A comment that stacks all of these pejoratives is unquestionably crossing into personal attack. This is not a borderline call.
I know how difficult it can be to respond neutrally when someone else is super wrong or you feel that they are. But commenters here need to pause when that happens, and then wait until they can respond neutrally, It's not easy, but we all need to work on it (including me). Otherwise we all go down in flames.
I don't think they said anything remotely like this.
Germany and other Europeans countries did when they failed to take a stand in 2014, and this is where it has led.
