This is what he considers antisemitic for context:
She’s right to be against the genocide, but claiming “this conflict is THOUSANDS of years old” doesn’t make any sense. Zionism got its start in the late 19th century
She’s just a lib who is trying her best. You can tell because she thinks signing petitions is a meaningful action.
Settler colonialism isn’t a topic they would normally oppose unless they see 100s of examples of children bleeding out.
Much easier for them to understand it as a holy war where one side went overboard than understanding Zionism as the modern incarnation of manifest destiny or lebensraum.

“Vegan” Zionists are unfortunately not as uncommon as you’d think…
The first big-ish vegan YouTuber I stumbled across turned out to be misogynistic and transphobic. Like, way more than the average Westerner. It was kinda jarring after most of the vegans I’d met IRL, all but one of whom were lovely.
Calling for genocide based on diet is an actual thing. See any reddit comment thread about dog meat
I can’t imagine the type of mindset it takes to think that Palestinians are less worthy of life then animals.
I notice that, believe it or not, sometimes veganism attracts the “facts and logic” kind of people who can come to somewhat of a principled, philosophical understanding as to why they should support veganism by thinking it out for a bit, but in that thought process, they forget that veganism is also fundamentally rooted in opposing oppression systemically. It’s not a coincidence that radical animal liberation orgs tend to be explicitly leftist or even simply that leftism and veganism oftentimes go hand-in-hand.
I was semi-active in some animal liberation circles and the amount of Zionists and “centrists” (“noo don’t cut XYZ off, they are a good activist, can’t we put politics aside???”) is disgusting. But while it has its heart in the right place opposing animal commodification, vegan activism has always been thoroughly lib, so not exactly surprising.
