OPINION - I stand with Israel — why do people think because I’m black and Muslim I won’t?

Is it different because I’m a black Muslim woman? I stand with Israel, just as I stand with other countries that are the victims of terror attacks. Yet people say anti-Semitic things in front of me and expect me to agree, or they grow angry at my condemnations of terror.
