I really don’t think anybody had to do any hunting in this case.
It doesn’t seem like you were trying to be antisemitic or anything upon further inspection, but the phrasing and usage of the sarcasm tag is extremely ambiguous if not semantically incorrect. It initially reads as if “although I’m sure that’s just a coincidence” was specifically the part that the sarcasm is applied to, in which case it’d just be a blatantly antisemitic statement.
It’s a simple misunderstanding really, but this is the sort of situation where you should just edit the wording of your comment for clarity, rather than try to defend it and argue with people who are just trying to call out antisemitism when they see it.
I don’t know, but I sure hope this place doesn’t turn into another Beehaw, where people actively hunt for shit to get offended by.

I’m sure you’ll be fine as long as you don’t, word-for-word, spout off protocols of the elders of zion antisemitic shit.
“Oh, they’re all just JEWISH, of COURSE they want to kill babies!”
That’s not cool to say even as a “bit”.
Oh, for f**k’s sake, check my post and comment history.
Jesus, this is exasperating.
