White House denounces antisemitic protest at Jewish eatery in Philadelphia
The White House, along with Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, condemned the actions of pro-Palestinian demonstrators who targeted a Jewish-owned restaurant in Philadelphia with chants of genocide. The protesters gathered outside the restaurant, chanting and placing pro-Palestinian stickers on its doors. The White House called it antisemitic and unjustifiable, emphasizing President Biden's commitment to countering antisemitism. Governor Shapiro labeled it a blatant act of antisemitism, while Senator John Fetterman criticized the protesters for targeting a Jewish restaurant instead of addressing larger issues.
