"On Sunday night, pro-Palestine protesters in Philly did a citywide demonstration calling for an end of American military aid to Israel during the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. One of the protest stops was at Goldie, a popular Israeli-style falafel shop co-owned by James Beard Award winner Michael Solomonov, which is part of the larger restaurant group CookNSolo.

There were reports and a posted viral video showing dozens of protesters chanting, “Goldie, Goldie you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide” outside of the restaurant.

The incident has led to several local and national politicians calling the demonstration in front of the restaurant an act of antisemitism, given that they perceive Solomonov has no formal connection to the Israeli government or military or its actions, and rather just cooks and champions Israeli cuisine, and is Jewish."
