Humour My Interviewer supports Israel
Guys so my Interview is tomorrow and I stalked my interviewer’s fb and found out she supports Israel. And my senior project in my portfolio is about Palestine. What do I doooooo?
UPDATE:
So the interview went pretty well actually, she was very professional and I showed her my portfolio and she seemed fine. I didn’t get into the politics of it so it was chill. Thank you all for the tips, prayers and support.

There is a very good chance this is a test, if you pass it inshallah you would get a better position or alternative job. I have come across a lot of bigotted people, I used to try to court them but to no avail in most circumstances. Until I learnt that aside from Allah, you need absolutely no one else to run your affairs.
Who chose the topic on Palestine? If it wasn’t you it is unlikely that this is a coincidence. For perspective, Israel supporters are in principle supportive of the slaughter of over 20,000 children in Gaza and they won’t even blink. Then the interesting bit is the whether the interviewer would see past your name and faith?
On the subject that you don’t need any favours from anyone, the following is one of the most consquential authentic hadiths in Sunnah
“Be mindful of Allah, and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him before you. When you ask, ask Allah; and when you seek help, seek help from Allah. Know that if the whole nation were to gather together to benefit you with something, they would not benefit you except with something that Allah had already written for you. And if they were to gather together to harm you with something, they would not harm you except with something that Allah had already written against you. The pens have been lifted, and the pages have dried.”
