Terrible Jews e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Now, there are two ways of meeting folly. One is to attack it with reason and argument, and the other with satire and humor. Reason and argument are as effective against foolish ness as a club is against a feather pillow. You can knock it as hard as you please but it remains the same old pillow, and only the wielder of the club suffers. But satire is a nice pointed sword, and with the first onslaught you scatter the feathers to the winds. The slandered have no better weapon against the slanderer than satire, and the best technique is the gentle art of going the other fellow one better. If he says You lie from the moment you wake until you go to sleep at night, mur mur softly, Ah, my dear friend, if you but knew that I lie all night as well! If he insists that you are full of wickedness and malice, tell him in the most approved goat-getting style that you have just finished your task of stealing pennies from blind men and tomorrow is your day for making sandwiches of boiled babies. Don't contradict him or show anger, for the most of the world believes with Shakespeare that it is the galled jade that winces, but add folly to the slanderer's folly until the whole structure of hate and silliness crumbles through its own weight.
