A young Israeli man has sparked outrage after uploading a video to TikTok in which he spits in the face of an Ethiopian boy while saying, "my favorite animal is a nigga."
The shocking incident took place in the resort town of Eilat, Israel, with the boy visibly upset and crying afterward. The young man, who recorded the act with pride, shared the video on social media, prompting widespread condemnation.
The video was later shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Daniel Amram, an Israeli journalist, network anchor, and social activist.
