Jewish eatery protests

A pro-Palestinian group’s boycott bike ride targeting six Jewish-owned restaurants in Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square drew about 300 demonstrators and 200 counterprotesters on Sunday, with heated exchanges across several blocks. Police said three people were arrested, two officers sustained minor injuries, and no property damage was reported. The event, held on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, was condemned by the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia as antisemitic; organizers said the ride had been misrepresented and described it as nonviolent.
