But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors.

If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
