Deserves got nothing to do with it. Patton was well aware of the Semetic influence on the communists and also in the Western press that followed him around sniffing out every misstep they could "report" on him. Read excerpts from Patton's diaries. He knew. That's why he was silenced.
Patton was well aware of the Semetic influence on the communists
It's fairly well known that Antisemitism flourished under Stalin, who used it to expel Trotsky (a Jew). Even Khrushchev, said Stalin had long harboured negative sentiments toward Jews that had manifested themselves before the 1917 Revolution. Stalin also drew the line between a "Jewish faction" and a "true Russian faction" in Bolshevism. After expulsion of Trotsky, his heritage was exploited in the form of association "A Jew is a Trotskyist, a Trotskyist is a Jew". Since 1936 in the show trial of "Trotskyite-Zinovievite Terrorist Center", the suspects, prominent Bolshevik leaders, were accused of hiding their Jewish origins under Slavic names. This blatant discrimination was rapid across the red army, as they displayed a "growing obsession" with the presence of Jews in the military.

I believe that's what was implied.

Blatant discrimination? Like being run out of nations more than a hundred times?
