    Her response during the motion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFTNSGu_OoQ

    I think usage of that particular phrase was probably overkill or an oversight, but I agree with her that criticising the actions of Israel’s government is not Antisemitic.

    It reminds me of when a trans representative was censured for condemning restrictions on gender-affirming care using the phrase “you will have blood on your hands” and opponents jumped on that to say she was out of line. It gives me a strong impression that their motivations go far beyond the language used, using excessive pedantry as an excuse.
