费城针对犹太餐馆抵制骑行11月8日举行 数百人反制 警方逮捕3人

宾夕法尼亚州费城市一群骑行者11月8日中午在里滕豪斯广场发起针对犹太人开设餐馆的「抵制骑行」,遭到数百名反制抗议者到场对峙,警方逮捕3人,未报告财产损失。
组织者「费城左翼骑行」(Philly Bike On Your Left)自称是反法西斯、反犹太复国主义的骑行团体,称这次骑行针对的是其所称支持以色列的6家商户,包括 Mac Mart、K'Far Café、Huda、Goldie、Schlesinger's 与 Dizengoff。费城警察局估计,现场约有300名支持巴勒斯坦的抗议者与约200名支持以色列的反制者,警方在两群人之间列队分隔,双方发生言语冲突。
费城警察局说,被捕3人中,一名成年女性涉嫌袭击,一名成年男子涉嫌行为不检,一名17岁少年涉嫌袭击警察;所有示威者已于下午1时过后散去。
宾夕法尼亚州州长乔什·夏皮罗与费城市长谢丽尔·帕克此前已谴责这次骑行,夏皮罗办公室称其意在恐吓、把犹太商户赶出社区,帕克则表示因店主是犹太人而单挑商户,在本市没有立足之地。这次骑行恰逢「水晶之夜」88周年前夕,1938年纳粹在德国与奥地利焚烧犹太会堂、打砸犹太商户与民宅。
Philadelphia Boycott Ride Targeting Jewish Restaurants Draws Hundreds of Counterprotesters; Three Arrested
A group of cyclists launched a "boycott ride" targeting Jewish-owned restaurants in Philadelphia at noon on November 8 in Rittenhouse Square, drawing hundreds of counterprotesters. Police arrested three people and reported no property damage.
The organizer, Philly Bike On Your Left, which describes itself as an anti-fascist, anti-Zionist cycling collective, said the ride targeted six businesses it described as supporters of Israel: Mac Mart, K'Far Café, Huda, Goldie, Schlesinger's and Dizengoff. Philadelphia police estimated about 300 pro-Palestinian protesters and about 200 pro-Israel counterprotesters at the scene. Officers formed lines between the two groups as they exchanged heated words.
Police said the three people arrested were an adult woman accused of assault, an adult man accused of disorderly conduct and a 17-year-old boy accused of assaulting police. All demonstrators had dispersed by just after 1 p.m.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker had condemned the ride in advance. Shapiro's office said it was intended to intimidate Jewish businesses out of the community, and Parker said singling out businesses because their owners are Jewish has no place in the city. The ride fell on the eve of the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the 1938 Nazi pogrom against synagogues, Jewish businesses and homes in Germany and Austria.
