You deserve a medal for your posts here ag, you've summed up exactly how I feel about Israel and my personal, complicated relationship with my own Jewry.

Just out of curiosity what is your relationship with your Judaism (not Jewry, that's a collective noun), and what makes it complicated?

Well, all of the controversy seems to come from that nasty little country that I have no connection to yet am somehow expected to have unquestionable loyalty to by many.

You're strawmanning, but more importantly you basically admitted you don't have a relationship with Judaism.
I don't have a relationship with Israel. Is your definition of Judaism determined solely on how one views Israel?

I think I've posted this before, but it's the most recent poll I can find on worldwide antisemitism. It's by the ADL, but even they will quietly admit that the percentage of people identifying as antisemitic is at its lowest level in recorded history. This is not to say there aren't some countries (Hungary) where it is most certainly increasing, but the narrative of a global antisemitic comeback is highly misleading.

Edit: According to the survey's update, antisemitism in France dropped 20% between 2014 and 2015.
