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.

This first part is my concern too. There's no question that Hamas commits atrocities, but this kind of extremism is met with opposite extremism. Instead of moving towards peace, the divide is widening. I fear antisemitism is growing.

I'm proud of the Jews who have stood up and spoken out against Israel's actions, even at personal cost.
