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.
