A pro-Palestine TikToker has unleashed a campaign of terror on a Israeli Los Angeles coffee chain — proudly posting a video of herself harassing patrons to leave the business.

The influencer @redheadheretic posted a clip to her more than 23,000 followers showing the keffiyeh-wearing agitator inside the West Hollywood location of Couplet Coffee railing against its owner.

She called the chain’s owner, Gefen Skolnick, “super pro-Israel” and urged patrons to leave the shop.  

The TikToker — real name Madison Dunaetz — has attacked the chain more than once.

She has posted several clips bashing the business, including one in which she said she wanted everyone to know the owner’s parents were from Israel.

“Gefen loves Israel,” Dunaetz said in the clip. 

In her videos, she regularly shames Israeli-linked businesses across Los Angeles, telling her viewers to boycott them.

Dunaetz went after the owner of an LA food truck as part of her sick campaign because the owner is a “Zionist” who “goes to Israel” and posts photos vacationing there, she wrote.

She also took aim at Laurel Supply, an organic market and grill in Santa Monica.

Her reason for the hit job stemmed from the shop originally stocking its shelves with a “super cool” Palestinian-owned brand of olive oil before allegedly removing it.

Skolnick, Couplet Coffee’s founder, identifies herself on the company’s website a “proud queer woman and coffee lover.”

She first started selling her unique blend of coffee online in 2022 and finally opened a shop in LA in 2025, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Couplet has five locations throughout Southern California, including outposts in West Hollywood, Echo Park, and Santa Monica.
