A pro-Palestine TikToker has unleashed a campaign of terror on a Los Angeles coffee chain — proudly posting a video of herself inside the shop telling patrons to leave simply because she said the java joint was “pro-Israel.”
The keffiyeh-wearing content creator, who goes by @redheadherertic, shared a clip to her 23,000-plus followers showing her inside the West Hollywood location of Couplet Coffee raging against its owner.
In the clip, she describes owner Gefen Skolnick as “super pro-Israel” and urges patrons to boycott the shop.

It isn’t the first time the TikToker — real name Madison Dunaetz — has attacked Couplet.
She’s posted several clips bashing the business, including one in which she announced that the owner’s parents were from Israel.

In other videos, the TikToker regularly shames businesses across Los Angeles that she cla have ties to Israel.
In one, Dunaetz went after the owner of an LA food truck because the owner is a “Zionist” who “goes to Israel” and posts photos vacationing there, she calimed.
In one video, Dunaetz said she wanted everyone to know the owner of the shop’s parents were from Israel. Tiktok/@redheadhererticShe also took aim at Laurel Supply, an organic market and grill in Santa Monica, claiming the shop had stocked its shelves with a “super cool” Palestinian-owned brand of olive oil before allegedly removing it.
She has titled other posts “How to identify an ‘Israeli’ owned restaurant” and “Los Angeles or ‘Tel Aviv’?!”
Dunaetz, who referred to herself at a “Leftist Karen” in another clip, states in her TikTok bio that she’s an LA native who “studied in Palestine” in 2017.
Despite her pointed criticism, she declined to elaborate when reached by The California Post.
“I have no comment,” she said, before hanging up on a reporter.
Couplet Coffee owner Skolnick identifies herself a “proud queer woman and coffee lover” on the company’s website while making no mention of Israel.
“I’ve been obsessed with coffee since I was 13 but I always felt intimidated by specialty coffee,” she wrote. “I started Couplet in order to bring the love and joy of great-tasting, specialty coffee to the masses.”
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.
