Greek Flags: ‘My bad’: Woman tears down Greek flags, confusing them for Israel’s

A video recently went viral on TikTok in which a woman could be seen tearing down Greek flags hung outside a restaurant.
Anti-Israel TikTokker Ambamelia garnered 3.2 million views after she filmed herself tearing the flags down outside Efi Gyro’s restaurant in Montclair, New Jersey thinking that those were Israeli flags, according to the New York Post.
In the viral video titled “The time I mistakenly thought the Greek flag was for Israel and took it down OMG,” a woman recounted her blunder at Efi’s Gyro in Montclair.

“Look at this sh*t!” she exclaimed while tearing down Greek flags. “Free Palestine, bi**h!” she shouted at confused staff, insisting, “There’s a genocide happening!” She declared, “I don’t support Zionism in Montclair!”
Eventually, staff explained the flags were for Greece. She replied, “What? Really? My bad. Oh s–t… it looked like Israel.”
The restaurant owner confirmed on Wednesday that the attack was real but it happened back on March 11, she doesn’t know why the footage was posted now. She reported the incident to police at the time saying, “The young woman destroyed my property.”
“It was not a skit as some people believe,” she told The Post of online speculation that the attack was too dumb to be real.
“This was not planned nor was it calculated in any way,” she clarified, saying everyone had been “taken aback” when it happened.
Commentators ridiculed the video, with many calling the incident “embarrassing.”
One viewer asked, “Why did you post this?!” while another commented, “Our education system is failing us, I can’t.”
This is not the first instance of anti-Israel vandalism at a restaurant following Hamas’ brutal attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
In a similar case from December, a woman threw soup at employees of a Kosher restaurant on the Upper East Side, accusing them of being “murderers.”
