United States: Organizers of a pro Palestinian bicycle protest in Philadelphia that called for boycotting Jewish and Israeli owned restaurants and driving them out of the city have canceled another demonstration planned for Sunday.
The cancellation follows a turnout of hundreds of residents supporting the targeted businesses during the previous protest, held on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht. Among the restaurants targeted were those of Israeli American chef Michael Solomonov.
The organizers, who had called for “Zionist institutions” to be driven out of Philadelphia, claimed they faced death threats and violence from supporters of Israel but provided no evidence for those claims.
Philadelphia’s Jewish federation welcomed the cancellation while warning that the boycott campaign continues. The Jewish community announced plans to hold its own bicycle ride on Sunday in support of Israel and Jewish businesses.
TO BE CLEAR... WE will still be there in Philly... because we don't stop.
Meet us Sunday November 15th at the Rocky Statue!

Last week's antisemitic "Boycott Ride" in Philadelphia backfired miserably, with people lining up for hours to support Jewish-owned businesses.
The Boycott Ride organizers have now canceled their planned follow-up event.

@Abraham49010511@TMZ Meaningful? Hegseth doesn't need to be impeached. Democrats ran on affordability, low gas prices, and free stuff. All you're getting is more senseless stuff.
