35. was wondering the same thing what if someone brought up a Jewish writer simply on that basis however

it was indeed you who brought up this subject and seeing as how at least yesterday you had nothing but the authors name and that you seemed to presume some sort of bias based on that then what are we to think? Not to mention your attempt at turning this around falls quite flat as once again it was you who brought this up, now as to Dershowitz he is not criticized on the ethnicity of his name he is criticized on his past work
