This is only about protecting Israel.
From the article:
The review of all visa holders appears to be a significant expansion of what had initially been a process focused mainly on students who have been involved in what the government perceives as pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel activity.
Seems unlikely this will convince anyone that disagrees with Israeli policy that they're wrong. Quite the opposite, I imagine. That can't be good for long term support of Israel by America.
In the short term, it will allow genocide to be finished. In the long term, it is quite possible it will be forgotten, excused and lied about. Eventually everyone will move on as if nothing happened, except small minority
“Genocide to be finished”? What bizarro reality are you living in?

It was originally about that, but this expansion appears to be more general, no?
It's unclear from the passage. The "significant expansion" sounds like it could be referring to who is being examined or the violations authorities are looking for or both.
This is not at all about protecting Israel. That's just an antisemitic pretense—a way to scapegoat "the Jews" for all this authoritarian crap.
America first etc etc
