I find it hard to see how accusing someone of being like a Nazi would be anti-semetic. There isn't enough context here for me to really know what's going on, but he isn't in any way approving of anything the Nazi's did, in fact he is condemning both the reporter and the Nazis. And it doesn't seem like the religion of the reporter makes any difference to the interpretation of the remark. As for apologizing, it usually good practice to apologize when someone is upset regardless of the actual circumstances, so there he is being stupid. It rarely hurts to apologize, and usually makes people happier.
