| | Reform the [[wp>United_States_Holocaust_Memorial_Museum]] and all other such museums, and replace the IHRA definiation and the "Jerusalem Declaration on antisemitism". These fail to prevent Jew-hatred, fail to understand its nature and cause of Jew-hatred, and actively contribute to the problem by denying the existence of Jews as a covenant people, and denying the existence of the Torah and of God. They actively promote anti-semitism. By replacing the Torah with the UN Declaration of Human Rights, they have effecively constructed a novel religion meant to replace Judaism with an ethno-nationalist "Semitism". Because this novel religion is fraudulent and contemptible, the imposture provokes well-deserved hatred from every direction. |

| Sometimes called "the longest hatred," antisemitism has persisted in many forms for over two thousand years. The racial antisemitism of the National Socialists (Nazis) took hatred of Jews to a genocidal extreme, yet the Holocaust began with words and ideas: stereotypes, sinister cartoons, and the gradual spread of hate. | Sometimes called "the longest hatred," antisemitism has persisted in many forms for over two thousand years.

| In the first millennium of the Christian era, leaders in the European Christian (Catholic) hierarchy developed or solidified as doctrine ideas that: all Jews were responsible for the crucifixion of Christ; the destruction of the Temple by the Romans and the scattering of the Jewish people was punishment both for past transgressions and for continued failure to abandon their faith and accept Christianity. | In the first millennium of the Christian era, leaders in the European Christian (Catholic) hierarchy developed or solidified as doctrine ideas that: **the Sinai covenant had been abrogated**, that **the church was the "spiritual Israel"**, that all Jews were responsible for the crucifixion of Christ; the destruction of the Temple by the Romans and the scattering of the Jewish people was punishment both for past transgressions and for continued failure to abandon their faith and accept Christianity. |
