Why is Obama's Anti-Semitism Czar Focusing on criticizing Israel?

It's just really bizarre that one of Hannah Rosenthal's first official actions as head of the Obama administration's Office to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism is to criticize the Israeli ambassador for not speaking at a J Street conference, of which she is a board member. This is also a person who called a National Israel Solidarity Rally "ultra-conservative" despite the fact that Dick Gephardt and Harry Reid spoke at the event. Even the normally liberal leaning Abe Foxman from ADL wrote an open letter criticizing her. Seriously. How did this person ever become the person responsible for combating anti-semitism? It's like everyone in this administration had a brain tumor for breakfast.
