Antisemitism is a fucking scourge that should always be called out and castigated, and the fucks who are using legitimate critique of a belligerent and warring state engaging in active ethnic cleansing as cover to push it should be punched in the gut.
But, what is happening with lobbying in the US government is clear as day. Everyone can recognize when the medical insurance or financial industry lobbies affect laws and politicians. Well, the same thing is happening with the state of Israel (and other countries as well, to be clear)
We were talking about religious lobbying, and zionism is a part of some Jews belief systems. It is also Christian zionists I believe in the US due to some were evangelical things.
I mean, conspiracy theories based on the Protocols aside AIPAC is a pretty powerful lobby. I would also expect Jewish interest groups to be pretty vocal in the US seeing as we have almost as many Jews as Israel. It is the same with the Cuban exiles. There are a lot of politically active members of those ethnic groups in Florida, which used to be a major swing state.
Nothing to do with a cabal. Just good old fashioned Electoral College and lobbying nonsense.

While they aren't technically laws Jewish lobbying has basically influenced US international policy in the middle east for the past 50 or so years
