Someone’s membership of <identifiable tribe or social grouping> does not confer a specific additional moral obligation to defend a fellow member of their tribe/group more than they might deserve otherwise.

Indeed this myth is actively invoked by bigots & bullies in conjunction with a counterexample as a twisted justification for ongoing persecution.

I was not saying it does - I'm saying it's harder to go after someone for anti-Semitism when they're Semitic.

Although now that I've seen the document in question, I must say there's really nothing there anyway.
