Even if you have both number 2 and 3 together so that you are not applying double standards to Jews, this amounts to "someone who supports politics that I don't like should be put in jail and forcibly removed from power".

The Blair Witch Project was a successful low-budget film, and it managed to achieve fame even without the help of internet video distribution!
