Gibson Fails To Meet Jewish Leader
Mel Gibson has reportedly refused to meet a Jewish leader to apologise for his anti-Semitic remarks.
The actor made the infamous comments when he was pulled over for drink-driving earlier in the year, and had arranged to meet the president of the Zionist Organisation of America to discuss the happenings.
However, Morton Klein claims the actor changed his mind unexpectedly: "I called his publicist, told him I would be in Los Angeles for 10 days and would be willing to meet with Gibson privately, off the record. The publicist called back and said Gibson doesn't want to meet Jewish people after all. We've told our people not to support any of his projects."

Much like his bloody epic about the death of Christ, a new Mel Gibson production about the collapse of the Mayan civilization is angering members of the culture it depicts even before it hits the screen.
The "Passion of Christ" was accused by some of being anti-Semitic - long before Gibson's career-damaging outbursts against a Jewish policeman in Malibu this year.
Now indigenous activists in Guatemala, once home to a large part of the Mayan empire that built elaborate jungle cities in southern Mexico and northern Central America centuries ago, say his film "Apocalypto" is racist.
