In any event your premise is flawed as antisemitic tropes are used in the US all the time, even by members of the House of Representatives. No one goes to jail for them. Hell the New York Times printed two in the span of a month.
I don't have a "premise" in that post, other than providing background information, including rationales stated by other parties.
To frame someone who does that as an "Islamic apologist" is the equivalent of framing any neutral explanation of a Trump policy as an apology for white nationalism.
It is a frame which recognizes no neutral analysis, only condemnation or endorsement--you are doing one or the other. So if you are not condemning "Islam" then you are endorsing. (Again, see my post #35 above and the link in post #55 for more clarification about this style of "argument.")
Also, "Anti-Semitic tropes" are not the criterion here.
Do you have a link to any national newspaper publishing cartoons joking about the Holocaust? That would shut these Iranians up.
