Far left activist Moussi Raz said that Pini Cohen, the man arrested last week for throwing a shoe at High Court judge Dorit Beinish, is a resident of Maale Adumim, which makes him a "settler," Raz wrote in an entry on his Facebook page over the weekend. "It would have been widely publicized if he was an Arab or an immigrant from Russia, so why was there no publicity that he was a settler?," Raz wrote.
Cohen, who was questioned by police for several hours after the incident last week, said that he wanted to apologize to Beinish.
