Against genocide -> antisemitic

Against antisemitism -> islamophobic

Shame on you OP, shame on you.

Why shame on OP? They're saying that being a true progressive means being against all forms of hate.

I believe the comment you're replying to may have been using rhetorical devices that we humans call "humor" and "irony"

Getting irony or sarcasm over text is hard. I'm autistic and more often than not I simply can't "read" deadpan humor at all, I just take it at face value – much to the hilarity of my friends
