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.
