Empathie statt "backlash"

"Mel Gibson's new film 'The Passion of the Christ' may be reducing anti-Semitism, according to a new poll.

Not only is 'The Passion' not producing the much-feared anti-Semitic backlash, it has actually created an empathy for Jews, according to a poll released by the San Francisco-based Institute for Jewish and Community Research (IJCR).

Among the 1,003 adults recently polled nationwide about the film, 83 percent said it did not make them blame contemporary Jews for Christ's death; only 2 percent said the film made them more likely to hold today's Jews responsible; and 9 percent said the film made them less likely to do so."
