[HANASHIR:1862] Re: Spielberg's Insult to Jewish Music



No, I disagree.

We need to get this chip off our shoulder that "the evil Christian world is
out to ignore us once again."  If it is insulting to you that Jewish artists
were not consulted to make the soundtrack for this movie, then the solution is
simple.  Don't go see it.  Don't buy the soundtrack.

We do not insist that movies provide Jewish actors for Jewish roles (Paul
Newman in "Exodus," Ben Kingsley in "Schindler's List"), yet the movies still
hold great meaning.

After all, if we are being insulted, the movie would have been called "Moses,
Ancestor to Jesus."
