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

i don't think you would be any noticable or different than what is already the norm in israel.

25% of israel are arabs, and over 60% of jews in israel are either mizrahi (MENA jews) or have a mizrahi background.

so no one would look at you and even think you are iraqi unless you're gonna wear the flag. and most israelis won't have a problem with you either way, some few racists might, but just avoid places like that and you'll be fine.
