Unificationists deny that they are anti-Semitic, yet the Church has been dogged by charges of [[anti-Semitism]] for many years, and in 1976 the American Jewish Committee published the report "Jews and Judaism in Rev. Moon's Divine Principle", asserting that "every time Rev. Moon mentions Jews or Israelites he portrays them collectively as reprobate, with evil intentions." As recently as 2003 Moon stated in a sermon at Arlington, [[Virginia]], that the death of six million [[Judaism|Jews]] in the [[Holocaust]] was a form of divine retribution: "Through the principle of indemnity Hitler killed 6 million Jews. That is why. God could not prevent Satan from doing that because Israel killed the True Parents."<ref>[http://www.unification.net/news/2003/news20030302_1.html Sermon] 2 March 2003</ref>

However, basic differences include a prohibition on [[suicide]] (classed by the church as a worse sin than [[murder]]), an international base (as opposed to one large, local community); minimal pressure to maintain membership, resulting in a 94% voluntary dropout rate in the years 1975 to 1995, a repudiation of the doctrine of [[Reincarnation]], and an God-centered ideological opposition to [[Marxism]].<ref>The church published ''Communism: A critique and counterproposal'' in the 1970s</ref>
