Roi Star is an Israeli ultranationalist influencer.[1][2][3] Star commonly attends protests with left-wing activists.[4]
Career
[edit]In January 2026, Star forcibly entered a home in the West Bank, pepper spraying activists.[4][5][6] He was arrested during a protest in Habima Square after reportedly pepper spraying other protesters.[4]
Both Star and fellow activist Mordechai David, who also appeared at the homes of several left-wing activists, were barred by an Israeli court from harassing Sigal Shukron from the anti-occupation group Looking the Occupation in the Eye.[7]
In April 2026, TikTok removed Star's account for violating bullying and hate speech roles, after videos of Roi harassing activists in the occupied West Bank were flagged by The Guardian.[8]
