I really fucking hate that "encouraging antisemitism" take.
I have personally, literally punched Nazis and the only other people I know of who have also done this have been communists and anarchists. I have stood proudly beside Jewish comrades for a thousand causes including stopping the genocide.
What liberals like her truly hate is that we take their vaunted moral universalism seriously, while they see constant hypocritical "pragmatic" reasons for cowardly betraying everything every committed liberal from Robespierre to John Stuart Mill stood for.
Because doing anything else would be hard. They might lose. That wouldn't be entertaining. It wouldn't be good narrative framing.
It shows in how we love the great liberal heroes while she makes videos about how they were like super mean to girl boss princess who was irl trying to invent the Black Hundreds a century ahead of schedule.
I don't hate Natalie. I quite like her, we have very similar interests. But I have absolute contempt for her as an agent.
Not actually something I'm very proud of. I don't like violence, it ruins the cuticles.
But it had to be done.
