Mel Gibson's Letter to Abraham H. Foxman
Mel Gibson wrote the following in response to Abraham H. Foxman's Letter of January 23, 2004 asking for a meeting to discuss how to deal with possible consequences of Mr. Gibson's film "The Passion of The Christ."
• ADL's Response to this Letter
Dear Mr. Foxman,
Please allow me to begin by thanking you for your latest missive, which as always, is expressed in the most lucid and eloquent of terms.
You are right in mentioning that “diplomacy by press-release is no diplomacy at all” and it is my sincerest of regrets that events conspired for us to just miss each other when we both recently happened to be in Orlando.
You are a man of integrity and a man of faith and I do not take your concerns lightly. It is my deepest belief, as I am sure it is yours, that all who ever breathe life on this Earth are children of God and my most binding obligation to them, as a brother in this waking world, is to love them.
I hope and I pray that you will join me in setting an example for all of our brethren; that the truest path to follow, the only path, is that of respect and, most importantly, that of love for each other despite our differences.

Yours with the kindest of regards,
Mel Gibson
