Is it ok to use a jewish name atm?

Im sorry im uneducated but my favourite name atm is isaac and i just want to know from anyone that knows more about whats going on is that insensitive at as its a hewbrew name? Im not jewish nor have any roots so its just cause i like it.

Sorry if this is a stupid question in itself! I dont want to offend anyone with the whole palestine/israel issue by using a jewish name as if theres nothing going on.

I'm polish, so I decide to give my son name Igor, I try to find quite an easy name to say for English people because I know how hard sometimes is say, a Polish name. I don't want to give my baby a problem with the name.

My son is called isaac and I've never had any problems 😊x

Yeah. You don’t need to have Hebrew routes to have a Hebrew name, I’m a Sarah 😊

Names like Isaac have been around for millennia before any current world issues. Name baby boy whatever you want xx

Isaac is in the Bible the Quran and the Torah. Beautiful name.
Why would using even an Israeli name be insensitive though? Their government might be doing wrong to most, it doesn’t change the fact that they have beautiful (inside and out) people as well as a rich vibrant culture and wonderful country.
Isaac is a beautiful name full of history
