On its Web site, the National Association of Evangelicals recently posted a statement about "The Passion," which included a passage that rankled some Jewish leaders:'There is a great deal of pressure on Israel right now, and Christians seem to be a major source of support for Israel. For Jewish leaders to risk alienating 2 billion Christians over a movie seems shortsighted."

Hmm, I wonder why some Jewish leaders were "rankled." Oh, wait, it's pretty clear. Maybe it's because some Christians are basically saying, "Look, admit you killed Jesus or we're gonna whack your homeland." Now, I know plenty of people I like who are, shall we say, opposed to the prevalent Jewish view on Israel. But I don't know many people who would change their view on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict based on what the ADL said about a movie. Man, that's craven if I've ever heard of it. The only thing more sickening about that comment was the arrogance of these people to assume they speak for all Christians.
