Well, the idea of interventionism was developed in the first place from the desire to prevent what happened to the Jews during the Nazi period from ever happening again. It's not a long logical leap from understanding that to seeing disagreement with a policy of nonintervention as a form of bigotry or indicative of a bigoted attitude.
In this case an incorrect assumption, but I think it's kind of understandable because there is a reason for these associations.
