When they show you who they are, then you better believe them.
It’s not about Palestine. It’s not just about Israel. It’s about Jews.
An antisemitic mob targeted Goldie, an award-winning restaurant run by Michael Solomonov, in Philadelphia, PA.
The mob shouted antisemitic chants at the Jewish and Israeli-owned falafel restaurant.
David Frum, who has been outspoken about the antisemitism plaguing the country, wrote:
An antisemitic mob has descended on Michael Solomonov’s falafel restaurant in Philadelphia. They demand a boycott of Jewish goods. Michael Solomonov is a James Beard Award-winning chef. He makes some of the best hummus outside Israel, as well as outstanding lamb and other dishes. It all ships via Goldbelly. If you want to send a message of your own to the boycotters, you can do so here. https://t.co/hJHP1t3yoY
Alex Zeldin, author at The Forward, stated the obvious:
A “Jewish and Israeli owned falafel restaurant” in Philadelphia cannot do a single thing about Israel’s military campaign against Hamas.What you’re looking at is people normalizing antisemitic incitement against their Jewish neighbors.
Middle east analyst Eli Kowaz wrote:
In Philadelphia, protestors outside falafel restaurant “Goldie” chant:“Goldie, Goldie you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide.”Goldie is owned by American-Israeli Chef Mike Solomonov, an outspoken advocate of Israeli-Palestinian peace.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro also condemned the mob:
Tonight in Philly, we saw a blatant act of antisemitism — not a peaceful protest.A restaurant was targeted and mobbed because its owner is Jewish and Israeli. This hate and bigotry is reminiscent of a dark time in history.
