From Steven to Mel

The following letter was written by Steven Spielberg to Mel Gibson I’m told…

August 10th 2006

Dear Mr. Gibson,

I am one Jew who doesn’t accept your apology today. I don’t accept it, because you have spit on the graves of the Goldwyns, the Warners, the Mayers, the Cohns, the Foxes, the Thalbergs, the Selznicks, the Zukors and the thousands of other Jews both living and dead who have made your questionable career possible.

When you do get out of “rehab” and recount your millions, please consider how much of your fortune you would have if you had made your true feelings known, when you were starting out in the film industry.

You are a despicable human being, one that doesn’t even have the sense to realize that he has repeatedly bitten the hand that fed him. Whatever you (or your publicity agents) say today, does not even begin to redress your long standing theories about the Jewish people. Apparently the apple does not fall far from the tree. If you haven’t yet distanced yourself from your father’s views of the Holocaust, why should the Jewish community meet with you, or believe anything you have to say now.

Your words are a thinly veiled attempt to admit that you really messed up this time, and you want to cover yourself, so that you can continue to be adored and further your revenue stream.

The truth is, you are an unreformed, unrepentant anti semite of the worst kind, and your hollow outreach is worth less than the price of your next drink, which will surely find itself in your hands before long. I’m buying.
Of course, if I am wrong, you could start by donating $1,000,000 today to the State of Israel in her time of need.
Surely that is a small public relations price to pay for a man of your stature who “honors all of God’s children”.

Steven Spilberberg
New Rochelle, NY

    Steven,

    When Gibson decides to make that movie about Judah Maccabbee, he can let you direct it. That’s only if he really wants to turn a new leaf!

    “Jewish guilt” Damn he’s good!

    Ed, I think your suggestion is perfect! (If Steven will cease to encourage the drinking; if he is looking for “good-will”, he needs to give it. I know; not fair. It is how it is, fair or not.)

  3. actually, Spilberberg or Silberberg, as the email states, rather than Spielberg. See snopes on this point. Steven Spielberg does not live in New Rochelle — at least not the famous one.

    Wow! Good catch Josh. Amazing how much gets past us when we’re not paying careful attention!
    Really like your site, you seem one dedicated to teach.

    So what if not the real Steven Spielberg.

    Gibson probably doesn’t read this blog anyway. He sounds more of an Al JAZEERA GUY to me.
