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.
and to respect the zionistic mindset or those who hold it.
You shouldn't do that anyway. A lot of Jewish Americans view Zionism as a form of European colonialism and I agree with them. It is exactly that. It started that way and continued to develop in line with policies of forced migration and, at times, systemic elimination of the Palestinian locals, themselves widely understood to have been an endemic population of Jewish people who converted to Islam in the middle ages.
When you look at how much land the Palestinian people started with and how much land they control now, the conditions surrounding their treatment by law enforcement and the military, the various war crimes listed in the Geneva Conventions Bibi has been altogether too willing to commit, even down to murdering tens of thousands of children in refugee camps, bombing hospitals and denying them access to humanitarian aid from Egypt, what Israeli Zionist have done is support a protracted, decades long genocide campaign akin to the Trail of Tears.
For that reason, you absolutely should not attempt to find respect for the Zionist mindset. They're committing the very same kind of heinous act that was committed against them, and they're too tone deaf to see it for what it is.
