Two Israeli tourists were recently harassed by an employee at a California hotel with questions like \u201cAre you a baby killer?\u201d and \u201cDid you serve in the IDF?,\u201d according to video shared Saturday on social media.<\/p>\n

The interaction, which apparently took place Friday night, was filmed and uploaded by the man working at the front desk of the hotel in Cambria, California.<\/p>\n

In the video, which starts in the middle of the interaction, the man is heard saying, \u201cAll I said was free Palestine.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Israeli woman then replied that he needs to be \u201cobjective\u201d toward clients and \u201cshould be ashamed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you a Zionist?\u201d the employee then asked.<\/p>\n

As the couple discussed the situation between themselves in Hebrew, the hotel manager again asked: \u201cDid you serve in the IDF?\u201d\n<\/p>\n

In the caption of the post, the hotel employee said he \u201cstared into the soul of the devil\u201d of an \u201cIDF soldier child killer.\u201d<\/p>\n

No further details have been reported about the incident.<\/p>\n

The incident came amid surging antisemitism in America and as\u00a0anti-Israel sentiment<\/a> spikes among Americans, with Pew Research Center survey released in April showing six in 10 Americans said they have a very or somewhat unfavorable view of Israel, up 20 percentage points since 2022.<\/p>\n

Recent US polls have also found that Democrats and younger respondents are significantly more opposed to the Jewish state.<\/p>\n

In a poll published on Friday by The New York Times and the Siena Research Institute, only seven percent of respondents between the ages of 18 to 44 were more sympathetic<\/a> to Israel in its conflict with the Palestinans, compared to 22% among voters over the age of 45.<\/p>\n
