Embarrassment

In Montclair, New Jersey, a woman caused a scene at a Greek restaurant when she began tearing down Greek flags while shouting, “Free Palestine, this is genocide!”

Her outburst startled the restaurant staff and customers. However, after being informed about her mistake, she realized the flags were not Israeli but Greek.

A rediscovered video of culture minister Zlatko Hasanbegovic expressing sympathy for Croatia’s WWII Nazi puppet state is yet another embarrassment for the government, critics said.

Elisabetta Canalis' enthusiastic dance at the Vienna Opera Ball ended in embarrassment for the Italian model, who famously dated George Clooney for two years before their breakup in 2011.
