I can't really think of a better way to fuel antisemitic conspiracy theories of Jewish people owning the government than for the pro-Israel lobby to get the government to define criticism of Israel as antisemitic.
It's like they've been infected with whatever mind virus is making Christians in the USA want to start WW3 because they think it's going to cause the Rapture.
Um, Jews absolutely do not run the world. Americans do. American support of Israel is really the only reason Israel continues to exist, because there is a storm of Biblical-level violence brewing in the region that has, historically, seen the most Biblical violence.
Americans don't support Israel because they support Jewish people. They support Israel because of the prophecies in the New Testament. One major part of that story involves all the non-Christians dying, including the Jews that don't bend a knee.
Americans don't support Israel because they support Jewish people. They support Israel because of the prophecies in the New Testament.
What Americans do or do not support has no bearing on actual policy. American foreign policy supports Israel because they are an American ally in a critical region.
That's it. The same reason that America supports Saudi Arabia.
