'Passion'
to be screened in Israel
New
York: Oscar winner Mel Gibson's film "The Passion of
the Christ" may finally be screened in Israel after a Tel
Aviv theatre decided to buck the prevailing anti-Passion
sentiment. According to IMDb, the controversial film was
earlier shunned by film distributors in Israel. Various
groups have asserted that the film could promote anti-Semitism
and members of the Israeli Knesset have urged that it should
be banned. However, a spokesperson for the Tel Aviv Cinemateque
has said that the theater finally decided to show the film
because it received numerous calls expressing curiosity
about it.
