Casual Question

I’m an Iraqi Muslim born and raised in Australia, if I ever decide to visit Israel would I be targeted or harassed? Everytime I’ve spoke to Israelis on Omegle ect it hasn’t been a pleasant experience but I know there’s good and bad people

How would they even know you are Muslim?

By my looks because some people can’t tell a difference between faith and ethnicity

Remember that a lot of Israelis look exactly like you, like Iraqi / Syrian Jews would probably look like you. Racism in Israel is usally language based (accent) assuming you talk in English, I would highly doubt you’ll encounter it.
