"White House Condemns Antisemitic Protest at Philadelphia Jewish Restaurant"
The White House has condemned an "antisemitic" rally outside a falafel shop in Philadelphia, where protesters chanted slogans accusing Israel of genocide. The deputy press secretary called the behavior unjustifiable and a cruel double standard. The protest, led by the Philly Palestine Coalition, targeted Goldie, a kosher restaurant owned by American Israeli chef Michael Solomonov. This comes amid sustained pro-Palestinian rallies in Philadelphia, with previous protests targeting another restaurant owned by the same group. Solomonov has faced criticism from pro-Palestinian activists for his ties to Israeli institutions.
