In China a minority group called the Uyghurs is horrendously treated. They are often imprisoned and subjected to forced sterilizations or abortions.

In Afghanistan women are forced to walk around in black tent-like outfits. They are forbidden to travel without their husbands permission. If raped they will be blamed and punished severely. 

On meeting a random Afghan or Chinese person would anyone verbally assault them about any of the above? No.

Yet a person felt very righteous and good about himself yelling at me at my place of work because I have a connection to Israel. My son lives there. 

How great for people to have a new excuse for an age-old hatred.
