Israel-hater wants to take action against restaurant: When she learns the truth, she turns meek
Montclair (New Jersey/USA) - A US-American woman is facing a lot of ridicule and malice for wantonly destroying the decorations of a restaurant and making other mistakes. Once again, the conflict in the Middle East is the background.
When she saw the blue and white flag at a Gyros restaurant, the activist got really angry and took action.
Amber Matthews (23), who calls herself Ambamelia on TikTok , took it upon herself to film how she tore down the nuisance, stomped on the flags and confronted the restaurant staff.
"Free Palastine, you S*******!" the woman yelled at an irritated member of staff. "Genocide!" the activist could be heard shouting on TikTok, which has since gone viral.
"Are you proud of your heritage?" Amber Matthews wanted to know from the woman. "Look at this S*****!" she ranted, pointing to the battered flag garland. She was against "Zionism", raged the angry activist.
But what the hysterical Israel-hater didn't know was that neither the restaurant nor the flags were Israeli - they were Greek. The 23-year-old had made a mistake. Stupid move.
Hard to believe: the staff at "Eli's Gyros" took the outburst in their stride. The chef approached the angry woman and gently explained to her that they couldn't understand why she was upset, they were Greek. "What, really? Oh, I thought it was Israel - my mistake," the activist had to admit meekly. "Oh S****** ... it looked like Israel."
Amber Matthews left before the police arrived at the restaurant.

After embarrassing appearance at the Greek: Activist uploads outburst to TikTok
The incident, which took place on March 11 this year in Montclair (New York metropolitan area), was recorded. However, the perpetrator could not be identified at first.
Until now: Because, as"New York Post" reports, the Israel-hater apparently found her outlandish outburst outside the Greek restaurant interesting enough to share it with her 12,500 followers on TikTok.
"When I mistakenly thought the Greek flag was Israel's and took down the restaurant's flag, OMG," she captioned the clip and uploaded it last week. The video has already been viewed 4.4 million times.
The freak-out scene has since been released to the police, who are now investigating the activist for a possible hate crime and damage to property. Pretty embarrassing.
