Shocking scenes as an Aussie shopkeeper unleashes into a furious tirade at Israeli tourists in Townsville

Stunning footage of a heated clash between a shopkeeper and two Israeli backpackers has been branded a ‘toxic and shameful outburst’ by Jewish groups.

Footage of the heated argument between the unidentified woman and the young tourists outside the store in North Queensland’s Townsville on Saturday evening has been widely shared online.

The backpackers, who are in their early 20s, were reportedly browsing the store when they saw a donation sign for aid in Palestine at the checkout.

They approached the retailer and suggested she consider tracking where the donations were going, prompting the woman’s anti-Semitic tirade.

She allegedly told the backpackers: ‘Get the hell out of my shop’.

In the short video shared online, the woman was seen dressed in black and shouting at tourists on the street while holding a shovel.

“I don’t care about Israel, but I do care that you’re a dirty, filthy royal Jew,” the woman shouted as one of the backpackers filmed.

The other confronted the shopkeeper with her comments.

“Will you listen to what I have to say?” asked the other tourist, dressed in a brown shirt and pants.

‘No. Fuck off,” the shopkeeper fired back.

“I said, look what you’re saying,” the tourist continued.

The woman then told the backpackers to ‘f*** off’ two more times.

Daily Mail Australia has chosen not to identify the store involved.

The Australian Jewish Association condemned the incident while launching a brutal attack on the Albanian government.

‘The wave of anti-Jewish hatred continues to sweep through Australia. “Free Palestine has brought an ugly division to this country,” the association captioned the images.

“Many government actions have contributed to the wave of anti-Jewish hatred.

“Incidents like this happen every day across Australia.”

The Anti-Defamation Commission also condemned “raw, unfiltered anti-Semitism.”

President, Dr. Dvir Abramovich went so far as to call the incident a ‘national crisis’.

“This horrific episode sends a brutal message to Jewish Australians and international visitors alike: that they are not safe in our country. What does it say about us when backpackers, far from home, have to fear for their lives because of their identity?’ he said news.com.au.

Dr. Abramovich added that the confrontation would not only have felt “fear and humiliation” to the backpackers, but would also have suggested a broader attitude across Australia.

He also called on the authorities to treat the incident seriously.

“This incident is not an isolated flash of hatred. It’s part of a much larger, very disturbing trend. Anti-Semitism is creeping into the everyday fabric of our society and eroding the very principles we supposedly hold dear,” Dr. Abramovich added.

‘Australia is at a crossroads. Will we let this cancer of hate define who we are, or will we rise up and reclaim our values ​​of decency, safety and inclusion?”

The latest incident comes after a car was set on fire and buildings were vandalized in Woollahra, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, early on Thursday morning with shocking anti-Israel comments.

Cars were vandalized with the words “f**k Israel”, while at least three properties, including a restaurant, were also targeted.

Hours later, Federal Court Judge Michael Lee slammed the spate of anti-Semitic incidents in Sydney’s east as attacks on his family in a powerful speech at a Jewish House gala dinner.

In an impassioned speech, he said that any attack on the Jewish community is an “attack on my wife and my children.”
