“Mel Gibson’s Next Religious Story”

Mel Gibson is set to make a movie about Judah Macabee, the hero of the Jewish holiday Chanukah.  Macabee led a revolt against the oppressive rule of the Syrian-Greeks in pre-Roman Judea.  Mel was attracted to the material because it features a Jew starting a war.

Mel wants the film to be completely historically accurate, except that instead of the Greek Army, Judah Macabee will beat Oksana Grigorieva.

With all Jewish characters, Gibson will make a film that critics and audiences might love, but he will still hate.

Mel says the action in this movie is going to knock your teeth out – and you deserve it.

It’s been said that Gibson sees Macabee as a Jewish version of William Wallace.  The title of the movie will be Brave Schnoz

“Violence Is the Question, Not the Answer”

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2011/03/facebook-deletes-palestinian-intifada-page-for-threats-of-violence/1

Facebook took down a 340,000 follower page promoting a 3rd Palestinian “intifada,” or uprising, against Israel, citing threats of violence in Jerusalem and calling for the killing of Jews. The group will put a new page up on MySpace, who will leave it alone because they’re happy just to have anyone at this point.
