Surely if Israel is bribing in one direction and Qatar is bribing in the other direction, someone is not getting their money's worth? That is, the final result is either that the "western world is entirely bribed and blackmailed to stand behind Israel" or that they don't stand behind Israel.
That's a dumb argument. It's not like Qatari money is trying to buy the mathematical inverse of Israeli money in a game of tit-for-tat.

Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism.
I do not believe that “Jews as a collective” are “bribing and blackmailing the whole Western world.”
I do believe that American lobbying groups—including but not limited to those that support Israel—use money as a tool to influence American politics in a manner akin to bribery, including in the few examples I linked about AIPAC.
Your casual conflation “Israel (Jews)”—as if the two were a single group with congruent interests—is misleading, dangerous, and antisemitic. Not all Jews are Israeli, and not all Jews are pro-Israel.
