‘Dark Knight’ star’s apology over Jews-in-Hollywood comment rejected

British actor Gary Oldman has apologized to the Anti-Defamation League and Jewish rights group the Simon Wiesenthal Center for his remarks that Hollywood is “run by Jews” and his defense of actor Mel Gibson who made a notorious anti-Semitic rant after being arrested for drunk driving in California. The ADL, however, dismissed his apology as “insufficient,” saying Oldman’s remark “has a very familiar sinister ring to it that is the anthem of bigots and anti-Semites everywhere.” The actor acknowledged that his “insensitive” remark in a Playboy magazine interview “may indeed contribute to the furtherance of a false stereotype.”
