Bipartisan condemnation floods Israel and Palestine protests in Philadelphia

(The Center Square) – The targeted boycott Sunday of Jewish-owned businesses in Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square drew bipartisan condemnation from area lawmakers as hundreds of residents gathered to counterprotest. The highly publicized event gained traction across multiple media outlets when Philly Bike On Your Left, a cycling group that posts on Instagram and routinely organizes protests against Israeli action in Gaza and federal immigration enforcement in the city, encouraged others to join the ride. Philadelphia police estimated 500 in Rittenhouse Square. Some of that total figure were in opposition to the protests. The plan, according to their statement , was to boycott Jewish-owned businesses in Rittenhouse Square they say express support for Israeli military action in Palestine following the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-driven attack on its citizens as they slept in their beds. Hamas, a recognized terrorist organization, has controlled the Gaza Strip since 2007. The Palestinian Ministry of Health says 75,000 civilians have died during Israel’s retaliatory military action. Counter-protestors who flooded the area Sunday to push back against the cyclists, backed by statements from Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike called the boycott “antisemitic and shameful” and disconnected from the war. The timing – between the anniversary of the Hamas

Philly DSA claims backlash to Jewish business boycott is ‘repression’

Philadelphia’s branch of the Democratic Socialists of America is claiming that the anti-Israel movement is being repressed because of the backlash against another group’s Sunday boycott of Jewish-owned businesses in the City of Brotherly Love. The DSA group doubled down on the poorly planned boycott , which was held on the eve of the Kristallnacht Nazi night of terror, claiming the outrage against Sunday’s effort was unwarranted and belittled the boycotters’ message. “From the Senator Fetterman and Congressman Boyle to Governor Shapiro, Mayor Parker, and Council President Johnson, politicians have joined a chorus of bad-faith and dangerous conflation of antisemitism with anti-Zionism and invoking comparisons of the Kristallnacht that trivialize trauma and suppress political speech,” the group said in a statement. Philadelphia’s branch of the Democratic Socialists of America condemned the backlash against its boycott of Jewish-owned businesses in the city. phillydsa.org Philly ‘Kristallnacht’ protests at Jewish-owned businesses drowned out, shouted down by huge crowds A protester on a bicycle rides past shops in Philly’s ritzy Rittenhouse Square.
