THE FOLLOWING LETTER WAS WRITTEN BY STEVEN SPIELBERG
August 1st 2006
Dear Mr. Gibson,
I am one Jew who doesn't accept your apology today.
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. If 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".
Steven Spielberg
