We all make mistakes. Who among us can honestly claim that he has never downed a bottle of Sauza, speeded down the Pacific Coast Highway, and inquired as to the ethnicity of his arresting officer? But the PC vigilantes want to sidestep that inconvenient truth. Instead, they want us to focus on an appalling accusation: that Mel Gibson -- speaking through a breathalyzer -- blamed the Jews for starting all the world's wars. Would such a statement constitute a non sequitur? Certainly. But is it so very wrong, so morally repugnant, that it merits accusations of anti-semitism? Well, yes, actually. Or at least it would, if not for another inconvenient truth. Mel Gibson is not an anti-Semite. He is a pro-Semite. Mel Gibson loves Jews -- and not in a creepy, Michael Jackson- Macauley Culkin kind of way, either. We have compelling evidence, which we present below, unedited and irrefutable. Our motives in so doing are not pecuniary (though surely there would be no sin if they were). Rather, we are dispassionately committed to the search for robustly simulated truth. Any person who, confronted with our evidence, persists in slurring Mel Gibson, clearly seeks only to Join us. Seek the truth. Embrace the truth. Do you have photographic evidence of your own? Email us at truth@mellovesjews.com. Exhibit 1: This rare historical photo, circa 1938, shows Mr. Gibson in the Amsterdam residence of Ms. Anne Frank. As can be clearly seen in the photo, Mr. Gibson is helping Ms. Frank develop her wonderful writing skills. We further believe that the beverage he is enjoying is a "tequila sunrise ", but the actual variety of alcoholic bevarage could not be confirmed beyond historical doubt. 
Exhibit 2: This rare version of the famous photo of the Camp David Accords is almost never used by the mainstream media. The more well-known version was taken right before this photo and unfortunately missed Mr. Gibson as he was bending down to refill his beverage (several well-placed sources from the Carter Administration pinpoint the beverage as a "Tom Collins") and to re-pop his collar. However, the peace accords would never have succeeded without the intervention of Mr. Gibson on behalf of his beloved Israel. (1978)  Exhibit 3: In this photo, circa 1944, Mr. Gibson can be seen discussing both the scientific and ethical repurcussions of the Manhattan Project with Mr. Albert Einstein. It is widely believed among Mel-istorians that the discussions pictured here figured prominently during the development of the "Mad Max" movies. 
Exhibit 4: Unknown to even the most ardent folk/rock connoisseurs, the original tandem of Simon & Garfunkel did not, in fact, include Art Garfunkel. Demos cut by the original duo of Simon & Gibson in 1964 were destroyed by "parties not identified." This rare lithograph of the album cover is all that remains of a near-legendary pairing. (ca. 1964)  Exhibit 5: Though few so-called "Astronomers" are willing to admit to the fact, it is widely recognized among Mel-istorians that Mr. Gibson and the great Carl Sagan were lifelong friends. They could often be found debating the finer points of cosmological phenomena deep into the night over a couple of "sloe gin fizzes". Mr. Gibson is also known to have advised Mr. Sagan in the creation of his famous phrase, "billions and billions". Mr. Sagan's original choice, "millions and millions", was deemed by Mr. Gibson as "too fucking small". 
Exhibit 6: During Gibson's early years in film, he was a charter member of the Hollywood "Rat Pack". Gibson and Sammy Davis Jr. became "best mates." So close was their relationship that Frank Sinatra took to calling calling Gibson, "The Other Jew". Gibson's playful retorts of "fuck off, you dirty wop bastard," were known to cause much mirth among the other Rat Packers. 
Exhibit 7: Mr. Gibson's friendship with Henry Kissinger hit the rocks following a major philosophical disagreement over the nature of love. Kissinger famously asserted that the greatest aphrodisiac was, in fact, power, and not, as Gibson insisted, "calling her sugar tits." 
Exhibit 8: Gibson conferring with Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel. It is not widely known that it was at Gibson's suggestion that Wiesel shortened the name of his legendary opus from its original, working title, "Oy, Such a Night."  Exhibit 9: This AP photo from 2004 shows Mr. Gibson presenting the Harvey Fierstein Lifetime Achievement Award for Excellence by a Gay Jewish Performer to Harvey Fierstein.
