The vested interest is preventing valid criticism of Israel. The influence means influencing people to attack critics of Israel by being able to call them antisemitic. All to do with politics, nothing to do with ethnicity. That's what you don't understand, Keith. That antisemitism is attacking Jews BECAUSE THEY ARE JEWS, not attacking them because of their politics or public statements or behaviour. You may never see it, you being you, but at the very least you should refrain from calling people antisemitic when all they are doing is criticising the politics, policies, statements or behaviour of people who may be Jews. Or not. Even you admit that the committee was "mostly" Jews. Yes, I did notice that.
