Montenegro: Watch the harassment of the Israelis – who did not remain indebted

A group of Israeli tourists visiting the town of Flav in Montenegro was harassed by a man and a woman, apparently locals. The incident, which was recorded by the man who attacked the group, was uploaded to social media and went viral. Among other things, the couple slammed Israelis: “Have you taken a break from genocide?”, “You don’t need to go for a trip, stay in the place you call Israel.”

During the recording, one of the Israeli tourists is heard addressing the man filming in an attempt to stop the harassment and prevent the development of the confrontation. “Keep walking, don’t talk to us,” said the young Israeli who added: “You don’t know me.” Another member of the group was heard saying in Hebrew: “Leave, leave. Don’t treat him.”

However, the calming attempts did not help, the man who filmed continued to accuse the group and personally addressed one of the travelers: “I know your mother who kills children.” He also shouted at them that they were “baby killers” who committed “genocide”, while the woman in the video shouted at them that they “should be ashamed”.

Plav is a town located in the north-east of Montenegro, in a mountainous area near the border with Albania and Kosovo. Demographically and culturally, the area is part of the Haaretz Sanjak, and is home to a large Muslim population.

The event joins the reality where speaking Hebrew becomes a risk for Israelis traveling around the world. Following similar incidents, Israeli security officials issued warnings to travelers staying in foreign countries and recently warned that speaking Hebrew during trips abroad has become a risk for travelers.
