Hmmm.. I am a pretty normal-ish American person, and I’m not sure I can think of a single real place in my actual day to day life where I could voice openly antisemitic sentiments without experiencing bad consequences of at least the momentary social opprobrium sort. Possibly the only exception would be with a few long time conservative friends , but then they fervently support Israel in this war.

Sure, you can’t say Jews are the spawn of Satan without social consequences. But you can say that the Israel lobby controls everything that happens in America, and be just fine.

No. In many contexts one cannot even admit that there is an Israel lobby at all (there is), much less that it has any control over anything (It does).
