To give a sense of how integrated the Israeli lobby is into US law and society, two of my friends have an anti-BDS clause baked into their lease. They could legally be evicted for boycotting Israel (hexbear.net)

In 2017, the governors of all fifty U.S. states signed a statement describing their opposition to the BDS movement, stating that the BDS movement’s “focus on the Jewish State raises serious questions about its motivations and intentions” and that the governors “strongly condemn the BDS movement as incompatible with the values of our states and our country.”[14]

Not doing anything to make fascist ideas of a Jewish conspiracy less believable. Although maybe that's the point. Support fascist israel and at the same time make it so american nazis are eating good with their propaganda fodder.
