- Hundreds gathered in opposition, with diners supporting the restaurants.

## Summary

Philadelphia’s Democratic Socialists of America condemned criticism of a bicycle boycott targeting restaurants described by organisers as pro-Israel and Jewish-owned. The group called the backlash political repression of anti-Zionism, while city and state officials said the planned event was antisemitic and would intimidate Jewish businesses.

The ride was promoted by four local groups and named at least six restaurants in Rittenhouse Square. It was scheduled on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, prompting particular condemnation. Philly DSA said it neither organised nor endorsed the ride, and argued that officials had conflated anti-Zionism with antisemitism; on Sunday, hundreds of Jewish and pro-Israel community members gathered to oppose the event, while diners showed support for the targeted restaurants.
