Yes, jews generally is hated since egypt. Today laws and morality don't allow kill jews like ancient egypt, but you could be sure that laws allow kill jews she do it.

But she speaks english, has a bachelor and master degree, she is just an arab muslim behind that, she may even not hate jews.

Maybe, but she looks you puzzled because you talk in hebrew with she. Maybe she think weird thinks. Or just she is a friendly arab.

 

She is just better at hidding it.

perhaps that woman was a normal human being who just osn't uaed to being exposed to negative thoughts 24/7

 

i'd be surprised too if someone suddenly told me that completely out of context

We were talking about art. She studied art in an Israeli university and said that art here is weak.

perhaps she was afraid of you being an undercover agent then

Does she speak Hebrew? I would be puzzled by a language I don't understand.

Do you speak Arabic?

You can have good and bad opinion and criticism about anything, even your people and yourself. Expressing your opinion should be normal and if she has higher education she should be familiar with this concept too (she can agree with that or not ofc).

But you shouldn't degrade your kind just like that, because she might think you did it because you think that's what she wants to hear.

Relationships aren't decided by one conversation, you can build good terms with a coworker. Acts matter more than words ofc, and having consistency between your words and actions matters a lot.

I suggest treating her as an individual and not a generic part of a generalized group, while not disrespecting her folk would be a good step.

Okay, she probably speak Hebrew then.

Yes, she speaks Hebrew and I don't speak Arabic. We mix English and hebrew while speaking with each other.

I agree with you but ethnic relations are a thorny issue here, I worked with Arab Israelis who had a collar with the map of mandate Palestine and the numbers 48 written over it.

she may think you're trying to tease antisemitic opinions out to report to your bosses and get her fired from her job.

if you want to say you don't like how israeli planners allow dogshit buildings to be thrown up by money grubbing developers with no regard for aesthetics, then say that and leave the theatrical 'im not like the other jews' stuff to one side. woman is in a delicate position with everything going on atm, so even if its sincerely meant what you said sounds like you're baiting her

it's a weird thing to say out of the blue during a casual conversation, no wonder she was puzzled

look its already two people telling you this
