Although it would be much more exciting to have some world conspiracy, try to consider what that would mean. That conspiracy's so powerful it can singularly decide votes across a union of dozens of countries, and yet still feels the need to enact a law to invoke that power in the first place.
No, this is a much more benign form of government overreach, one born out of a normal desire to suppress citizens, and perhaps a healthy amount of regulatory capture by large corporations.
You don't think Jeffrey Epstein blackmailing US and UK celebrities and politicians on behalf of the Israeli government qualifies as a conspiracy? Or that Epstein was one of many similar influence assets operated by Israel? Hell, AIPAC even brags publicly about buying elections here in the US.
Next you will tell Arendt that The Banality if Evil had no host ideology at the time.
What did you see in The Zone of Interest? Just a documentary about a benign family?
Or are some humans worthy of more analysis than others?
Shame.
