A Los Angeles TikToker with over 23,000 followers filmed herself entering a West Hollywood coffee shop and demanding customers leave, claiming the business owner supports Israel. Madison Dunaetz, who posts under the handle redheadheretic, has launched multiple videos targeting local businesses she accuses of Israeli connections, turning her social media platform into a harassment campaign against small business owners.
Activist Targets Multiple LA Businesses
Dunaetz entered the West Hollywood location of Couplet Coffee and recorded herself confronting patrons. In the video, she identified owner Gefen Skolnick as someone whose parents are from Israel, urging customers to boycott the establishment. The TikToker thanked people who left the shop after her disruption. This incident represents just one of several attacks Dunaetz has launched against Couplet, repeatedly posting content about the business to her substantial following.
The self-described leftist activist has expanded her campaign beyond Couplet Coffee. She targeted an LA food truck owner for being what she termed a Zionist who visits Israel and posts vacation photos. Dunaetz also criticized Laurel Supply, an organic market in Santa Monica, claiming the shop removed a Palestinian-owned olive oil brand from its shelves. Her content includes posts titled “How to identify an Israeli owned restaurant” and “Los Angeles or Tel Aviv,” suggesting a systematic effort to identify and shame businesses with perceived Israeli connections.
Business Owner Focuses on Coffee, Not Politics
Skolnick describes herself on the Couplet Coffee website as a proud queer woman and coffee lover who felt intimidated by specialty coffee culture. She launched the business in 2022, initially selling her unique coffee blend online before opening a physical location in Los Angeles in 2025. The company now operates five locations throughout Southern California, including shops in West Hollywood, Echo Park, and Santa Monica. Skolnick makes no mention of Israel or political affiliations on her business website, focusing entirely on her passion for making specialty coffee accessible to everyone.
Activist Declines Comment
When contacted by The California Post, Dunaetz refused to discuss her actions or explain her targeting of local businesses. She stated “I have no comment” before ending the conversation abruptly. Her TikTok biography identifies her as a Los Angeles native who studied in Palestine in 2017. The activist refers to herself as a “Leftist Karen” in her content, appearing to acknowledge the confrontational nature of her approach while continuing to post videos identifying and criticizing businesses based on their owners’ backgrounds or perceived political positions.
IDGAF…
These people made a career of harassing and canceling white people for any little thing they took offense too. What comes around goes around. Shoe on the other foot…
Lock her up and throw away the key
The only person who has rights is the one complaining I guess.
Had I been the coffee shop owner and she was scaring away my customers and damaging my business income she would found herself facing immediate arrest closely followed by a lawsuit for every cent she has in the world. How insane and hateful such people are!
Maybe she should go to Iran and live!!
Maybe she needs to be harassed. Follow her and dox her. Anyone as hateful as she has a skeleton in their closet. Pull it out. Make it hard for her. If you start trouble you deserve trouble.
Why give that miserable b…. the time of day? What gave her the right to impose on others like that. Let her go back to Palestine. She will perfectly fit, her lifestyle miserable behavior.
Obviously a left wind dingbat. What is the problem with these idiots. Some people really
to get some corrective therapy, like a good slobberknocker as Madden called it.
So sick of these types, and wish they would go to Palestine territory to spare us of
this crap.
She posts under redheadedheretic. Should be redheadeddumpsterfire. She, like most protesters, is short on facts and long on dumb. That shop owner should have had her locked up.
The people that follow her on Tik Tok (and ultimately fund this) are the real idiots here
My comment is ‘awaiting moderation’. I guess ‘newsblock means blocking posts you don’t agree with
In regards to coffee I am interested in only one thing a good cup of black coffee. Not burnt tasting. If her shop provides that I dont care what nationality she is or what sexuality. Just can she make a good cup of black coffee.
I would’ve left too, but I would’ve definitely come back to patronize this shop as much as possible! What an idiot!
