https://mondoweiss.net/2017/07/information-citizens-penalties/ With bipartisan sponsorship , the U.S. Congress is considering making it a punishable offense to advocate the boycott of Israel . Not only do I regard this as being indicative of an infringement upon civil liberty , but also an undue evidence of what would seem to some as being further positive proof that the United States is now more than even under the control of some Zionist cabal . This can only further fuel anti-Semitic conspiracy theory hysteria , I fear .

This is from last year and of course very silly to make laws that oppose a movement whose goal aligns with international law.

As for zionist cabal, if you mean AIPAC, sure.

Re: antisemitism. I think being a racist as a response to a racist government (Israel) is obviously stupid and particularly so since Israel's ideology (zionism) has both support and opposition from Jews. Although it is the case that Israel's vicious policies directed at Palestinians causes some to be antisemitic because some people can't differentiate between ideology and a people and possibly also because Israeli claims to be a Jewish state. Still, racism is always bad.

The good news is that these types of actions by the US and Israeli government suggest that BDS is working.
