US: Clashes at Pro-Palestinian Protest Against Jewish-Owned Restaurants in Philadelphia

|
Clashes erupted in Philadelphia between pro-Palestinian protesters and counter-protesters who came to support Jewish-owned restaurants, following a protest event dubbed the 'Boycott Ride.' Three people were arrested and two police officers were lightly injured. Hundreds of residents flocked to the targeted restaurants, including those owned by Israeli-American chef Michael Solomonov, with long lines stretching outside them. The protest was organized by the anti-Zionist bicycle group 'Philly Bike On Your Left,' which called for a boycott of six businesses it labeled as 'Zionist establishments.' The demonstration was held one day before the anniversary of Kristallnacht, but the organizers denied deliberately choosing the date. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker condemned the boycott.
