Awkward moment ignorant TikTokker rips down Greek national flag from restaurant during pro-Palestine rant because she thinks it’s Israeli

A woman has sparked outrage after pulling down Greek flags from outside a restaurant in a pro-Palestinian tirade, thinking they were Israeli flags.

The TikTokker can be heard shouting “I don’t stand for genocide, I don’t stand for Zionism” as she removed bunting from a gyro shop in New Jersey.

She also filmed herself confronting staff and saying, “What are they going to do?” and “Are you proud of your heritage?” as they watched in horror.

The woman only stopped when she was told the flags were in fact Greek by people who worked at Efi’s Gyros on Bloomfield Avenue in Montclair township.

Then she sheepishly replied, “I thought it was Israel – my fault.”

The woman uploaded the video to TikTok with the caption “the time I wrongly thought Greece’s flag was for Israel and pulled down the restaurant’s flag OMG.”

She has since been criticized online, with one person saying: ‘This is so embarrassing’.

Another said: ‘The fact that you caused problems for the employees said.’

A third added: “Bro literally says gyros on the window. This is so embarrassing and insulting.

“Stay out of this job if you can’t even decipher the correct flags!”

A fourth joked: ‘This made it hard for me to watch as a Greek person.’

Although both the Greek and Israeli flags are blue and white, the Israeli one has a Star of David in the center.

Meanwhile, in the Israel-Gaza conflict, the IDF today launched a series of rocket attacks on the Lebanese capital Beirut for the first time in six days, as the country was under pressure from the US over aid to Gaza.

The country’s military focused attacks on southern Beirut after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the idea of ​​a ceasefire in Lebanon that would keep Hezbollah close to Israel’s border.

An AFP journalist saw black smoke rising between buildings in the capital’s Haret Hreik area after two attacks, which took place shortly after an Israeli military order for residents to leave.

Netanyahu’s pledge to keep fighting Hezbollah came as the United States increased pressure on Israel’s conduct of the wars in Lebanon and Gaza, criticizing the recent bombing of Beirut and demanding more aid reach the Palestinian territory.

In a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron, Netanyahu said he is “opposed to a unilateral ceasefire, which will not change the security situation in Lebanon and will only restore it to the way it was,” according to a statement from his office.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, pictured last month at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, has rejected the idea of ​​a ceasefire in Lebanon that would keep Hezbollah close to his country’s border.

Mr. Netanyahu and the Israeli military have insisted that there should be a buffer zone along Israel’s border with Lebanon where there are no Hezbollah fighters.

The statement said: “Prime Minister Netanyahu has clarified that Israel would not agree to any arrangement that does not provide for this (a buffer zone) and that does not prevent Hezbollah from rearming and regrouping.”

In a defiant televised speech, Hezbollah’s deputy leader Naim Qassem said the only solution was a ceasefire as he threatened to expand the scope of his rocket attacks across Israel.

“Since the Israeli enemy has attacked all of Lebanon, we have the right to attack any place in Israel from a defensive position,” he said.
