An anti-Israel TikTokker who amassed millions of views for wrecking a decorative string of Greek flags that she confused for Israeli outside a New Jersey eatery was busted for the ludicrous blunder.
Amber Matthews, 23, was charged with bias and intimidation on Tuesday for ripping down the Greek flags attached to the awning of Efi’s Gyro in Montclair on March 11, according to the Montclair Police Department.
Matthews, who goes by “Ambamelia” on social media, posted the video of her hateful rage to TikTok on Oct. 15 — more than seven months after the incident — which has since generated nearly 4.5 million views and millions more on X.
“Free Palestine, bitch!” she said loudly, asking confused-looking staff inside: “What you looking at?”
“You know there’s a genocide,” she barked 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 said proudly — while holding up a fistful of ripped-down Greek flags.
Two staff members eventually came out, looking confused and embarrassed for the hysterical hater — and one gently pointed out that the white and blue flags represent Greece, not Israel.
“What? Really? Oh, I thought it was Israel — my bad,” she responded.

“… charged with bias…”
?? Bias is illegal? The crime should be a property crime.
You can be charged with bias? Rough road for Cowboys fans in Jersey.
Agreed.... This hate crime crap is just a vehicle against the first amendment. Not that the idiot deserves to be punished for her stupidity in her property crime.
When Mary McCarthy said that “antisemitism is the intellectualism of stupid people,” she would also include this individual.”

I don’t miss these types at all. This one is a special kind of stupid.
this is what we are dealing with today the mentally ill stupid
She’d have gotten away with it, if it had been an actual Israeli flag.
She was feeling really blue that day.
With Democrats running things, probably
She was channeling her inner-Democrat-Kamala-Harris that day
You can be arrested for destroying a Greek or Israeli flag, but destroying an American flag is free speech and perfectly fine?
They’re both pretty flags. Ours is the best, though.
These idiots have no idea what they are about. The do as they are told.
Amber. Of course.
Was the perp taking mind altering drugs?
“?? Bias is illegal? The crime should be a property crime.”
She should be charged with civil rights violations and spend some time at Gitmo.
