The Alaska perspective: A reminder that the world doesn't revolve around Israel - comment

Herb Keinon, writing for The Jerusalem Post, recounts his experience visiting Alaska and reflects on how Israelis are perceived outside of Israel. He notes that locals showed little awareness of Tel Aviv or Israel, challenging the common belief that global attention is fixated on Israel. Keinon highlights that while antisemitism exists, it is not universally pervasive, and that travelers from Israel face minimal hostility in places like Alaska. He contrasts the heightened awareness of Israel in media and social platforms with the more subdued reality experienced firsthand during travel.
