Mel Gibson called Winona Ryder, who is Jewish, an "oven dodger".
This was the moment after he asked her 'Oh wait, am I gonna get AIDS?' because the friend she was with was gay.
"If you get raped by a pack of n******, it will be your fault,"
- Mel Gibson to his partner
Mel Gibson once said he opposed women as priests because "men and women are just different. They're not equal."
When asked about his Catholicism, Mel Gibson stated that it would mean a place in heaven for him; admitting he thought his wife who is "a saint" and "better than I am" would go to hell because she's refused Catholicism and that's what he believes as a Catholic.
Mel Gibson was caught in a recording saying he would get his partner deported by "reporting her to the fucking people that take fucking money from the wetbacks"
Later admitting he broke her teeth with his fist, twice, while she held their child, because "you deserved it".
"I'll put you in a fucking rose garden you cunt,"
"You need a fucking bat in the side of the head,"
"You're a fucking whore. Now, I own you."
- Mel Gibson to his partner in recording
I believe people can redeem themselves. They can genuinely approach the people they harmed and repair the harm. Mel Gibson never did that. Today he calls the people asking him about this "annoying".
I remember that moment when Mel Gibson (and Vince Vaughn) were visibly shook with anger at Meryl Streep's speech calling out Trump's misogyny and bullying.
We remember when Mel Gibson starred in a film by an alt right director playing cops who brutalize Latinos for laughs (cracking a neck with boot) then blaming being held accountable on a cancel culture witch hunt.
We remember Mel Gibson refusing to include any Jewish scholars for Passion of the Christ, ignoring Catholic guides for depicting it, then making one of the most antisemitic films in history. Jews as grotesque and eternally cursed with bloodlust for money.
In his film, Apocalypto, Mel Gibson championed Christianity by reviving myths that were used to justify genocide of 75M Native Americans, including 200K Maya in Guatemala—helping to introduce white supremacist propaganda to a whole new generation.
Mel Gibson, when asked about his views on gay people, told a Spanish newspaper, pointing to his ass, "this is only for taking a shit". When asked for apology by GLAAD, Gibson replied "when hell freezes over. They can fuck off."
Mel Gibson's religious sect isn't exactly Catholic like 63M Americans, it's part of a cult group consisting of 50-100K who reject the Second Vatican reforms, which included the lifting of the antisemitic belief that Jews were guilty of deicide (killing of God).
And even among them, Mel Gibson belongs to an even smaller fringe group, independent of them, with maybe hundreds of members.
When asked who inspired him for Passion of the Christ, Mel Gibson named Anne Catherine Emmerich, a German nun who believed Jews strangled Christian children for their blood, to ceremonially use it to conjure evil powers aka blood libel.
In addition, Mel Gibson's spiritual muse, Anne Catherine Emmerich, also believed that Noah's son Ham started all of the "the black, idolatrous, stupid nations" on Earth, referring to Africa. This notion was also used to justify slavery of Africans as God's will.
Neo nazis have posted this thread to their pages, directing people to defend Mel Gibson. Here is one with 22K followers quoting Gibson, who used the same phrase to claim a journalist was hiding that he was Jewish. Here, Keith Woods "exposes" me as a Jew.
Here is when Mel Gibson claimed a journalist's question to him about his misogyny, racism, antisemitism and homophobia was invalid because he suspected he had "a dog in this fight" aka that the reporter should disclose if he was Jewish or gay.
Mel Gibson's chosen star for his life's work, Jim Caviezel, just delivered Mel Gibson's Braveheart speech (calling people to fight and die, with Christ as their swords) at a Q anon convention—an epicenter of far right antisemitic conspiracy theories.
Hey @corneliusuliano is casting a Mel Gibson what you dreamed of when you wrote Boys of Summer?
Whenever I close my eyes, no matter what I am doing, it's as if images of pieces of Palestinian children are burned into the inside of my eyelids.

The vast majority of this entire planet are demanding an end to this, and won't stop. As our illegitimate leaders continue to ignore us, the more we will all learn the lie of neoliberal democracy.

A lie I'd much rather show with the cost of making a meme, not the cost of a Palestinian father meeting a missile because he ventured out to find grass or leaves to feed his family.
By June 19, 2024, 37,396 people had been killed in the Gaza Strip since the attack by Hamas and the Israeli invasion in October, 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, as reported by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
The Ministry's figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO.
Why does it sometimes feel like hardcore Zionists WANT to fuel antisemitism?
Well, imagine a pharmaceutical company pumping pollution into the air, while it manufactures and sells the medicine for that pollution.
That's why. 🧵
What is the goal of using our synagogues to sell occupied Palestinian land, especially in Gaza, West Bank & East Jerusalem when you can just rent a hall for your crime?

What is the goal of using our Jewish biblical texts to openly call for genocide of civilians? To put it on Tik Tok? To mock children and women with their underwear in their destroyed bedrooms collapsed over their dead bodies?

The ADL is the largest private police trainer in the US, helping along mass incarceration & slavery of Black people. Sometimes with Israeli assistance. And including the dept that killed Mike Brown in Ferguson. Less than a year after the murder they honored St Louis police, casting them as the victims of violence 🧵
When the grand jury in the Michael Brown killing case refused to indict Ferguson cops, the ADL defended their “integrity”.
When Eric Garner’s killers weren’t indicted, the ADL did similar and celebrated their relationship with the NYPD.

When Reggie Bush connected the struggle of Black Americans and Palestinians (whose forces the ADL connects in trainings) they literally told him to shut up and play football.
