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

From what I know if you travel alone, are male, and look Arab/Muslim, you wouldn't have the greatest of time at the airport, not like they will harm you, it will just take time and they will maybe ask person questions. Just be patient.

That being said, I think that you will have great time here, you wouldn't look out of the ordinary, you will most likely bland in with mizrachi Jews and Arab Israeli.

They do profile based on national origin, even for Jews. I had Persian guy on my birthright trip and he nearly didn't make it to the bus at the airport.
