"Anti-Semitic" has become a nice-sounding way to refer to people who hate Jews ("Semitic" only is used in the broader sense in, e.g., linguistics, it seems).
Since the Congresswoman from Dearborn is a Palestinian American, she of course is against the genocide which appears to be going on in Gaza.
That's a policy of an Israeli government on its last legs, so technically not created by all Jews, but there are extreme Jews who look at any faltering in one's support for Israeli policies is necessarily Anti-Semitic (it isn't), and lots of Jews might well support most Israeli policies by default.
So religion & ethnicity & history are all interwoven.
I think Rep. Tlaib had been rationally opposed to the VERY broad application of violence against Gaza.
That's not Anti-Semitic.
