He stated: “Let us assume, as he claims, that essentially, from the point of view of Jewish morality, there is no objection to such marriage.” I believe that Ahad Ha-'Am's wording points to his disagreement with Nordau's assertion. but that he preferred not to dispute it, emphasizing instead the moral duty of the nationalist to be concerned about national survival and thus refrain from intermarriage. Ahad Ha-'Am, “ha-Musar ha-leumi,” 86–89.
