Through the Static

On the evening of April 19, Mercer Island-based nonprofit StandWithUs Northwest organized a speaking event at the Seattle Town Hall, located at 1119 8th Ave, that featured former IOF soldier Noa Cochva. The event was dubbed “Women Warriors – On the Frontlines in Battle and in the Courtroom.” About 50 protesters turned out to let the attendees and Cochva know she is not welcome in the City of Seattle, particularly not in a community gathering place like Town Hall.

TtS captured reactions of event attendees as they trickled in. Propagandist Ari Hoffman, who refers to himself as a “Aggressive Zionist,” stated there were 300 people in the event. TtS cannot confirm the exact number of attendees, but when the attendees left as SPD kettled protesters, it looked like about 100 folks maximum.
