An Israeli couple was harassed by British tourists while dining in Vietnam, with chants of “Boom boom Tel Aviv” and slurs including calling them “rats.” The incident also included references to antisemitic tropes about Jews being expelled from multiple countries.

Many people have watched this video and praised the Israeli security forces for detecting the infiltration. I watch it and feel something else - sadness. We don’t yet know who these men are, but they’re likely not terrorists. They’re people trying to get into Israel to work, to earn a living and to provide for their families and if that means cramming in to a garbage truck then they are willing to do it. That’s why this video isn’t an accomplishment but a reminder that another people lives here too - most of whom want what anyone else wants: a job, stability, a future for their children. And yet beyond military operations - in Gaza, in the West Bank - there is no political horizon. Talks happen in Washington about Lebanon, but closer to home it’s as if there’s nothing to discuss. That’s not just bad policy. It’s wrong.




When we have British tourists abroad behaving like Nazis there’s a problem here.
