Correct punctuation?

This is a response to an argument..

"Exactly, different groups of people, but when it serves your point it is handy to accuse anti-Zionists of being anti-Semites"

My question is: is it correct that I didn't use a comma between when it serves your point and _it is handy to accuse anti-Zionists of being anti-Semites_?

Thanks.

It's OK as it is. Needs a period. Note that the whole statement is casually worded, in the style of spoken English.

eg
You are correct in speaking of different groups of people. However, when it serves your point you find it convenient to accuse anti-Zionists of being anti-Semites.
