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." In 2003 Moon gave a sermon at Arlington, [[Virginia]], describing the death of six million [[Judaism|Jews]] in the [[Holocaust]]: "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>
