So, respectfully, are we just going to say that because she’s Muslim, she’s not allowed to publicly criticize the government of Israel, or the excessive influence the government of Israel has over US policy, because someone somewhere will find some hint of some antisemitic trope?

Unfortunately, the answer to this question is basically “yes”.

It shouldn’t be so, but political realities in this country are such that “Israel” - broadly defined - is one of those “third rail” issues that have little room for nuance or contrary opinions from the “orthodox” unconditional-and-unquestioning-support position.
