The Jerusalem Post reported today (Monday) that a BDS activist from the United States, Ariel Gold, filed an application for a restraining order against Anat Cohen of the Jewish community in Hevron and that the request would be heard in the Jerusalem District Court on Wednesday.
Cohen was surprised to hear the news when Arutz Sheva contacted her.She made an inquiry and then confirmed that a request for a restraining order had indeed been filed against her.
"I went out to work in the morning and saw her arguing with one of our boys, a little boy, and I just told her to leave the street if she only came to fight with little children," Anat Cohen told Arutz sheva."I told her, go to al-Aqsa, where she will have someone to identify with, go to Halamish, where she may be happy to see the disaster that befell us there.
"For some reason, this whole gang likes to do their harassing here," Cohen said."I live here, I have 11 children here, I have been living here for 35 years and she came to our streets to quarrel and provoke.
"She went to court to issue a restraining order," she added."Why? Who is she? She should say thank you that she was even allowed to breathe the air here; she is violent, I do not touch these types, how do I know what diseases they carry with them?"
Gold, a New York State resident, belongs to an extreme feminist organization called Code Pink, and has initiated many provocations over the years, including holding a sign for the boycott of Israel at the Western Wall plaza. She also interfered with actor Ashton Kutcher's presentation, because the company he is invested in does not boycott Israel.
Gold is Jewish, and according to her - as quoted in Haaretz - she is a descendant of Rabbi Yosef Karo.Israel Hayom wrote three weeks ago that her entry into Israel was a failure on part of the authorities, who were not aware of her extremist affiliation.
