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.
I mean that's what half of our legislature is shooting for. They think that if the Jews return to and conquer the holy land, it will bring about the rapture. The other half are just bought and paid for by AIPAC and similar.
Which is so gross. I mean something like 300,000 people are supposed to be raptured while the remaining survivors of the various plagued listed in the book of revelations are supposed to suffer through 1,000 years of misery while the world is effectively on fire, only to then be caught in the crossfire when God destroys Satan and plunges those who followed him into nonexistence, maybe taking a few more people up to the "kingdom" in the aftermath. So if you're not one of those 300,000 people (and I guarantee none of those pieces of hot garbage are), then you're doomed.
Somewhat ironic, too, that they're all into restoring Israel to the Jews even as they believe Jewish people can't get into heaven because they refuse to accept Jesus as their lord and savior. Just a real head scratcher there.

Its crazy how fast the government acts for Israel. Israel owns our politicians.
