Hundreds Pack 6 Philadelphia Jewish Restaurants, Blunting Protest on Kristallnacht Eve

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Nov 12

Summary

  • Hundreds of diners filled six Jewish-owned Philadelphia restaurants after anti-Israel protesters tried to scare customers away on the eve of Kristallnacht’s 88th anniversary.
  • Lines stretched around city blocks, and at least one restaurant feared it would run out of food as the boycott-style action appeared to drive more patrons in instead.
  • The episode was highlighted in Fox News’ antisemitism newsletter, which framed it as a public backlash against rising anti-Jewish hostility in Philadelphia and beyond.
  • The broader report also pointed to other flashpoints, including Reggie Jackson’s condemnation of antisemitism in Pennsylvania and divisions in Michigan’s Jewish community after Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate win.
