Aviv Ohayon, a right-wing activist who also performs as a drag queen under the name "La Oucha," has gained attention on social media for repeatedly blocking Israeli journalist Guy Peleg. Ohayon posts videos showing ongoing confrontations with Peleg, including mocking remarks such as "Who’s Lady Gaga here?" and sarcastic comments about supporters trying to prevent the blocks, referencing Pride Month.

In these clips, Ohayon appears in drag, wearing high heels, a female jumpsuit, and a wig, sometimes using a megaphone to shout outside Peleg’s home. He describes these actions as "education for leftist activists." Ohayon is seen collaborating with Mordechai David, another known right-wing figure who frequently blocks journalists and public figures online. David has publicly stated he is recruiting more activists to increase their blocking efforts.

This online campaign reflects escalating tensions between right-wing activists and media figures in Israel, with Ohayon’s unique drag persona adding a provocative element to the confrontations. The activists’ goal appears to be silencing or disrupting left-leaning journalists through coordinated social media blocking and harassment.

The situation remains dynamic as Ohayon and his associates continue their campaign, while supporters of Peleg and other journalists attempt to counter these efforts. The conflict highlights the growing use of social media tactics in Israel’s polarized political discourse.
