The missiles are still flying at Israel, so whatever they are doing it seems like it is effective only at killing civilians.
So the antisemities are protesting outside of a restaurant simply because it is owned by a Jew. A Jewish owner who never made any public statement about the war, etc. It's good to see the governor of Pennsylvania calling this out for exactly what it is. White House and Pennsylvania governor condemn ‘antisemitic’ rally in front of Israeli-style restaurant in Philadelphia https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/04/us/palestinian-protest-philadelphia-solomonov/index.html The White House and the governor of Pennsylvania criticized as “antisemitic” a pro-Palestinian protest held Sunday outside an acclaimed Israeli-style falafel shop in Philadelphia. Video of the incident shows a group of demonstrators gathered outside Goldie, a falafel shop owned by the prominent Israeli-American chef Michael Solomonov. In the video, demonstrators marched down the street waving Palestinian flags, repeating the chant, “Goldie, Goldie, you can’t hide. We charge you with genocide.” The incident was part of a broader march in support of Gaza and Palestinians on Sunday that began at Rittenhouse Square. The demonstration continued for at least 20 more blocks after the stop at Goldie, across the Walnut Street Bridge into University City and West Philadelphia. There, marchers joined an ongoing candlelight vigil and protest in front of a controversial housing project. The Philadelphia Free Palestine Coalition had posted on Facebook earlier calling for supporters to “flood the streets” in a demonstration. The Philadelphia Police Department did not respond to CNN’s request for additional information. Solomonov is co-owner of CookNSolo Restaurants group that includes multiple Israeli-style restaurants in Philadelphia and one in Brooklyn, NY. He has won several James Beard Awards for his Philadelphia restaurant Zahav and in 2015 published a cookbook, “Zahav: A World of Israeli Cooking.” CookNSolo publicly donated to an Israeli non-profit helping Israelis after the October 7 Hamas attacks. CNN has reached out to Solomonov for comment. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro criticized the protesters who gathered in front of Goldie in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Tonight in Philly, we saw a blatant act of antisemitism — not a peaceful protest,” Shapiro said. “A restaurant was targeted and mobbed because its owner is Jewish and Israeli. This hate and bigotry is reminiscent of a dark time in history.” He reiterated those thoughts hours later, saying during an unrelated event Monday, “The purposeful gathering of a mob outside of a restaurant simply because it is owned by a Jewish person, well, that’s antisemitism, plain and simple.” The governor said he’s been in touch with Solomonov “to make sure that he and his staff know that we are here for them and lifting them up.” The White House sharply condemned the protesters as well, echoing Shapiro’s assertion that it was an act of antisemitism. “It is Antisemitic and completely unjustifiable to target restaurants that serve Israeli food over disagreements with Israeli policy, as Governor Shapiro has underlined,” White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement to CNN. “This behavior reveals the kind of cruel and senseless double standard that is a calling card of Antisemitism. President Biden has fought against the evil of Antisemitism his entire life, including by launching the first national strategy to counter this hate in American history. He will always stand up firmly against these kinds of undignified actions,” Bates said.
Shame a handful of idiots made pro-Palestinian protesters look bad. Shame CNN & WH chose to focus on that rather than the protest.
Rational men and women are stepping forward and stating the way it is. Enough of the Pallywood propaganda being shoveled by progressives.

Let's take a look who the antisemitic Palestinian supporters are... Faces of Muslim ‘Abandon Biden’ movement accused of wife beating, Hamas links https://nypost.com/2023/12/04/news/...movement-accused-of-wife-beating-hamas-links/ A campaign calling on Muslim-Americans to oppose President Biden’s re-election bid over his support for Israel’s invasion of the Gaza Strip includes men accused of spousal abuse and ties to the Hamas terror group, as well as one advocate of whipping as a form of punishment, The Post has learned. The leaders of the “Abandon Biden” movement piled onto a Hampton Inn stage Saturday in Dearborn, Mich., to slam the 81-year-old commander-in-chief for not forcing Israel to halt its incursion in response to the murders of 1,200 people — including 33 Americans — on Oct. 7. Among the group was Hassan Shibly, whose ex-wife Imane Sadrati alleged “violent” physical abuse in a GoFundMe post, leading to Shibly’s resignation as chairman of the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Florida chapter. His alleged misconduct was the subject of an NPR investigation in 2021. Shibly also faced abuse claims from a second woman, Kyla McRoberts, who told NPR “he stole my self-worth” — at one point cutting off her ponytail while she slept as punishment for her posting a photo of herself not wearing a hijab. Another speaker, Khalid Turaani, was sanctioned by Israel in 2020 for serving as a board member of the group IPALESTINE, which the Israel government alleged “belongs to Hamas.” The sanctions forbade financial transfers to Turaani. Tom Facchine, another speaker, last month publicly defended lashings as punishment under Islamic law, or sharia — saying it was more humane than prison. “If I get 70 lashes for something, I walk home to my children and to my wife and I’m done,” Facchine said “What happens here if I’m a felon? I’m locked away for years. My children are punished for it. My wife is punished for it, my family is punished for it,” he went on. “Which system is barbaric again? … sharia is much more merciful, it is much more flexible, and it is a much more humane system of law than anything the world has ever seen.” Still another anti-Biden activist, Hazim Nasaredden, wrote on Facebook one day after the Oct. 7 attack, using the Hamas code for the assault: “[Operation] Al-Aqsa Storm is the inevitable consequence of continued Israeli oppression of the free men and women of Gaza, the illegal demolition of peoples homes in Jerusalem, and the relentless attacks on the sanctity of Masjid Al-Aqsa. “I stand with my fellow brothers and sisters who continue to fight for the freedom of all Palestinians and more importantly the freeing of Masjid Al-Aqsa for every Muslim around the world,” he added. In 2021, Nasaredden tweeted, “In A Free And Fair Elections [sic] In Palestine, The Resistance Movement (HAMAS) Would Not Only Control Gaza, But The West Bank As Well.” A pro-Biden Democratic operative pointed out the extensive personal baggage of the event’s featured speakers. Polling indicates there is indeed growing pullback from Biden among Arab and Muslim Americans, but the Democratic operative said that the leaders on stage are not credible political voices. “Beltway reporters are so eager to turn a protest in someone’s living room into a big problem for Joe Biden they don’t bother doing just the basic homework — and then you get a situation like this,” he said. Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), an outspoken defender of Israel, added: “The handful of insular events we’ve seen — some of which have unfortunately crossed into the territory of antisemitism — are short-sighted and pale in comparison to the work being done [by Biden] to bring Americans home.” Shibly told The Post that he denies abuse allegations made against him by his ex-wife and by McRoberts, claiming: “NPR did me dirty.” “Seeing the response [to the Abandon Biden movement] by those diehard Biden supporters is utterly disgusting and it’s also hypocritical because Biden himself has allegations against him — you know, there’s plenty out there. But it seems like these allegations are only given weight depending on the person’s political stance,” he added. Shibly said that he considered suing the public radio outlet, though he did not do so within the two-year timeframe typically required by state law.[/S]
Looks like the Maryland AG has a screw loose as well. Anyone making these type of antisemitic statements should be removed from a hate crime task force -- they are part of the problem. Maryland AG reinstates hate crime task force member who claimed Israeli babies murdered by Hamas were 'fake' Anti-Israel activist Zainab Chaudry made numerous antisemitic social posts https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ma...er-claimed-israeli-babies-murdered-hamas-fake
Don't let the door hit your rear on the way out. This is what happens to university administrators who support pro-Hamas nonsense on campus. The University of Pennsylvania’s president resigned after an outcry over her responses in Congress to questions on antisemitism. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/09/us/university-of-pennsylvania-president-resigns.html
unartful really even if legally correct. Whether neo-nazis or KKK members should be allowed to get a college education and exercise their freedom of speech.....well, not long ago righties were up in arms about certain speakers being protested on campus. “Worn down by months of relentless external attacks, she was not herself last Tuesday,” he wrote. “Over-prepared and over-lawyered given the hostile forum and high stakes, she provided a legalistic answer to a moral question, and that was wrong. It made for a dreadful 30-second sound bite in what was more than five hours of testimony.” "I was not focused on, but I should have been, the irrefutable fact that a call for genocide of Jewish people is a call for some of the most terrible violence human beings can perpetrate. It's evil -- plain and simple," Magill said in the video. In a reversal, using direct language, Magill said that type of language is "harassment or intimidation." "I want to be clear, a call for genocide of Jewish people is threatening -- deeply so. It is intentionally meant to terrify a people who have been subjected to pogroms and hatred for centuries and were the victims of mass genocide in the Holocaust," she said. Magill said Penn will take a "serious and careful look" at its "longstanding policies aligned with the U.S. Constitution, which say that speech alone is not punishable."
