Mel Gibson is under fire again, accused of more anti-Semitism, this time from a Hollywood screenwriter who says he was the recipient of repeated hateful rants from the foul-mouthed star.

Joe Eszterhas, who was slated to write the screenplay for the Gibson project The Maccabees, wrote a scathing letter to Mel where he leveled the claim that Gibson “hates Jews,” called the Holocaust “horses**t” and threatened to have his ex killed.

Ezterhas wrote that Gibson was doing the movie “in an attempt to deflect continuing charges of anti-Semitism which have dogged you, charges which have crippled your career.”

He shockingly says that he now believes Gibson is truly anti-Semitic.

“I’ve come to the conclusion that the reason you won’t make ‘The Maccabees’ is the ugliest possible one. You hate Jews,” Ezterhas wrote in the letter obtained by The Wrap.
