Yeah, I think that woman has a pretty bad take, and it is hard that many otherwise progressive people have a wrong-headed and harmful view about Israel/Palestine. 

To try to be charitable to her, I think these conversations are especially difficult to have outside of Israel without knowing and trusting the person. So often - in fact, on this very thread, though I've blocked all the relevant posts - people's expressions of solidarity for the Palestinians are just ways of signaling coded antisemitism. So I wonder if her guard was raised because she was worried you were antisemitic? I don't know though, that's a complete guess, I don't know how well you know this person. 

It is a real shame, and it makes this issue such a landmine. Israel is an apartheid state, but its also true that antisemitism exists, and Israeli institutions are interested in trying to conflate criticism of the former with the latter. We obviously shouldn't conflate them, but we also shouldn't pretend that antisemitism doesn't exist (not saying you were!!!).
