Under Noahide Laws, it is especially "blasphemous" (and thus punishable with death?) to strike a Jew because they have a special relationship with god that non-Jews must respect.  Why is it worse to hit one kind of person rather than another? Are the punishments harsher for hitting a Jew than a non-Jew? 

The Jewish people are eternally "betrothed" to Him to glorify His Name — sometimes in strange ways — among their fellow creatures. The world has an obligation to respect that. It is especially sinful, because it is especially blasphemous (all else being equal), to wrongly strike a Jew, for instance.  (Dallen, 2003, p. 244)
