Counterprotesters confront boycott ride aimed at Jewish-run businesses

A planned "bike ride boycott" in Philadelphia was met with a large counterprotest in Rittenhouse Square on the morning of Nov. 8.

There was at least one arrest at the protest amid the yelling matches and occasional shoving between protesters on both sides. Rick Zietelman arrived at the protest with his bike, but he was there in support of the listed businesses and of Israel. He dressed
