3 arrested during Jewish-owned businesses boycott

Customers lined up outside K'Far as a planned bicycle boycott of Jewish-owned businesses brought demonstrators, counter-protesters and police into Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square. NBC10 Philadelphia's Andrew Rowan reports that the confrontations ended with arrests and minor injuries to two officers.

The report follows pro-Palestinian cyclists staging the boycott and counter-protesters carrying Israeli and American flags. Police intervene as scuffles break out. Rowan says police reported three arrests involving assault, disorderly conduct and assault on police.

An organizer says the protest is about Israel, not Judaism. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro condemns the boycott in a statement read by anchor Fred Shropshire, noting that it took place on the anniversary of Kristallnacht.

Away from the confrontations, Rowan shows customers arriving at the targeted restaurants. Huda owner Yehuda Sichel describes an overwhelming turnout of supportive patrons, while a customer outside K'Far speaks about not wanting to see neighbors targeted.

The short report drew roughly 120,000 views in its first day, far beyond NBC10 Philadelphia's usual start for Shorts. Its coverage has continued with a separate report on Jewish community leaders gathering to pray and remember after the protest.
