Mr. Weparchowski is correct, this case is made by anti-semites.

How would you know with absolutely certainty that this particular
person is indeed "Jewish"? You do not know and you can't know. It's
impossible to know for a variety of reasons.

More importantly, just because someone is a member of an ethnic group
does not prevent them from writing negative unjustified criticisms of
their group, be they British, Jewish, Spanish, or Martian.

In other words, just because an author happens to be a member of an
ethnic group does not automatically guarantee that whatever he/she
writes about the group is accurate.
