So basically some people are saying that the reason USA and celebrities support Isn’t real so much is because Zionists ‘‘control Hollywood’’ and many companies in USA leaving USA with no choice but to support them and that president can’t decide for himself to stop the support even if he wanted too. They give Blinken as an example of Zionist on high government position in USA.

Elon Musk also Tweeted antisemitism by saying something similar. Is it?

    and many companies in USA leaving USA with no choice but to support them and that president can’t decide for himself to stop the support even if he wanted too.

    Framing it way this way makes it sounds like supporting Israel is an objective, individual choice, when anti-BDS laws ensure that it is not. Boycotting Israel is illegal in 35 US states and growing, and in many states, you need to vow not to criticize Israel in order to hold a public-sector job and can be fired if you do.

    But as others have said, anti-BDS laws are so popular in the US because of Israel’s strategic and financial benefit to the US establishment, not because “Zionists control X”.
