食客支持费城犹太人经营的餐厅，以回应抵制呼吁一场呼吁抵制组织者声称支持以色列的餐厅的抗议活动，被前来购买食物支持这些被针对商家的反抗议者所压倒。
Diners Support Jewish-Owned Eateries in Philadelphia After Boycott Call A protest calling for a boycott of restaurants that organizers said supported Israel was overwhelmed by counterprotesters, who came to buy food from the targeted businesses.
玛蒂·利伯曼于2013年创立了Mac Mart，向大学生从卡车上售卖舒缓心情的美食。如今，她在费城里滕豪斯广场附近的一个摊位上售卖她的招牌通心粉芝士菜肴。
Marti Lieberman founded Mac Mart in 2013, selling comfort food from a truck to college students. Today, she peddles her specialty macaroni and cheese dishes from a kiosk near Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square.
周日，在午餐时间分发热腾腾的分量之间，她发现自己经营的小摊位处于一场发生在约6000英里（约9656公里）之外的冲突的本地十字路口。
On Sunday, between dishing out steaming portions at lunchtime, she found her small stand at the local crossroads of a conflict taking place some 6,000 miles away.
一个鲜为人知的活动团体“Philly Bike on Your Left”举办了一场“抵制骑行”，针对里滕豪斯区的六家餐厅。“这些犹太复国主义场所必须消失！”该团体的Instagram帖子宣称，其中点名了Mac Mart。
A little-known activist group called Philly Bike on Your Left held a “boycott ride” targeting six restaurants in the Rittenhouse area. “These Zionist establishments must go!” declared the group’s Instagram post, which included Mac Mart by name.
然而，这场吸引了大量警力部署的抗议活动，也激发了一场大规模的反示威，数百人前来支持这些被针对的商家。
Yet the protest, which drew a heavy police presence, also inspired a large counterdemonstration, with hundreds of people coming out to support the targeted businesses.
这场针对餐厅的集会由一系列团体共同发起，包括“宾大教职工为巴勒斯坦正义”组织和“反对加沙战争作家”组织。费城民主社会主义者分会的成员也参加了活动，该分会后来发表声明与该活动划清界限。包括“Philly Bike on Your Left”在内的所有团体均未回应置评请求。
The rally against the restaurants was cosponsored by an array of groups, including Penn Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine and Writers Against the War in Gaza. It also drew attendees from the Philadelphia chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, which later disavowed the event in a statement. None of the groups, including Philly Bike on Your Left, responded to requests for comment.
在抗议活动前几天，该活动招致了当选官员的谴责，包括州长乔什·夏皮罗、市长谢雷尔·帕克和州检察长戴夫·桑迪。
In the days leading up to the protest, it drew condemnation from elected officials, including Gov. Josh Shapiro, Mayor Cherelle Parker, and the state attorney general, Dave Sunday.
“每个人都有和平抗议和表达政治观点的权利，”帕克女士在一份声明中说。“但因为店主是犹太人就单独针对某些企业是不可接受的，在我们的城市没有立足之地。”一些被针对的餐厅多年来与以色列团体有过合作。有些只是为10月7日哈马斯袭击的受害者筹集了资金。还有像麦克马特这样的餐厅，似乎并未向任何以色列机构提供实质性支持。
“Everyone has the right to peacefully protest and express their political views,” Ms. Parker said in a statement. “But singling out businesses because their owners are Jewish is unacceptable and has no place in our city.”Some of the restaurants targeted had partnered with Israeli groups over the years. Some had simply raised funds for victims of the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. Others, like Mac Mart, had provided no apparent material support to any Israeli institutions.
“我能想到的唯一原因，就是我在所有社交媒体视频中都佩戴大卫之星，”利伯曼女士说。“除此之外，在14年里，我从来都从未、从未、从未把宗教、政治或任何东西与麦克马特混在一起。我们为所有人服务。”在费城的犹太社区中，许多人担心这些场所被针对，并非因为它们的政治立场或行为，而是因为它们的身份。
“The only reason I could think of is because I wear my Star of David in all of my videos” on social media, Ms. Lieberman said. “Other than that, I’ve never, ever, ever in 14 years mixed religion, politics, or anything with Mac Mart. We serve everyone.”In Philadelphia’s Jewish community, many were concerned that the establishments were being targeted not because of their politics or actions, but because of their identity.
“显然，人们有权表达对以色列政府政策的看法，但这绝不是抵制犹太人拥有企业的理由，”阿琳·菲克勒说。她是一名律师，也是一座距离里滕豪斯广场一个街区的犹太会堂的前会长，当时她正在排队等待进入施莱辛格熟食店，这也是被针对的企业之一。与数百名其他人一起，她周日前来光顾这些正遭抗议的场所。
“Clearly, people are entitled to express their opinions about policies of the Israeli government, but that’s not a reason to boycott Jewish-owned businesses,” said Arlene Fickler, a lawyer and past president of a synagogue a block from Rittenhouse Square, while waiting online at Schlesinger’s Deli, another one of the targeted businesses. Along with hundreds of others, she had come on Sunday to patronize the establishments being protested.
在其Instagram页面上，费城自行车左翼组织以笼统的语辞为其做法辩护。“我们社区中有些企业主曾为以色列军队筹款、接待以色列士兵、得到本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的赞扬，或表达对以色列的支持，”该组织写道。“我们如何花钱，反映我们的价值观。”一些拉比敦促其会众避开骑行区域，而不是给抗议活动带来更多关注。
On its Instagram page, Philly Bike on Your Left defended its approach in general terms. “There are business owners in our community who have raised funds for the Israeli military, hosted Israeli soldiers, were praised by Benjamin Netanyahu, or expressed support for Israel,” it wrote. “How we spend our money is a reflection of our values.”Some rabbis urged their congregants to avoid the area of the ride, rather than draw more attention to the protest.
其他犹太领袖帮助组织了一场计划于周一晚上举行的多宗教集会，以纪念水晶之夜的周年纪念日，即1938年纳粹对犹太人拥有企业的袭击。
Other Jewish leaders helped organize a multi-faith gathering planned for Monday night to commemorate the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the 1938 Nazi attack on Jewish-owned businesses.
和平祈祷联盟是一个当地巴勒斯坦‑犹太人集体，虽然它并不支持这次自行车集会，但在一份声明中表示，抵制虽然可以成为推动社会变革的有价值工具，但“要想有效，抵制必须针对在不公正中承担最大责任的公司”。反犹太复国主义拉比、位于费城西部的 Kol Tzedek 重建犹太教堂领袖阿里·列夫·福纳里（Rabbi Ari Lev Fornari）表示，他认为这次骑行适得其反。他解释说，从他的角度来看，“犹太教并非犹太复国主义”，而这次抗议模糊了两者的界限。
The Prayers for Peace Alliance, a local Palestinian-Jewish collective that didn’t support the bike rally, said in a statement that while boycotts can be valuable tools for social change, “to be effective, boycotts must be targeted toward companies with the greatest complicity in injustice.”Rabbi Ari Lev Fornari, an anti-Zionist rabbi and leader of the Kol Tzedek Reconstructionist synagogue in West Philadelphia, said he thought the ride was counterproductive. From his perspective, he explained, “Judaism is not Zionism,” and this protest had blurred the lines between them.
这位拉比说：“我觉得这很悲剧，因为这正值我们目睹民主联盟崛起、在支持阿卜杜勒·埃尔‑赛义德、詹姆斯·塔拉里科和乔恩·奥索夫等新领袖方面形成连贯力量的时期——这些穆斯林、基督徒和犹太领袖愿意批评以色列政府的行为。”
“I think it’s tragic because this is in a week when we’ve witnessed the rise of democratic coalitions building coherent power in support of new leaders like Abdul El-Sayed, James Talarico, and Jon Ossoff — Muslim, Christian, and Jewish leaders willing to criticize the actions of the Israeli government,” the rabbi said.
抗议与反抗议吸引了比平时更多的人来到寒冷的周日早晨的里滕豪斯广场。数十名抗议骑手出发前的紧张30分钟里，警方努力让两组人保持分离，并制止偶发的冲突。
The protest and counterprotest drew many more people to Rittenhouse Square than was normal for a chilly Sunday morning. For a tense 30 minutes before the dozens of protest riders kicked off, police worked to keep the two groups separate and break up the occasional scuffles.
一名戴面具、手持扩音器的抗议者喊道：“美国人民已经厌倦了。”他敦促旁观者“阅读埃普斯坦文件”，并叫一名反抗议者回以色列。“我住在这里，”她回应道。
“The American people are tired,” shouted a masked protester with a megaphone. He urged onlookers to “read the Epstein files” and told one counterprotester to go back to Israel. “I live here,” she responded.
一些与犹太防卫联盟有关的亲以色列示威者对骑手们大喊污言秽语。另一名示威者试图撕下其中一辆自行车上的巴勒斯坦旗帜，车主随后把旗帜取回。
Some pro-Israel demonstrators associated with the Jewish Defense League shouted obscenities at the riders. Another tried to rip a Palestinian flag off one of the bikes, whose owner then retrieved it.
骑行开始后，两群人各自安静（虽不寂静）地分道而行——和平进行。游行者和骑手们环绕广场高呼：“唯一的解决办法是：起义革命！”部分亲巴勒斯坦人士明确表示，他们参加是为了支持巴勒斯坦人并引起对其困境的关注，而不是针对某些业主。
Once the ride was underway, the two crowds went their separate ways in peace — if not quiet. Marchers and bikers circled the square chanting, “There is only one solution: intifada revolution!”Some on the pro-Palestinian side made clear that they attended to support Palestinians and draw attention to their plight, not to target certain proprietors.
“我们都承认哈马斯在10月7日犯下了暴行。这绝对毫无疑问，”罗伯特·布彻说，他是“弗特曼周五抗议行动”（Fridays @ Fettermans）的一名本地活动人士，该组织已在参议员约翰·弗特曼的办公室外抗议了两年多，抗议这位宾夕法尼亚州民主党人对以色列的支持。布彻先生表示，他并不反对以色列本身，而是反对“内塔尼亚胡政府”及其“不成比例、持续不断的回应”。
“We all acknowledge that Hamas committed an atrocity on Oct. 7. There’s absolutely no question about that,” said Robert Boucher, a local activist with Fridays @ Fettermans, a group that has protested outside the office of Senator John Fetterman for more than two years over the Pennsylvania Democrat’s support of Israel. Mr. Boucher said that he didn’t object to Israel itself, but to the “Netanyahu government” and “their disproportionate, unremitting response.”
在布彻先生身旁，卡伦·维斯涅夫斯基举着一块简单的“让加沙活下去”标语牌。当被问及为何像Mac Mart这样的商家会被卷入这场抗议时，她说：“我不知道答案，”并称这“令人遗憾”。至少在周日，这些餐厅似乎并未因抗议而遭受经济损失。反抗议者远多于抗议者，目标餐馆门前排起了绕街区的长龙。一度，施莱辛格餐厅（Schlesinger’s）的一名员工不得不向人群宣布，鉴于需求异常旺盛，已无法再接受外带订单。
Alongside Mr. Boucher, Karen Wisniewski held a simple “Let Gaza Live” sign. Asked why establishments like Mac Mart had been roped into this protest, she said, “I don’t know the answer to that,” calling it “unfortunate.”The restaurants didn’t appear to be hurt financially by the protest, at least on Sunday. Counterprotesters greatly outnumbered protesters, and lines at the targeted eateries snaked around the block. At one point, an employee of Schlesinger’s had to announce to the crowd that it could no longer accommodate takeout orders, given the extraordinary demand.
“我接到过澳大利亚的电话，也接到过英国的电话，”Mac Mart店主利伯曼女士说。“有人告诉我他们正从安纳波利斯、从俄亥俄州开车赶来。”下午1点，仍有数十人在等待他们的通心粉芝士。
“I’ve had calls from Australia, I’ve had calls from the U.K.,” said Ms. Lieberman, the Mac Mart proprietor. “I’ve had people telling me they’re driving from Annapolis, from Ohio.”At 1 p.m., dozens of people were still waiting for their macaroni and cheese.
