Shameful moment laughing British tourists film themselves hurling sickening abuse at Israelis

By IMOGEN GARFINKEL - SENIOR FOREIGN NEWS REPORTER Published: 13:47, 17 April 2026 | Updated: 13:58, 17 April 2026 This is the moment a pair of laughing British tourists filmed themselves hurling abuse at Israelis in a restaurant in Vietnam. In the video that has gone viral on X, the British women can be heard accusing the couple of being 'murderers', 'savages', 'monsters' and 'rats', and ordering them to 'scurry' away. 'Kick them out of all countries', says one of the tourists, before the other adds: 'A hundred and ten countries you've been thrown out.' The number 109 is shorthand for an anti-Semitic claim that Jews have been expelled from 109 different countries, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The concept of 109 expulsions has also led to frequent use of the number 110, generally to urge that the United States or some other location be the next and 110th place to expel Jews. 'Everywhere you go, you're going to be hated,' one of the woman claims, adding: 'Nobody likes you.' The Israeli man and women eventually get up to leave the restaurant as a result of the insults, but the abuse continues even as they clear their table. The clip was shared widely on Instagram, where pro-Palestine supporters praised the British women in the comments, with one writing: 'Well done ladies.' This is the moment a pair of laughing British tourists filmed themselves hurling abuse at Israelis in a restaurant in Vietnam In the video that has gone viral on X, the British women can be heard accusing the couple of being 'murderers', 'savages', 'monsters' and 'rats', and ordering them to 'scurry' away The video begins with the British tourists questioning where the couple are from, after spotting a tattoo on the arm of the woman. 'You're from Palestine?' one of the tourists asks, before the Israeli woman smiles and says: 'It's difficult.' 'I don't think they're from Palestine,' the other British woman says, laughing. The couple are then asked if they speak Arabic, and the man responds that they speak Hebrew. 'Oh right, you're Israeli... fake state of Israel,' one of the women says. 'It doesn't exist. Israel doesn't exist,' the other states, before asking the couple if they're part of the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) and if they've 'killed innocent civilians in Palestine'. The conversation descends from there, as the Israeli couple realise the tourists aren't just asking innocent questions, but are trying to start an argument.   The video continues, with one of the women saying 'we're just goyim aren't we, we're just worthless animals', as the other tourist says to the couple: 'You're superior.' Goyim is a Hebrew and Yiddish term for non-Jews. The tourists continue their abuse by delivering chants, including 'Viva, viva Iran' and 'Boom, boom, Tel Aviv, this is what you get for all your evil deeds'. As the Israeli woman tries to continue eating and ignore the singing, the Israeli man stands up and calls the situation 'ridiculous'. 'It is ridiculous - killing children is ridiculous', one of the women responds, before asking: 'Do you oppose genocide? Do you oppose it? Say you oppose it!' 'Say you're against Netanyahu,' she continues, referring to the Israeli Prime Minister.  'What about Ben Gvir?' she says, about the country's hard-Right national security minister. 'Okay - we've got the opinion. Now can you shut the f*** up?' the Israeli woman says. 'No! Don't you dare tell us to shut the f*** up. Don't you dare,' one woman responds, adding: 'You are monsters, you're savages... shameful.' The couple decide to leave the restaurant, prompting the British women to spew more hate. 'Go, get lost,' one says, before the other adds: 'Run away, run away, like the Palestinians run to try and live everyday.' 'I hope Israel falls,' she continues, as the other woman chimes in: 'Well now the Israelis are getting bombed.' 'Do you feel good now?' the Israeli man asks them as he stands up from the table, ready to leave the restaurant.  'Yeah we feel good, we feel amazing,' the women respond. 'Do you feel amazing after murdering innocent civilians?' 'I'm enjoying my vacation,' the Israeli man seems to say, but it's difficult to make out his speech as the women raise their voices. 'Yeah, I'm enjoying mine as well. Unfortunately, you guys are everywhere,' one of the women says. 'Murderer, murderer, murderer,' she calls out, as the other accuses the couple of being 'shameful' and an 'absolute disgrace'. Before the video stops, one of the British tourists picks up the camera to adjust its angle, so she can carry on filming the Israelis as they clear their table. 'Go on, look at them, look at the rats running away, go on rats,' she says as a last taunt. 'Scurry, scurry, scurry!' the other women adds, before calling them 'genocidal'.  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 tourists continue their abuse by delivering chants, including 'Viva, viva Iran' and 'Boom, boom, Tel Aviv, this is what you get for all your evil deeds' The Israeli man and women eventually get up to leave the restaurant as a result of the insults, but the abuse continues even as they clear their table In a separate incident from September 2025, a Jewish couple were beaten up by ten migrants who chanted 'Free Palestine' before setting a rottweiler on them during an anti-Semitic attack in Venice. North African men approached the American and Israeli pair shortly before midnight as they strolled down Strada Nuova, one of the main shopping streets near the Rialto Bridge. The terrified due, who were wearing Orthodox clothing, tried to run away but were chased and surrounded by the group, who chanted 'Free Palestine'. One then set his unmuzzled rottweiler on the tourists, while another slapped the man, according to Italian news agency AGI. A glass bottle was also thrown during the assault, shattering and injuring the woman's ankle. The attack was eventually stopped by officers from the Guardia di Finanza, Italy's heavily-armed financial crime unit, who intervened after they saw what was happening. A 31-year-old Tunisian man, who had slapped the tourist, was arrested, alongside two others.  He was charged with assault and banned from entering the city of Venice for two years.
