Critics of The Passion were very vocal about the film's potential for stirring up anti-semitism. Of course, that anti-semitism never really materialized. In a previous post I noted that only three incidents of anti-semitic violence were reported. Thanks to Powerline, I found out that one of those incidents was apparently faked. Infinite Monkeys and Powerline gives you all the details, including some good information from the LA Times.
The point I made in my original post still stands. The claims of anti-semitism in this film were, at best, overblown and at worst, driven by a political agenda determined to see it fail.
