Her crime was being a bloody idiot.
The way the piece read, it was a stupid inclusion of a line that didn't need including at all. It basically suggested that the reason the George Floyd died was because of tactics taught by Israel. So by extension, the riots that happened in the US were Israel's fault.
Criticism of Israel is not necessarily criticism of the Jewish people, however it certainly is borderline, so when the labour party are trying to clean up their act with regards to the genuine anti-semites that have been in the party previously under the idiot Corbyn, retweeting that was never going to end well.
I have a decent amount of personal experience working with Jewish people, as the firm I work for has a significant number of Jews working for them. I'd never worked with anyone wearing a Kippah before I worked there, and on my first day I'd seen about 20 on the floor alone.
Accordingly I've made a few friends, and have had many a (usually drunken conversation - ironically at a Christmas party) with them about Israel's actions, and the simple fact is that they are very very very defensive of Israel, as it's the only country in the world that they can 100% go to if a holocaust was to come again.
Criticism of Israel is not inherently anti semitic, (lord knows I disagree with a LOT of what they do), but it is used by dog whistle racists all the time.

The two criteria below are probably something to be considered for RLB's actions.
- Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.
- Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation.
