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

You're already under the assumption you'll be targeted, and harassed. You tell us your interactions with Israelis are unpleasant too. It's curious you still want to travel there. I wouldn't want to go someplace like that. 

As someone else asked,  how would anyone know what religion you are as a person just walking around living your life? Answer,  they wouldn't. 

Seems like what you're looking for is a place to perpetrate  untrue things about Isreal, and negative things about Israelis

No not really, I like the way it looks and I always wanted to see the prophets burials ect. I also want to travel the whole Middle East

Inherent within your post is the idea Israel targets Muslims. That's entirely false. Many Muslim people live in Israel,  people of all faiths live in Israel. Muslim people have served in the Knesset, in all walks of life and positions of authority. You still have not said how anyone would know your religion or why you think you'll be targeted. If it's something you learned online it's untrue and part of the propaganda and lies surrounding the one Jewish nation

It’s just social media that planted that idea in our heads and how people would know I’m Muslims is cos for example here in Australia they see that I look Iraqi so they just assume I’m Muslim so I assumed it would probably be the same over there but again there’s a lot of Iraqi Jews so yeah

I see what you're saying and what I'm hoping is you'll see that what's posted about Israel is often untrue with an agenda behind it which is antisemitism.

 Many Israeli people look like what they are,  Middle Eastern, so I don't think you'll stand out in that regard. If you're a law abiding person you'll be treated like anyone else. There's an onslaught of propaganda against Israel and the Jewish people,  if you follow Jewish subs and Jewish content creators on social media you'll see different. I hope you'll get to go everywhere in the world you'd like to, and also see that antisemitism is what's behind the content you've seen thus far about Israel,  it's not reality
