Philadelphia activists plan a 'Boycott Ride' past Jewish-owned restaurants the night before Kristallnacht

FACTS

Anti-Israel groups in Philadelphia are planning a "Boycott Ride" from Rittenhouse Square on Sunday, Nov. 8, the eve of the Kristallnacht anniversary. The route targets Jewish- and Israeli-owned businesses, including Dizengoff, Goldie, K'Far Cafe, Huda, Schlesinger's and Mac Mart, JNS and the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia report.

The Federation called the ride antisemitic and urged city officials to condemn it, police to protect the businesses, and Philadelphians to go eat there. Jewish Insider reports the organizers are calling for the businesses to be forced out of the city.
