British Tourists' Anti-Semitic Rant at Israelis in Vietnam Restaurant Sparks Outrage
A disturbing video that has rapidly spread across social media platforms captures the moment two British tourists filmed themselves launching a vicious, anti-Semitic tirade against an Israeli couple while dining at a restaurant in Vietnam. The footage, which has gone viral on X and Instagram, shows the women laughing as they hurl a barrage of hateful insults, accusing the couple of being 'murderers', 'savages', 'monsters', and 'rats', while ordering them to 'scurry' away.
Viral Video Details and Anti-Semitic References
The confrontation begins with the British tourists questioning the Israeli couple about their origins after noticing a tattoo on the woman's arm. When the man reveals they speak Hebrew, one tourist declares, 'Oh right, you're Israeli... fake state of Israel', with the other adding, 'It doesn't exist. Israel doesn't exist'. The abuse escalates as they ask if the couple are part of the Israel Defence Forces and have 'killed innocent civilians in Palestine'.
One of the most alarming aspects of the rant involves the tourists referencing the number 109, which is shorthand for an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory claiming Jews have been expelled from 109 different countries. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) identifies this as a common anti-Semitic trope. One tourist states, 'A hundred and ten countries you've been thrown out', alluding to the notion that the United States or another location should become the 110th. She further claims, 'Everywhere you go, you're going to be hated. Nobody likes you'.
Escalation of Abuse and Political Chants
As the Israeli couple attempts to ignore the provocation, the tourists intensify their harassment. They deliver chants including 'Viva, viva Iran' and 'Boom, boom, Tel Aviv, this is what you get for all your evil deeds'. When the Israeli woman tries to defuse the situation by saying, 'Okay - we've got the opinion. Now can you shut the f*** up?', one tourist retorts, 'No! Don't you dare tell us to shut the f*** up. You are monsters, you're savages... shameful'.
The tourists also use the Hebrew and Yiddish term 'goyim', meaning non-Jews, with one saying, 'we're just goyim aren't we, we're just worthless animals', while the other tells the couple, 'You're superior'. They demand the Israelis condemn Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, shouting, 'Do you oppose genocide? Do you oppose it? Say you oppose it!'
Couple's Departure and Continued Taunts
Eventually, the Israeli man and woman decide to leave the restaurant, but the abuse persists. The British tourists mock their departure, with one saying, 'Go, get lost', and the other adding, 'Run away, run away, like the Palestinians run to try and live everyday'. They continue, 'I hope Israel falls' and 'Well now the Israelis are getting bombed'.
As the couple clears their table, one tourist adjusts the camera to keep filming, taunting, 'Go on, look at them, look at the rats running away, go on rats', while the other chants, 'Scurry, scurry, scurry!' and calls them 'genocidal'. When the Israeli man asks if they feel good, they respond, 'Yeah we feel good, we feel amazing. Do you feel amazing after murdering innocent civilians?'
Community Security Trust Condemns Incident
A spokesperson from the Community Security Trust (CST) told the Daily Mail, 'The footage circulating online of Israeli tourists being harassed by British tourists while on holiday is utterly disgraceful. This is blatant racism masquerading as so-called anti-Zionism and exposes the antisemitism that is all too common in anti-Israel circles.' The statement underscores the severity of the incident, highlighting how anti-Semitic rhetoric is often disguised as political criticism.
Related Anti-Semitic Attack in Venice
In a separate incident from September 2025, a Jewish couple were violently assaulted in Venice by a group of ten migrants who chanted 'Free Palestine'. The attackers, described as North African men, set an unmuzzled Rottweiler on the American and Israeli pair, who were wearing Orthodox clothing, on Strada Nuova near the Rialto Bridge. The assault involved slapping, throwing a glass bottle that injured the woman's ankle, and was only stopped by officers from Italy's Guardia di Finanza.
A 31-year-old Tunisian man was arrested and charged with assault, receiving a two-year ban from entering Venice. This attack, along with the Vietnam incident, illustrates a troubling pattern of anti-Semitic hostility targeting Jewish and Israeli individuals in international settings, often under the guise of political activism.
