Dimwitted TikTokker tore down Greek flags at NJ restaurant thinking they were Israeli: ‘Oh s–t. My bad’
It was all Greek to her.
A dimwitted anti-Israel TikTokker filmed herself tearing down flags outside a New Jersey restaurant — not realizing they were Greek, rather than similarly-colored Israeli ones.
“The time I mistakenly thought the flag for Greek was for Israel and took the restaurant’s flag down OMG,” the woman, who goes by “Ambamelia,” titled her video, which has gone viral with more than 3.2 million views on TikTok and millions more on X since being posted Tuesday.
“Look at that s–t,” she says in the footage as she starts ripping down a string of Greek flags hung up outside Efi’s Gyro in Montclair.
“Free Palestine, bitch!” she says loudly, asking confused-looking staff inside: “What you looking at?”
“You know there’s a genocide,” she barks at the cashier inside Efi’s, which bills itself as the “friendliest Greek restaurant in town.”
“I don’t stand for Zionism in Montclair!” she says proudly — while holding up a fistful of ripped-down Greek flags.
Two staff members eventually come out, looking confused and embarrassed for the dimwitted hater — until one gently points out that these white-and-blue flags are for Greece.
“What? Really? Oh I thought it was Israel — my bad,” she says.
“Oh s–t … it looked like Israel.”
Restaurant owner Efi Mihalis, who was only 18 when she opened the gyro spot in June 2021, confirmed on Wednesday that the bizarre attack was real — but that it had happened on March 11, with no obvious reason why it was only posted online now. Mihalis said she reported the incident to the police at the time.
“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 insisted, saying everyone had been “taken aback” when it happened.
“The young woman destroyed my property.”
Attempts to reach the TikTokker were not immediately successful Wednesday, and it remained unclear why she had decided to suddenly share the clip.
Still, she was ridiculed by commentators, with many calling the stunt “embarrassing.”
“Why did you post this?!! 😭😭😭🤣” a viewer asked in the comments, while another wrote: “Our education system is failing us i can’t.”
This is not the first instance of anti-Israel vandalism at a restaurant since Hamas’ barbaric October 7, 2023 attack on the Jewish state.
In December, an irate woman chucked soup at the employees of a Kosher restaurant in the Upper East Side and accused them of being “murderers.”
