Sorry but that's bullshit. There are plenty of people who speak out against Israel (for example in Germany, of all places) who still hold their job. So there. Your anti-semitic theory of Jews from Israel secretly shadow controlling all governemnts is refuted.
Btw, when your theory is correct how come the media doesn't cover the bombing of Israel by Gaza and Lebanon? Most people don't even know it's happening.
When your theory is true, how come that UN can be biased against Israel and no one is doing anything about it? The UN found that 40 % of all Human rights violations since 2006 (!) have supposedly taken place in Israel. With competitors like China, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan that raised quite a few eyebrows but no one has done anything about it.
Also, simply to bring in some statistics, there are 16.1 million Jews worldwide. And 9.37 million Israelis. No one cares for this tiny minority unless they are battling extinction again.
What is more likely is that A you wish there was an easy answer, like one side has to be the bad one.
And B you are falling hard for propaganda. Propaganda is one of the only weapons groups like Hamas have in their arsenal. And it's not just Hamas who have an interest in Israel being gone. Add every other Islamic state into that mix.
I don't know which news sides you use but use some fact checkers as well. They aren't perfect but here is a US based list: https://guides.lib.berkeley.edu/c.php?g=620677&p=4333407
Also, when you start doubting media, I found this quite important: https://stratcomcoe.org/
This is NATO analysis of strategies used by several organisations and countries.

Here you can find a PDF that explains how Hamas is using human shields and what media coverage has to do with their strategy in particular.
Germans please stop projecting your guilt for attempting to colonize and exterminate your way across Asia onto the people resisting a colonizing force.
