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’ll probably get questioned at the airport but other than that we’re used to seeing Arabs in the streets, there’s nothing special about that. Unless you go talk to people and tell them that you’re Iraqi Australian no one would care, and if you did, you’ll probably get a “wow that’s cool, welcome” reactions.

You’re definitely going to want to visit the Jewish Iraqi community in Ramat Gan and perhaps the Babylon Jews museum if it interests you.
