Attacks
I got attacked 3 times today, in various levels of severity. From the absurdly light to the more serious:
1) An old Arab man asked me if I was from Israel. Seeing he was old and no real threat, I answered "yes". Then I asked why he was asking. He was collecting funds for Arabs in Gaza. He told me that Israel is not a Jewish state but is an American puppet regime. Well, duh...
2) A Christian missionary had a go at me. I told him I wasn't interested. When he persisted I made things clearer. He left.
3) An Arab threw a half-eaten McDonalds cheeseburger at me and began shouting, "fucking Juderman" and all kinds of crap in Danish (what's a Juderman?), and making obscene gestures. I walked away rapidly, and when he followed I pulled out my camera. He ducked into a bus-stop and did not pursue me.
The last was quite frightening. The others were sort of nonsense. I can't wait to leave Denmark.
