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.

You could say that about practically anything, though. There are probably anti-Semitic folks who watch Marvel movies, or drive Hondas or eat at Burger King. Individual foibles don't trickle up to commonality.
Again, not trying to force anyone to change their beliefs to appease my sensibilities, I just want to understand what the general consensus here is on zionism. Based on the replies I'm seeing it's a mix of "the nation and its people have a right to exist but the government is corrupt as fuck and needs to be taken down" and "Israel has been a problem because muh stolen land and muh religion", all while glossing over the fact that Islam is an unquelled figurative termite infestation that turned a once religiously pluralistic region into a quasi-caliphate and is gradually pervading throughout yet another religiously pluralistic region (Europe) in the hopes of doing the exact same thing.
If the Israeli government is as crooked as ours, then it probably needs to have their swamp drained, too. IDGAF what their religion/heritage is, at that point. Corruption is corruption.
Q drops were about going after and ending corruption in all governments. That is all. I love America but I don't deny the corruption here has become stage 4 cancer. Israel has it's problems too, as does the rest of the world. Being anti-corruption isn't the same as anti-american or anti-Israel. There are bad players in many nations.
