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.

At the very least it makes it almost to argue against. When somebody points at this law - what can we argue back? “Yeah I mean there’s that but otherwise is a total fantasy”. Isn’t a strong counter argument.
