They didn't warn her over her social media posts on Israel. They warned her over her messages targeting specific people, who complained to the police about harassment. Important difference.

Anti-Zionist Jews are a very, very small minority. They're fringe. The fact of the matter is that Israel is closely associated with Jews because it is the Jewish homeland. That's why antisemitism spikes around the world when violence flares up in Israel - because people hold all Jews responsible for what happens there.
While someone can logically be anti-Zionist without being antisemitic, we're not dealing with logical arguments. This isn't a philosophy class. This is the real world. And the inconvenient truth for many on the left is that there is a significant overlap between the anti-Zionist and antisemite circles on the Venn diagram. Most people just don't want to confront their unconscious biases about Jewish people.
"I visited Israel, talked to a few people, so now I'm an expert on the longstanding and complex conflict so I'm going to write a completely one-sided diatribe against Israel."
Did I capture it?
I don't suppose you've thought about the possibility that the people he's "interviewing" are saying exactly what they know will generate a response because it's obvious he's not an actual journalist and is just looking for gotcha moments for his social media feeds.
Then of course there's the fact that he could easily have talked to hundreds of soldiers who didn't say what he wanted, and he's just cherry-picked the small number of soldiers that give him what he wants for his social media feeds.
But that would require people to think critically. Or at least just think.
Zionists don't enforce their will with the barrel of a tank. They protect their nation with the barrel of a tank. Big difference.
100,000 Jews were killed in pogroms between 1918 and 1921. And yes, the purges were absolutely about Jews. They just hid their antisemitism by focusing on Zionism as the target (sound familiar?). But it was nothing but good old antisemitism: The Jews are a threat to Communist Russia because they're greedy cosmopolitan capitalists.
No, what's happening in Gaza is nothing like the Warsaw Uprising.
Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005. Pulled out every single soldier and uprooted 9000 settlers. The people of Gaza responded to that act of good faith by putting Hamas in charge. Hamas violently overthrew their political rivals, murdered them all, and then began launching rockets into Israel. That's why Israel implemented a blockade and fenced the place in. And Oct 7, 2023, was a demonstration of exactly why that was necessary. That attack would have happened much earlier and on a much larger scale if there were no blockade in place.
It's pretty clear from what they're saying that it was her comments targeting people that were the problem, not posts about Israel. She doesn't even deny it, she's just pissed off they complained to the police that she was harassing them.
