I am addressing you at a very troubled moment in this Congress and do not know how much attention you will be able to give me at this point.¹ Nevertheless, I have decided not to postpone what I have to say. A consciousness of my responsibility urges me to speak before the confusion increases. What I am going to deal with is the unambiguous demarcation of a kind of nationalism, a degenerate kind, which of late has begun to spread even in Judaism.
