Proton has ties to Israel. What's a safe alternative?

Proton is garbage though. They immediately disabled my account after I set it up, as I'm on some blacklist by some brazillian firm, they didn't tell me that part, they said suspicious activity. I do nothing illegal, or spammy either, I read the news and use some social media.
Anyway they gave me no way to appeal. The other main one that doesn't require a phone number or existing email let me appeal and approved it.
Now why am I on some shady blacklist that tech companies use to discriminate against people for? I can only speculate, but I suspect it's an Israel thing.
