From what I read, she attacked Israel and called them "occupiers" of Palestine. Basically, she doesn't know what's going on, but knows who's at fault.
I don't know a lot about her, but I keep seeing things pop up with her on social media.
Yes, she stated facts. That's not being anti-semetic.

Interested in hearing a breakdown of this if someone could please.
It's simple. Israel is a horrible racist country that is illegally occupying the West Bank. On top of treating their Arab citizens like ****, and openly talking about "the demographic problem" of having too many Palestinians around, in their native ****ing land.
Jews and Muslims think they have a holy claim to land in Israel (Muslims think its Palestine aka West Bank and Gaza Strip).
Right now Israel has all the power and are backed by the richest countries. They have a military occupation over the Muslims who live there and treat them very poorly.
Most sensible people think there should be two separate states and they should respect each other, but Israel wants all the land and to eradicate Islam from Israel. Its becoming very Hitler-esque
Israel and America have deep political ties. A lot of American politicians are bought out to support Israel and not speak badly on their occupation. The mainstream media will always ignore it though despite Israel/US politician corruption being a bigger reality than Russia/US politician corruption.

It's unfortunate that there are so many polarized views/opinions/etc circulating that it makes it hard for someone, like myself, to really know what's going on. It's annoying really.
I watched the video I posted above and remembered there was a thread about her on her. I watched the video and chuckled a lil about it's awkwardness. I knew it would probably get a reaction on here. Then I read things on twitter saying her PBS interview was a disaster and she said something anti semitic. After I read what she said, I had no idea how it was anti semitic (I wrote basically what I read.)
Israel is definitely an interesting topic and a long and complicated history. I should/need to educate myself about it, the conflicts and the political impacts it has on us. I've been pretty apathetic about it (I usually read a lot about things that interest me) mainly because I kind of got sick of religion all together.
If you guys know of good reads that are pretty objective and informative about Israel, I'd love to start informing myself better.

Just a couple of notes. A lot of people seem to conflate Arabs and Muslims. Arabs is a cultural identity. Some have fair skin, eyes and hair. Others have dark brown skin and features. And many in between. Similarly, some of them are Muslims, which is a religion. Others are Christians. Some Arab countries have a lot of Christians, like Lebanon at 30%.
I have a lot more to say about the subject of Israel, but I'll have to find the time. Currently typing on my phone in the dressing room while wearing a hazmat suit.

Pic of you in the hazmat suit, please. Haha
I think this a good starting point. The thing I've read about the most, or know the most about is Islam. I've personally never thought arabs necessarily = Muslims, but can see how those two can be lumped together. I had no idea Lebanon had such a high Christian percentage either. I know very little of Lebanon other than where it's located.

TIL what West Bank is, it's territory and inhabitants. Yeah, I know, pretty ignorant of me. I've read West Bank and heard it a 1000 times, but had no idea what it was referring to exactly until I took 5 minutes to look it up and read about it.
