## Summary

A boycott targeting Jewish-owned businesses in Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square drew a large counterprotest over the weekend. The demonstration coincided with the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the 1938 Nazi-led attacks on Jews and Jewish property, and prompted condemnation from several prominent Pennsylvania Democrats.

Congressman-elect Christopher Rabb, a critic of Israel who will represent the area in Congress, did not respond to questions about whether he supported the boycott or its aims. Flyers reportedly used the slogans “No business for Zionists” and “Not in our city”; Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Philadelphia City Council President Kenyatta Johnson and Senator John Fetterman condemned the demonstration. The Philadelphia chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America said it had neither organised nor endorsed it.
