I'm going to go against the grain on this one, not by way of excuse (far from), but explanation.
I'm thinking that in her community (and many, but certainly not all Muslim communities), the manner in which the Jewish people and Israel are discussed is so ingrained within them, that when she says these things, it is not a considered choice designed to offend. She simply assumes that the way she thinks and talks is the way it is and is confused when people take issues with what she knows to be Truth based upon all that hse has been taught and told since birth. She can't believe that other people don't see it this way.
...of course, ingrained antisemitism is still bigotry.
Bottom line is that sounds EXACTLY like an excuse.
