While it is technically true that you can criticize Israel without being anti-Semitic, that's seeming to be more and more like arguing for the general right to abortion because of rape/incest pregnancies exist in very rare cases.

She was fired after a concerted right wing mob started a cancel crusade (yeah, cancel culture is apparently fine if it's for people you don't like or who happen to have supported someone other than Mommy Israel in the past) after they found out she was pro-palestinian while in college.

Emily Wilder supported Palestinian relief efforts and Palestinian rights while in college, and did a teaching assistant job for a summer program that worked with Palestinian high school students. And RW loons used cancel culture to get her fired.
