Leftist boycott harassment campaign against Philadelphia’s Jewish businesses fails miserably

PELONI: As is evident in the report of promulgating Jew Hatred on Jewish shops on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the pursuit of Jew hatred has no boundaries of decency or morality which might restrict or limit the wanton and intentional abuse of its Jewish victims.  Indeed, the example below captures the central, well-documented feature of antisemitism which is its boundless adaptability across ideologies and the ages. Unlike other prejudices that are anchored to a single ideology, Jew-hatred is reinvented to suit its justification in every era while preserving its ultimate conclusion. The medieval hater defended Christianity; the racial hater protected the nation; the Soviet hater fought “Zionist imperialism”; today’s hater claims to defend human rights. Different morality, different vocabulary, with a target consistently aimed on the back of intended innocent Jewish victims as was the purpose of the derivation of the Nazi Kristallnacht exploited against Jewish Philadelphians.

On the even of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, no less. But contrary to what they wanted, crowds thronged in.

Leftist bullies thought they found an easy target in Philadelphia’s small Jewish business community, organizing a ‘boycott’ on bikes to harass their victims.

To make sure the point was clear, they made their planned bike boycott of Jewish estanlishments on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the night of broken glass, where Nazi thugs smashed in the windows of Jewish businesses in Germany, announcing their absolutely evil intentions for Germany’s Jews.

But word got out about this vile plan, including from AT contributor Civis Americanus, who wrote this piece here, and the result was the exact opposite of what they thought they would get away with.

According to Fox 29:

PHILADELPHIA – Tensions ran high in Rittenhouse Square on Sunday as a planned “bike boycott” targeting Jewish-owned businesses was met with an overwhelming counter-demonstration, drawing massive crowds of patrons who lined the streets.

According to Philadelphia Police, approximately 300 pro-Palestinian demonstrators—including about 200 on bicycles—and 200 pro-Israeli counter-protesters gathered in the square starting around 11 a.m.

The backstory:

The controversy began when a group known on social media as “Philly Bike on Your Left” posted a flyer calling for a boycott of six Jewish-owned businesses in the area, labeling them “Zionist establishments.” The group also claimed the targeted establishments were aiding Israeli military actions in Gaza.

 In response, a massive community food crawl was organized, resulting in lines that wrapped around city blocks.

Get a load:

It was a heartening response, and not what the organizers of this ugly act were expecting. But it was a temporary victory. The problem of antisemitism on the left remains. They’re still out there.
