Last weekend in New York, former Israeli beauty queen Noah Kochba and a group of friends came out with Israeli flags to Times Square, where another pro-Palestinian rally took place.

According to Israel Hayom, Noa was attacked by pro-Palestinian demonstrators in Times Square.
“We knew it wasn’t safe, we were scared, but we couldn’t stop and wanted to show off a little. We were ten Israelis against five thousand crazy people. We had to do it,” writes Noah. “The difference is that we are people reason, and they are people of violence. What logic are they guided by when seeking peace through violence?”
Noa later said she was fine as emergency paramedics treated her, adding: “Am Yisrael chai” (The people of Israel are alive).
