I am married to an Israeli Jewish man, and after having travelled over to Israel a few times I knew that what the media tells us is very different to what reality is.
Therefore, I knew that supporting Israel was the right thing to do and everything else just made sense. The concept of Zionism is not a genocidal, racist one but rather a Jewish civil rights movement to keep the Jewish people safe. I was horrified at the rampant antisemitism and as a result I have decided to convert to the progressive form of Judaism in solidarity, but also because it feels right to me as an agnostic.
