hope they dont give him that meeting he is an anti-semite he only thing about himself.
It is crystal clear as daylight that this vicious anti-semite “apologized” in order that Jewish hollywood not kick him out of their fraternity. He is a full fledged anti-semite. ADL does not have the courage to tell Gisbson he is an anti-semite.
