Oliver Stone Apologizes for Holocaust Comment

Even if valid research proved that about 75% of the most influential people in the media were American Jews, by itself that would be meaningless. It would have to be established that all those people usually act in concert on policy or news stories involving past or current events. That is impossible to believe. Of the many Jews I know, almost all are emotionally supportive of Israel, but differ widely on the settlements, etc. Among my fellow Gentiles just a consideration of the horrors inflicted by the Nazis makes support for Israel understandable; that's why President Truman involved us to strongly there. Where we go wrong is turning support for Israel into a Crusade against Islam, or branding all Muslims as terrorists, or basing our foreign policy on Scriptures with regard to the Holy Land.

It is amazing how if you question anything involving Jews, you are automatically an anti-semite. Is there really a question as to who runs the American media? Yes, it's the Jews. In the Holocaust, 18-million people were killed and yet all we talk about are the six million jews. I'm tired of this bullshit about being PC.

The emerging pattern of anti-Semites' spewing the vitriol that they believe and then expecting to be forgiven and accepted back into civilized company because they apologize has got to stop. Were I not already sufficiently unimprssed with Stone's JFK movie or with his distorted view of history (no right-thinking person could believe that Hitler needs a "context"), this would surely be enough or me not to see his next film.

With that being said, why people always retrack what they said is peer pressure. They still believe it, but people in their camp who want to save their jobs tell them to. Not by choice. Stone is an Ass in my book, so is Mel hate is hate, black or white, Jew or Catholic.

My grandmother came from a family of 13 in Northern Ireland. I can tell you right now where they all lived and where their descendants now live, on either side of the Atlantic. My husband's grandmother came from a family of 13 in a shetel in eastern Poland (or Russia, depending on the year). His grandmother came to America and one of her younger sisters followed her. Everyone else is gone - brothers, sisters, spouses, children, all gone in one night after the Nazis invaded Poland. My son is due an awful lot of cousins, if the Holocaust didn't exist.

I don't equate Oliver Stone with Mel Gibson and his Holocaust-denying father. Maybe we do keep remembering the Holocaust because there are a lot of Jews in the media. Thank God. We should remember it, to keep it from every happening again. Ask the Armenians.

It is not being an bigot to question the world around you, even if those questions involve the Jewish race. Mr. Stone never expressed hate for Jews nor Nazi-sympathies. The article clearly states that he made the comments based upon the fact that Jews do represent a larger public/media voice than their numbers suggest they should. From there he made the assumption that this must be a reason as to why we, as Americans, seem to only focus upon the genocide of Jews in WWII and not the tremendous loss of other lives. The "more damage" that was caused was thought only in numbers, not in the horrific concept of genocide. Although, one must accept that the Russians, too, saw the atrocities of the German front to an incredible degree as well. If you do not understand the controversial, dynamic roles that the U.S.-Israeli relations has on the global political scene, then I suggest you thoroughly research U.S. history from a global perspective. It may not have been a wise statement to make, but it does not seal his "heart", as suggested, as an anti-Semitic.

It's disturbing to see how far incorrect Political Correctness has seeped it's way into the minds of Americans that a man is slandered, not for words of hate, but of curiosity.

it is true that hitler killed alot of jewish people more than "50 years ago" and universal media keeps remainding it, but who takes notes abuout today's palestinian holocaust performed by jewish people? which media dares to compare the amount of palestinian kids, women and elder killed by jewish hands since "40 years ago", against those in jewish holocaust?

Well now I know what not to watch on Showtime. In the past, it seems Stone has tried for historical accuracy and fact. This time, it sounds like he's playing with reality to push his own agenda. What a lousy thing to do!!

Wait...Oliver is Jewish. Someone is missing a fact or two here.

I believe in our right to free speech. Be careful! If his right to free speech is limited so might yours be limited. Just because his opinion is different from yours , doesn't mean he is wrong. It is certainly within his right to voice his opinion. It seems that everytime someone voices an opinion that is not popular with general population , they are slapped with a label of "anti". We are all anti something!
