What a powerful day! We were proud to join hundreds of Philadelphians standing with Jewish and Israeli-owned businesses in the face of intimidation.
We appreciate @PhillyPolice's commitment to securing our community.View quoted post on X

Yehuda Sichel's grandfather was just 10 years old in Germany during Kristallnacht. Now, on the eve of its 88th anniversary, his grandson's Philadelphia restaurant is being targeted by a boycott of Jewish and Israeli-owned businesses.
In @PhillyInquirer, @ADLPhiladelphia's @AndrewGoretsky explains why this is clearly antisemitic discrimination, not political protest. inquirer.com/opinion/commen…

www.inquirer.com ‘Boycott Ride’ targets Jewish and Israeli-owned businesses. We have seen this tactic before. |... It is hatred of Jews with a new label. Replacing the word “Jewish” with “Zionist” does not change who is being targeted, writes Andrew Goretsky. @mroctober showing up in November! Thank you, Reggie Jackson, for standing with Philly's Jewish community, speaking out against the boycott of Jewish and Israeli-owned businesses and making it clear that antisemitism and all forms of hate are unacceptable.
It is heartbreaking to see antisemitism in my hometown. I was born in Wyncote, near Philadelphia, and it makes me angry and ashamed to see hatred tolerated there.View quoted post on X
The numbers show this is not an abstract concern. The Anti-Defamation League recorded 465 antisemitic incidents across Pennsylvania in 2024, an 18% increase over 2023. It tracked 189 incidents in Philadelphia and 51 in Montgomery County. These reports include harassment, vandalism, and assault; they are not all classified as crimes. (adl.org, philadelphia.adl.org)
Hateful expression harms more than its immediate target. In a 2025 survey of Jewish Americans, 79% said they were concerned about antisemitism, and 52% said they had worried about their personal safety because of their identity. Nearly half reported taking steps to increase their security. A research review also found that exposure to hate is associated with worse psychological well-being, more negative stereotypes, and less trust between groups. (philadelphia.adl.org, pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
It takes me back to the racism I experienced in the 1960s: signs throughout the South declaring that Black people could be refused service, along with separate “white” and “colored” signs on bathrooms and drinking fountains,”no niggers”. I remember what that hatred looked and felt like. We cannot accept it in any form, directed at any people.
I wish I could be there to stand with those protesting HATE. I am asking elected officials and other leaders in Philadelphia: Where are the clear statements condemning antisemitism? When hateful language is excused or repeated, it can make hostility seem acceptable and deepen fear and division. Leaders should speak plainly and consistently: antisemitism and hate have no place in our communities.
What the hell? We have to speak up.

That was one of nine voicemails left for Hawaii Governor @GovJoshGreenMD. The man who left them has pleaded guilty to cyberstalking.
Grotesque Holocaust references and violent antisemitic threats should never be something Jewish elected officials have to contend with. We commend law enforcement for prosecuting this case.
