Steve,
Thanks for answering LittleDan's question. I was also interested in the answer, as you surmised.
I agree that the word "anti-Semitic" is thrown around an awful lot. My own church has been hit by charges of anti-Semitism, despite what I regard as its exceptionally clear commitment to Israel's well-being and high regard for Jews and Judaism. Why, Abraham is the "father of our faith" and both Jacob and Joseph are considers models for us all to emulate in the modern era.
Although I *really* should follow my own advice, I can't help but noting that some of the reason the Unification Church is hit by charges of anti-Semitism is that its leader has said that the Holocaust was caused by the Jews' indemnity for the death of Jesus.
