I think it's insane for people who have not seen the movie to be in an uproar about it. The majority of these anti-Semitic comments have been prior to the movie's release. Since it's release, I haven't heard anyone talking about it who called it anti-Semitic--and I've heard a lot of people talking about it while I flip through radio stations in the morning driving.
I haven't seen it yet myself. But I think it's like saying that a movie is anti-Caucasion because it depicts the atrocities committed against a Black man by a group of White men. A rational person is not going to judge an entire group of people by the actions of a few.
But, anyway, your point seems valid to me (keeping in mind I have not seen the movie and am speculating). Mel Gibson made a movie based on the teachings of his church. If there's a problem, it's probably with the church and not simply with the movie itself, it's just the movie is bringing the issue that already existed to light.
