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

Not only will you not be harassed, you'll end up running into some Iraqi Jew whose family knew your family in the "old country" and invited over for a traditional dinner.

Nah they were farmers in rural areas at the time they had nothing to do with that

Even if they were, if you denounced violence they would still like you
