Antisemitism Exposed Newsletter: Hate Strikes at Jewish-Owned Businesses in Philly
Philadelphia businesses targeted
Rabbi Chaim Mentz and Dr. Sheila Nazarian discussed anti-Israel protesters targeting Jewish-owned businesses in Philadelphia during an appearance on “Fox News @ Night.” The newsletter also included an image caption describing a pro-Palestinian protester walking with bikers during a boycott ride in the city.
A separate video featured Jewish Student Union leaders, educators and student activists. They presented high school students with tools to address antisemitism, defend their identities and remain proudly Jewish on campus.
Jackson urges people to speak
Reggie Jackson, the baseball Hall of Famer, spoke out against rising antisemitism in his native Pennsylvania. He compared the hatred to the Jim Crow racism he experienced in the South during the 1960s, including segregated restaurants and bomb threats during his minor league career. Jackson criticized Philadelphia politicians for staying silent and called for immediate action. He said, “We have to speak up!”
Michigan community divided
Abdul El-Sayed’s historic Senate win has left Michigan’s Jewish community deeply divided, the newsletter reported. Detroit’s Jewish Federation CEO offered to work across political lines, while Democratic strategists urged Jewish voters to leave a party they said tolerates hate.
