I am not saying Jewish people are not deserving of respect. I am addressing those who were saying it seemed out of place to specify the fact that this family was Jewish.

By specifying, it serves to couch the conflict in terms the left can understand and often exploit for their own gain (racism, or any other -ism).

It makes it just that much harder for them to squirm out of taking responsibility for singling this family out if they have to choose between letting this little girl breathe freely (the horror) or picking on a Jew.
