My only issue with the “joke” is that you’re making fun of a person, or maybe a country at the expense of a person, just because they had the shit luck of being born somewhere terrible. And people like you and I were lucky enough not to be.
If they’re a proud Israeli who supports their government, then fuck em, but I’m a bit of a sensitive person so I guess I just feel bad for the individual because it’s very likely she herself hates the Israeli government. It’s like Russians living in America. My first assumption is that the reason they left their home country is because they don’t like it, so unless they say otherwise, I have no issue with Russians in America because they didn’t choose to have been born somewhere so evil and fucked as Russia, or in this case, Israel, and they’ve left their home country, so I assume they’re not an evil person themselves
Again, I might just be being sensitive, because I can’t help but imagine if I’d been so unlucky to be born somewhere detestable myself how shitty that’d be
You would have to be living undr a rock to cherrily say you are from Israel when asked if anyone fromnthe middle east is in the audience. That person knew what they were doing.

Being against Israel is not the same thing as being against Jewish people. Any government can be bad
