Arbib is a surname of Sephardic Jewish origin, and this particular Arbib has a Twitter account which more or less identifies himself as Jewish.

I instantly identified the issue because I’ve seen it so many times before. When it comes to anonymous internet commenters, there’s really only one reason for someone to go out of their way to point out Jewishness.

Anyway, the offending comment is now dead.
