Former Miss Israel hit in face with sign during Times Square protest: Police sources
NBC ^ | 4/23/2024

A former winner of the Miss Israel beauty pageant was hit in the face with a sign during a pro-Palestinian protest in Times Square in March, according to police, and now the suspect is on the run.

The incident occurred just after 5 p.m. near Broadway and West 46th Street on March 30, police said Tuesday. The woman, identified by police sources as 25-year-old Noa Cochva, was walking at the popular tourist destination when an unknown man started arguing with her.

Cochva, who was crowned Miss Israel in 2021, was then hit in the face with a cardboard sign, law enforcement sources told NBC New York.

The alleged attacker ran off. Cochva refused medical attention, police said.

The beauty queen has shared pictures on her Instagram showing her serve as a medic in the IDF. She posted photos and videos of the encounter as well, captioning a video saying "4 of us Israelis went to counter a protest and were up against 5000 people. We went straight into the heart of the protest and waved the Israeli flag showing our pride. They can intimidate us, outnumber us, rip our flags out of our hands and even be violent, but they will NEVER take away our pride."

Police released an image of the man wanted in the incident.

Anyone with information in regard to the incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website.

These people are nuts. But of course if they were sane they would be protesting Hamas.

We’ve allowed hordes of Muslims into this country since 9/11, thanks to George W, Obama and now Biden. What did people think was going to happen?

People didn’t really have to think; they could have just looked back through the history of satan and his pedophile “prophet” Mohammed and connected the dots.

But people knowing history are a scarce commodity these days.

You know, this could easily end in violence.

More people must ditch liberalism and go “rooftop Korean” in time.

That’s what I am thinking too. They will do this to the wrong person soon.... it’s inevitable.

“We went straight into the heart of the protest and waved the Israeli flag showing our pride.”

That’s like wearing a MAGA cap to a BLM protest. Not exactly a great idea.

Why would black lives matter people not want to make their country great again?

They tried associating it with racism. The whole BLM thing was a Dem psyop.

And yet the worst idea in the long run is to cower before the leftist hordes rather than defy them.

Well they got a good look at him in that video so they should be able to catch him. He’ll probably show up at another protest. She probably would have been safe on a university campus but out on the street who knows what you could encounter.

Probably the very idea, a place to successfully interfere with the enemy’s attempt to portray themselves as civilized.
