Kinda curious of your perspective of the culture there.

I feel like as a lefty person on lefty internet I get feed a pretty steady stream of clips of Israelis being fucking psychos, but I guess I wonder how mask off people are when you’re just like getting coffee or walking the dog.

    No, but I lived in a town with a heavy Israeli diaspora. To be honest, most were pretty friendly people for the most part. I’m non-white and they didn’t take an issue with it. The ones that were born and raised there were usually just as dark as me. A couple of them even invited me to visit them in Israel someday.

    Their attitude changed as soon as you brought up arabs. The slurs would come out, dehumanizing of them, and joking about them all being terrorists. Our school newspaper had a muslim girl write an article about Israeli atrocities and they lost their shit. Everyone in the school was talking about how offensive it was and boys would chase her asking if she had bombs in her backpack.
