I was a baby, but I'm sure wonk can confirm- I think the Kennedy/Vatican thing was a new piece of hate- namely a Catholic will listen to what the Pope wants above what the country needs. I'm not aware there was a history of such hate.
On the other hand it seems with the new stuff, she isn't being hit for saying we shouldn't be loyal to Israel. She is being hit for the thought that Jews have always been accused of such misplaced loyalty, and that is what she is playing into. It seems clear to me that she was talking about people in politics not being beholden to allegiance to Israel, not that we can't trust Jews for that reason.
That said she should get the fuck up to speed and clean up her shit. (And this sock right here think she is an anti-semite so know- I got my eyes on her)
