When the vlogger and his companion went to another bar, they were permitted entry and were greeted with respect. The video was uploaded in Youtube on April 9, 2024.

Intent:
Terror sympathizers are circulating short video clips of Indian vloggers with false claims to set their propaganda to create a rift between Indians and Israelis. A short video clip of an Indian vlogger has been shared claiming that he was not allowed to enter the bars in Israel because of his Indian identity. He did go into a pub, thus these accusations are untrue and made up. Since it was a weekend and the bar was already packed, the vlogger and his friend kindly refused to enter, as shown in the entirety of the video on his YouTube channel. While visiting another bar, the vlogger and his friend were greeted with courtesy, given good treatment, and permitted entry.
Conclusion:
Claim : An Indian vlogger has gone viral with a little video clip in which it is claimed that his Indian identity prevented him from entering Israeli bars.
Fact : The fact is that these claims are fake and fabricated, as he did enter a bar.

The vlogger and his friend visited another bar and were welcomed respectfully, treated well, and allowed to enter the bar.
