The fascists are feeling their oats with their big election victory on Tuesday. They plan to target Jewish restaurants in the City of Brotherly Love on the anniversary of Kristallnacht:

A Statement from the Alabama Holocaust Education Center

On November 9–10, 1938, Nazi mobs unleashed a wave of violence against Jewish communities across Germany and Austria in what became known as Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass. Jewish businesses were vandalized and destroyed, synagogues were burned, and thousands of Jewish people were arrested. It was a terrifying escalation of the persecution that ultimately led to the Holocaust.
Now, on the eve of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, a group in Philadelphia is organizing a bike ride targeting Jewish-owned businesses and calling for their removal from the community. The timing and message are deeply disturbing.
We have seen no credible evidence that these businesses have promoted hatred toward Palestinians. Advocating for Palestinian rights does not require targeting Jewish business owners.
We cannot allow history to repeat itself. We must recognize the warning signs and have the courage to respond. At the Alabama Holocaust Education Center, we believe education must lead to action, and today, we are putting that belief into practice. We encourage you to stand with us by supporting Schlesinger's, Huda/Huda Burger, Mac Mart, Goldie, K'Far Café, and Dizengoff.
Our CEO personally spoke with the owners of several of these restaurants. We purchased a gift card that they will donate to a charity. What began as an effort to target and intimidate these businesses will instead become an opportunity to support them while helping others in need.
We are also grateful to the Pennsylvania officials who have publicly condemned this campaign and stood against antisemitism.
And you can help simply by SHARING this message. Let's fill social media with support for these businesses, celebrate their contributions to their community, and refuse to give those spreading hatred the attention they seek.
Let our response be louder than their hatred.

Here are links to the restaurants being targeted if you would like to donate a gift card or just a message of support and love. I've sent gift cards to each, asked them to donate as they see fit and let them know our house stands with them and against antisemitism, and against hate of any kind:

Ho lee chit!
I’m rereading The Order of the Death’s Head by Heinz Höhne which is a history of the German SS. I just finished the part about Kristallnacht (or “Novemberpogrome 1938” which the SS proper actually condemned at the time), so that’s an interesting coincidence.

But this is just one more reason for my opinion about the state of the Nation.

Planning events to celebrate Kristallnacht is just plain appalling, disturbing, and unacceptable.

Hopefully it backfires, and many orders of magnitude of good people flood these businesses.

They officially condemned something they planned and carried out. Talking out of both sides of their mouths.

Even our modern fascist movement here in the US, the DNC, didn't artificially condemn antifa, blm, anti-Ice, etc. They were bold enough to applaud and encourage the behavior.

Participants in Kristallnacht

Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass (9–10 November 1938), was a state‑sponsored pogrom against Jews in Nazi Germany and its annexed territories. The violence was orchestrated by Nazi leadership and carried out by a combination of paramilitary groups, party members, and ordinary Germans.

Key participants included:
-- Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party leadership – Hitler, as Führer, and top officials such as Joseph Goebbels (Propaganda Minister) and Reinhard Heydrich coordinated and instigated the riots.
-- Sturmabteilung (SA) – The Nazi stormtroopers, a paramilitary wing of the Party, were among the main perpetrators
-- Schutzstaffel (SS) – The SS, led by figures like Heinrich Himmler, also took part in the attacks
-- Hitler Youth (Hitlerjugend) – Young Nazi members joined the violence in many locations
-- German civilians – Many ordinary Germans, not affiliated with Nazi organizations, participated in the riots, often looting Jewish homes and businesses or humiliating Jewish neighbors
-- Nazi Party officials and local authorities – Local Nazi leaders and police allowed the violence to proceed without intervention

Context:
The pogrom was presented as a spontaneous outburst of public anger over the assassination of German diplomat Ernst vom Rath by Herschel Grynszpan, a 17‑year‑old Polish‑born Jewish man in Paris. In reality, it was a planned, state‑directed act of violence against Jews, involving the destruction of over 1,400 synagogues, damage to more than 7,000 Jewish businesses, and the arrest of about 30,000 Jewish men.

In short, Kristallnacht was carried out by a coalition of Nazi leadership, paramilitary forces, youth organizations, and civilian participants, all acting under the direction of the Nazi regime.

Far too many people will either condone or stay silent on violence. People conflate violence against Jews with support for our "greatest ally", Israel.

Sounds like yet another application where 'rooftop Koreans' are called for.

Does Philly have ShotSpotter?

This sort of thing requires a certain amount of public tacit approval or at the very least apathy in order to profligate into something larger which is what I believe these pansies are hoping for. I must say these bike weenies should never consider any similar BS anywhere in Texas.

Nicely done. Thank you for that.

If you study the Left for the last 110+ years and right up through today, this should not be a surprise at all.

Lee Harvey Oswald, Thomas Crooks, Tyler Robinson, Ryan Routh, Vance Boelter, Aiden/Audrey Hale, BLM, antifa, occupy, anti-ICE, CAIR, muslim brotherhood, hamas, hezbollah, islam, etc. They all follow the examples of their leaders: muhammed, the ayatollahs, bin Laden, Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Hitlery, Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, Harris, etc.

Their movement is born of the politics of hate and envy, and fueled by violence. Those that don't commit the violence themselves foment it by stoking violence in their minions.

Thanks for that. I'm local, off on Sunday, and will be getting a WHOLE bunch of takeout.

When the Ballot Box fails us, the Cartridge Box may become the only solution.

Planning to use a Nazi persecution tactic while having accused others of being Nazis, but they're not Nazis. roll eyes

Who is this group that is planning this bike ride?

More accurately, you get what the majority voted for.

Their very existence is appalling, disturbing and unacceptable.

What these fuckers need is a large group of baseball bat wielding men swinging for the fences.
Make Sgt. Donny Donowitz from the Inglorious Basterds jealous.

I assume (I know) that bikes refers to bicycles for the ride. An investment in thumbtacks, brads or a couple handsfull of goathead thorns along the route might be in order. Particularly near the area where the "ride" will be starting.
Dang! Two flat tires habibi! Too bad you won't be able to participate in todays' ride.

I'm not Korean but am all too willing to spend the day on their rooftop!
