Seems conspiratorial.. never attribute malice to that which can be attributed to stupidity.

When reading the article she is actually on the right side:

"I believe that it is deeply antisemitic to conflate the actions of the Israeli government with Jewish people, not the least when Jewish peace activists worldwide are protesting these actions."

Probably assumed this was just a peace slogan.

Quiet everyone, David "someone should blow up the Ministry for Pacific Peoples" Seymour has something to say about dangerous rhetoric

The slogan isn’t calling for a genocide, it’s calling for freedom for Palestinians. That isn’t anti-Semitic. It’s just bad faith to conflate Palestinian human rights with a genocide against Israelis. Human rights aren’t a zero-sum game, everyone can have them.

Looks like a contrived political battleground. Pick your side folks there will be no nuance allowed.
