Dear Mr. Rommel,
I appreciated your comment and now wonder if you will wish to withdraw it in view of the fact that I was born to a Jewish mother and thus by convention am as Jewish as Ben Shapiro, as were also my mentors Ludwig von Mises and Ayn Rand.

I bring up the fact that I am Jewish only in the face of antisemitism. Then I feel morally obliged to do so and to defend the right of Jews to the same individual rights as all other human beings. 
I feel a special obligation to do this based on the fact that my late wife’s parents, her brother, and even an 8-year old niece were murdered by the Nazis for nothing more than being Jewish.
I hope that you will rethink your position and learn to separate what you don’t like—things which it may be right to dislike—from the mere fact of someone’s being Jewish. Being Jewish or not being Jewish is simply irrelevant to the moral assessment of anyone.
