ABSTRACT
The conclusion summarizes the antisemitism controversy. It treats this dispute as a stalemate: the Jews insisted on the right to maintain their cultural and religious individuality; the Germans insisted on complete assimilation and integration. This insistence appears even in the most liberal writers and supporters of the Jews. The only way to break the stalemate was through Zionism: the German insistence on unity, and the Jewish demand for difference, could both be maintained only if the homeland for Jews was outside Germany.
