If someone mentioned to Gibson that Jesus was a Jew, would it cause cognitive dissonance?

Yeah, purportedly Gibson said that, according to the article.
Yet, if a quote is not made in the post, the post is then antisemitic and depicable, promoting hatred.
I am waiting for an Edit, smartarse.
Originally posted by XanthosNZI am not in any way saying that the Jews caused WW2 - i think that is a totally absurd proposition. But i want to point out that it would not be logically incoherent for one group of Jews (say, in Switzerland or New York) to start WW2 and Jews as a whole to be the 'major victims'. I'm merely making a point about logic here. The best reply when someone says something idiotic like 'The Jews started WW2' is to simply point out the facts: Hitler, Mussolini, Hirohito and their henchmen started WW2.

The Jews were the major victims of World War 2, how in the hell were they also the cause of it (unless you claim they caused it by being oppressed).
Originally posted by dfm65The problem is not that one, but when an adult-child wants to overcome the attention deficit he/she had from mom and dad (or channel his/her rage due to some kind of abuse) by calling attention doing such remarks... in a way he/she can say later on "I was quoting what Mel Gibson said".
