| The signatories of all these documents are failing to come to terms with each other or with their opposition - the anti-semites themselves. Equivocation is inevitable when you let the anti-semites define the terms, and these competing definitions are worse than a red herring: they stipulate with the anti-semites that Judaism has been replaced. We call on all the signatories to either repent and return to Torah Judaism, or else assimilate to mainstream culture, consider themselves mere semites, "cut off from the covenant", and cease their efforts at redefining Judaism according to their crafty rationalizations in order to satisfy their wandering desires and ignore their prophets. They are promoting anti-semitism, by choosing to deny the covenant and promote enlightenment rationalism in a manner that many find contemptible. If they are held in contempt, they ought to start by blaming but themselves, and choosing to repent. | The signatories of all these documents are failing to come to terms with each other or with their opposition - the anti-semites themselves.
