MELOCAUST IGNORANCE by ELI ROTH AND TMZ NEEDS A WORD

Alright, racism abounds today concerning Jews and Mel Gibson‘s leaked rant tapes. In particular Eli Roth furthers a war that doesn’t even exist. I have just finished watching TMZ, that was kind of me. On TMZ, Harvey had Eli Roth actor of Inglourious Basterds turn up, fresh from the gym, still in gym clothes, promising he’d bash Mel Gibson‘s head in with a baseball bat, for racist comments towards Jews.

In fact, Eli says that Hollywood should start a Melocaust and bash Gibson’s head in. Let’s analyze this situation like mature, grown adults then.

1. Having never listened to Mel’s racist rant tapes (I’m too busy for fame hungry, gold digging, bored lovers who think its fun to leak tapes of their baby daddies, behaving badly–”games”, like Oksana Grigorieva demonstrates. However, medieval Hitchcock-esque mysogyny, deserves a woman’s slap, always!), personally though; Eli should have done the same thing and not listened to these tapes either.

2. Mel’s racist views, are inexcusable. Period. He needs counseling. Not to be stoned, by people thinking it smart to throw exactly the same rocks Mel did on those alleged tapes.

3. The holocaust did happen. If Mel Gibson denies that it did, it’s nobody’s issue, except Mel and his new counsellor he needs to get.

4. If the holocaust sickens Jews, Jewish supporters and humanitarians, like it sickens me; then that fact should stand alone, as a record, a witness and a benchmark for us all to act, on behalf of all human rights cases; past, present and future. Parts of Africa are the new genocidal holocaustic  sites of the world, Palestine too–not Mulhollland Drive, Mel’s address,  yet what are we doing for nations or conflicted peoples like this? Little. As a global citizen, because of the attention we the world have given the holocaust and its precious survivors and their descendants, I look to Jews to do something first for anyone afflicted or politically oppressed in the world, as this is what the holocaust taught us. Or should have, in terms of where human rights leadership from Jewish leaders, should be headed.

5. To demean the holocaust, by taking from it, and creating a word called “Melocaust” in order to vent hatred on one man, demeans all holocaust survivors and their descendants, with that word choice or creation. All because one celebrity man erred with his tongue, does not give anyone a right to think they are a hero by wanting to violently beat this mentally sick man up. 

6. If Eli Roth wants press, TMZ too, they should be smarter, and use their brains and try and extend an invitation to include Mel Gibson, on humanitarian strategies that create change for the good and that are actually news worthy and non racist. This would be a noble act of leadership and a win-win for love, acceptance and tolerance in the world. 

7. Hatred should never be excused, whether that be a Melocaust word or the Holocaust word. Both, are words created to describe hate. When love is the mature way forward, across any difficulty of racial blindness.

8. Two wrongs: like the Holocaust or Eli’s “Melocaust” sensationalism over a fallen man’s racist words–do not make a matter right. Valid. Justified. Or, attention worthy. When will men grow up in this town and not be addicted to a war of words, in a lust for fame? Honestly. 

9. If to frame yourself as a “humanitarian defender” of Jews, Human rights, and nonracist causes, means doing nothing for Human Rights cases existing in the world outside of Israel or Jewish communities–but becoming a ‘hero’ of the cause, by presenting your mug on TV, when another man falls or errs–what kind of Los Angeles men are we? Grow up. This behavior is that of fragile ego standing vultures, not wise American Eagles! There’s a better way. Love and tolerance is needed, to restore people blinded by hate and racism, but violence, a need to become a ‘hero’ is never an intelligent answer in solving such cases, and moving forward intelligently. 

These are my thoughts for TMZ’s Harvey and Eli Roth to consider in an effort towards Hollywood growing up in love, outside of the shallow terrain of a ‘popular’ yet ignorant sound bite for Television. The Jews I know, are smart, and are working towards the peace of Jews and Arab people too, as well as people who are temporarily deluded that they hate Jews, or Arabs, or any other race too. That’s the America, I want to be a part of.
