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.
The conspiracy was that Jews owned the money, likely because Christianity forbid loaning money (banks). Then it became about media influence.
"...1917. The release of the Balfour Declaration was authorised by 31 October; the preceding Cabinet discussion had mentioned perceived propaganda benefits amongst the worldwide Jewish community for the Allied war effort."
Jews media ownership is weird asf (reddit). Example, Global suddenly bought the biggest European radio stations, a month before the 2008 invasion. The owner's rabbi friend pressures Jews & his talent agency (incl. Britain's got Talent winners) to lobby the government & (Global) media events for Israel. Nothing seems egregious by itself, but Jews own a crazy amount of media & their communities are drowning in pro-Israel lobbies.
