Huge Crowds Silence Controversial Protest Outside Philly Jewish Businesses
A restaurant supporter wearing a New York Giants jersey says he traveled from New York to eat at every business targeted by a Philadelphia boycott. In the New York Post's report, he describes long waits; footage outside Goldie shows patrons lining up.
The report follows a pro-Palestinian bicycle protest through Rittenhouse Square on November 8, where counter-demonstrators gathered in support of Jewish-owned restaurants. It names the targeted eateries: Mac Mart, Huda Burger, Dizengoff, K'Far Cafe, Goldie and Schlesinger's.
Mayor Cherelle Parker's response appears on screen: "Singling out businesses because their owners are Jewish is unacceptable and has no place in our city."
An exchange with a masked cyclist raises a more specific question. Asked about Mac Mart, he says patrons should research the restaurants but acknowledges that he does not know why that business was targeted. He also says he is not a spokesperson for the movement.
The Short drew about 111,000 views within six hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for this format. Its street footage moves between jeering crowds, cyclists and police, before returning to restaurant supporters, including the visitor who says he came to patronize every targeted establishment.
