Based on a lot of the posts I've seen here about "Saving Israel for last", I feel like there is a very anti-Israel sentiment on the site, which honestly makes me uncomfortable. Can someone clarify whether or not these stances are mutually exclusive? The last thing I'd want is to associate myself with a movement that is antithetical to my personal beliefs. Furthermore, I'd hate for there to be an underlying antisemitic sentiment.

Okay, to clarify, I'm not utilizing antisemitism as a dogwhistle, in fact it's literally the last point in the post, but I am concerned about an anti-Israel stance here. I respect people's right to their stances here, I just want to be sure that my beliefs do not run counter to what is espoused here.
In a sense, your way of thinking does indeed run counter to what is espoused here: independent thought. Why are you concerned about other people's thoughts here? On this site people are trying to make sense of the events happening across the world, through the lens of the Q drops. Every day, we try to filter the truth from the lies, and most importantly, we have to learn how to change our beliefs and predictions in light of new evidence. If there's an anti-Israel sentiment, perhaps try to understand why that might be, what evidence that might be based on, and perhaps post why you think they might be wrong, and how to reinterpret that evidence.
Under the phrase, "to associate myself with a movement," belies a way of thinking common with modern political discourse (largely but not only on "the left"), whereby you cannot talk to or mingle with people you disagree with, lest you be shamed, ridiculed, deplatformed and cancelled. I would think the vast majority here (minus the glowing ones) would agree that this "guilt by association" mindset that is very prevalent in the mainstream now, is extremely harmful.
This post reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Lisa decides she's Buddhist, and therefore can't celebrate Christmas, until later she's told Buddhists can celebrate Christmas after all, so she does. If she actually knew of the "beliefs" she adopted, she'd already know that, but instead, she adopted someone else's beliefs wholesale without fully understanding them You are responsible for your own beliefs, not other people. This isn't a club to join and obey the charter of. Don't ask people what to think. Read the Q drops and come to your own conclusions. Beliefs you form yourself are the strongest, because you understand them and can defend them. (But always accept you might be wrong!) Good luck on your search for truth.
Well said.
