'Blatant act of antisemitism': Gov. Shapiro condemns pro-Palestinian protest outside Jewish-owned Ph...

Pennsylvania’s governor condemned a pro-Palestinian protest outside of a Jewish-owned restaurant in Center City, describing the rally as a “blatant act of antisemitism.”

You see, the owner/chef Michael Solomonov is a peace activist who gave money to an ambulance fund which mumble mumble mumble genocide

kinda hope someone will dig down to see who's organizing these things

I would ask these people - completely seriously - what, exactly, are you trying to do here? Protests are supposed to actually do something to advance a goal - otherwise it's just a very belligerent flash mob

"This is out of context. I was there. They made it clear it was because the owner gave millions to a nonprofit that funds the IDF. Literally never said anything about the owner being Israeli or Jewish. As a Jew myself I had no problem with this part of the march." philly.eater.com/2023/12/4/23...

Here’s What We Know About the Protests Surrounding Michael Solomonov’s Restaurants

Pro-Palestine protesters took to Goldie in Center City to protest, following the call for a boycott

If they had shouted also: 'Hamas, give all hostages back and deliver Sinwar with it' than they would have a point.

I'm really astonished to see that "he's Israeli" has become the sum total of the justification for this kind of behavior. I shouldn't be, but I am.

There are legitimate criticisms of the Israeli gov’t and the war crimes it is perpetrating in Gaza. That being said, this is completely fucking stupid and yes, veers heavily into antisemitic territory. Protest arms companies, protest financial institutions, don’t protest people who did nothing.

Story on Twitter is that the owners fired at least one employee for pro-palestinian speech, but I don't remember the details exactly

What the actual fuck is wrong with these people? This is an act of abject stupidity. They're too lazy to do do something meaningful so they stand and shout outside a falafel restaurant? As my Dad would have said, these morons need a good swift kick in the seat of their pants.

We live in a nightmare world
