A TikToker has posted a video of her tearing down blue and white striped flags from outside a New Jersey restaurant, venting her anger towards Israel. She thought that they were Israeli flags, however, to her embarrassment, they turned out to be Greek.&nbsp;

“The time I mistakenly thought the flag for Greek was for Israel and took the restaurant’s flag down OMG,” the title of the video posted by a woman named "Ambamelia" reads.

The TikTok has gone viral, garnering more than 3.2 million views on the platform, and millions more on X since being posted Tuesday. Netizens are confused about why she decided to post the video which shows her engaging in the dumb act.

The flags were strung outside Efi’s Gyro in Montclair. The woman can be heard saying, "Look at that s–t," as she pulls down a string of flags.&nbsp;

The staff inside looks confused as she says, "Free Palestine, ***h! What you looking at?"

She then goes up to the cashier with a fistful of flags, shouting “You know there’s a genocide."&nbsp;

"I don’t stand for Zionism in Montclair!" she goes on to say, flaunting the ripped-down flags.

"There is nothing against people who are Jewish, but this is not OK," she says.

At this point, two of the confused staffers come outside and tell her that they are flags of Greece.

"What? Really? Oh, I thought it was Israel — my bad," the embarrassed TikToker says.

"Oh s–t … it looked like Israel."

<h2>Owner confirms incident was real</h2>

People believe the incident is too dumb to be real and several of them claim that it was a skit. However, the owner of the Greek restaurant confirmed that the bizarre incident was not staged.&nbsp;

Efi Mihalis opened the restaurant at the age of 18 in 2021 and said that the attack happened on March 11 and it is unclear why was it only posted now. Efi had filed a police complaint in the matter back then.

“It was not a skit as some people believe,” she told The New York Post.

"This was not planned nor was it calculated in any way" and everyone was "taken aback" when it happened.

The TikToker hasn't commented on the reason for posting it now.

Netizens can't believe that someone would post such a video, with several of them asking why would anyone post a clip embarrassing them. One user wrote, "Our education system is failing us i can’t."
