## Summary

A bicycle protest in Philadelphia is targeting six Jewish-owned restaurants, with organisers calling them “Zionist establishments” and demanding they close. The opinion article argues that the campaign’s focus on owners who are Jewish, including people whose businesses have no stated connection to Israel, shows how anti-Zionist language can be used to justify antisemitism.

The protest is scheduled for 8 November, close to the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the 1938 Nazi pogrom in which more than 1,400 synagogues were burned and Jewish businesses were destroyed. Organisers acknowledged knowing the date’s significance but said their event is a day earlier; the article criticises that explanation and their response to accusations of antisemitism.
