Its a great example that we all need to stop sticking our heads in the sand. This is not going away. We need to first and foremost fight for ourselves, and then ask allies to fight alongside for decency, humanity, and the future. And for those Jews who prefer to fall on a sword than wield it. They will come for you too, no matter how righteous your arrogance blinds you. Am Yisrael Chai!

THREE hundred people participated in the anti-Israel boycott. And only TWO hundred demonstrated against them? HUNDREDS - in a city of millions -lined up to eat there? The mayor "condemned targeting of Jewish businesses?" But evidently was nowhere to be seen. Why wasn't she there to eat? Who else showed up? Councilpeople? Philadelphia area state and national representatives? Who were the officials who actually were there? How many?

Though the protest and the response were far , far from Kristallnacht, the description of the support draws a picture that is far from sunshine and flowers.

This is incorrect. There were thousands supporting the restaurants

Please try to be positive. Negativity does not help us. Be hopeful please! ❤️

"Jews must stop behaving as though every public expression of Jewish pride needs to be balanced by an apology to people who resent it." Agree with this statement. Either stand and fight back or Kristallnacht WILL come again and expect more Islamic outrages. I live in Virginia and if I'd been able I'd have gone to one of these businesses and supported them and booed the bicycle riders.

One victory. Need many more.

Of note DSA Philly listed this vile ‘protest’ on their website.

Understand what the DSA is.
