Critique Hodes' implication that Jews are deserving of Zille's tweet because of her Jewish identity and the obligation placed on Jews to speak out against her tweet.
Hodes implies that by not speaking out against Zille's tweet, Jews are somehow deserving of tis horrendous tweet; specifically because Zille is Jewish. Is she not, also, say, female? English? A Capetonian?  Why impose the obligation onto Jews only? Why not attack any other group?  The truth is, there is no justification in supposing that the Jewish community needs to speak out simply because Zille is Jewish. After all, she did not speak as a Jew. Hode's contention is that Jews somehow deserved Mnxgitama’s racist tweet. That contention is in itself racist, and absurd.
