ADL Goes Gunning for Heeb
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today expressed outrage at a shocking parody in the winter 2004 issue of Heeb Magazine that plays on the recent controversy surrounding Mel Gibson’s film “The Passion of the Christ.”
“Heeb Magazine’s irresponsible attempt at parody is deeply offensive and blasphemous to both Christians and Jews,” said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. “There is a point when parody crosses the line into tastelessness. With this issue, Heeb not only crosses that boundary but engages in highly destructive anti-Christian themes that are both insensitive and ill-timed.”
Totally surreal. (c/o Protocols)
i’ll be more interested to hear Heeb’s response to this. this begs the question, is all press good press? sorry – this one’s gotta hurt.
What’s interesting to me is that it’s the ADL defending Christians from Jews.
I really, really hate that magazine, but people need to chill the fuck out. Tasteless or not, it’s just a parody. And the only people who read that rag are jews anyway.
seriously. foxman needs to get back in his jar of formaldehyde and stay there. what’s the point of being jewish if you’re not going to have a sense of humor?
yeah, and what’s the good in being the antichrist if you can’t have fun with it?
“For ye, brethren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judea are in CHrist Jesus: for ye also have suffered like thing of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
“Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us [the Christians]; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men [ie., the Jews are inhuman]:
“Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost [ie., the Jews are cursed].
“But we, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
“Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I paul, once and again; but Satan [ie., the Jews] hindered us.”
