A mob of Po-Palestinian protesters chanted antisemitic slogans outside a Jewish restaurant in Philadelphia and vandalized it.

The angry crowd targeted Goldie, a falafel restaurant owned by American-Israeli chef Michael Solomonov, on Sunday night.

They chanted “Goldie, Goldie, you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide” and vandalized its front door and windows.

Solomonov, who was born in Israel and grew up in Pittsburgh, initially focused on Italian cuisine. But that changed when his brother, David, a volunteer in the IDF, was killed by snipers on the Lebanese border in 2003. Solomonov now runs a number of Israeli and Jewish-style restaurants.
