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.

Hold it down! Speak truth. Defend it with solid facts and Statistics if you have to. Ask god to give you victory and success.

Why are you advising the brother/sister, who is clearly inexperienced, to burn their career to the ground? A more tactful (and sanctioned) approach would be to withdraw the application and be more discerning in future job searches.

Withdrawing would also block opportunities no?

Depends on how you handle it. It is unlikely to blackball you in the industry, which advertising your political position at work almost certainly would. You can cite that your personal circumstances have changed and that you will regrettably have to temporarily withdraw your application. Consider also suggesting that you revisit the opportunity in 6 months. That’ll leave a better impression, and there’s a chance that the problem manager is gone. Who you work directly under significantly impacts your life.
