Noa Kochba, the latest to be chosen as Israel's beauty queen, was injured after being attacked during a pro-Palestinian demonstration in New York. Kochva and her friends, equipped with the Israeli flag and pamphlets, held their own small counter-demonstration.

Kochba was injured by an elbow she received in front of her from one of the demonstrators, which accidentally and luckily missed her eye. "I'm fine and I don't have a concussion, Israel is alive," she said.
