"[Coulter said] that her new book includes a chapter that the protestors could read because of its "Pro-Israel" sentiments and comments on Israel’s policy on immigration.
Coulter joked by saying that she was finished with the Israel comment and had moved onto commenting on Pope Francis. She was then informed that the protestors were also present because of her anti-Catholic statements.
"It’s not about the Pope, not about Israel, it’s about immigration," Coulter in an interview with Villages-News.com in a back room at the Lake Sumter Landing bookseller." [Mistakes original.]

"Demonstrators held up American and Israeli flags, as well as signs expressing denouncement towards support for Coulter outside the store. Many of the protestors said they felt offended by Coulter’s anti-Semitic Tweet...
"This is an informational demonstration opposed against racial bigotry," said Pastor Drew Willard of United Church of Christ who was invited by Temple Shalom to stand in solidarity for the Jewish people.
All others of the estimated 200 protestors were offended by not only the anti-Semitic comment, but the anti-Catholic Tweet posted by Coulter." [Mistakes original.]
3. Gal Tziperman Lotan posted this article on Orlando Sentinel.
"As a line of Coulter's fans formed inside the bookstore, dozens of protesters gathered outside, waving American and white-and-blue Israeli flags.
They focused not on the book, but on a series of Tweets she wrote during the Sept. 16 Republican presidential debate."
"Steve Lowe, president of Temple Shalom of Central Florida, said a group of community leaders in The Villages read about the tweets and decided to protest Coulter's book signing.
"We just don't feel that we can tolerate any more of the incendiary racial and religious remarks, because they're so divisive to people," he said. "We, as Jews, will not accept it anymore.""
