Boycott Bike Ride: Pro-Palestinian protest targets Jewish-owned restaurants near Rittenhouse Square

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Advocacy groups are resisting a boycott against Jewish-owned businesses in Philadelphia.

Several groups organized what they are calling a Boycott Bike Ride, which is underway in the city.

The boycott targets six restaurants near Rittenhouse Square.

A flyer posted to social media by organizers shows the names of the six Jewish-owned restaurants circled in red and crossed out.

Several groups organizing the ride, led by Philly Bike On Your Left, wrote that they're showing solidarity with Palestinians, called the business owners Zionists, and accused them of supporting Israel.

According to police, three arrests have been made during the protest so far.

Earlier this week, Mayor Cherelle Parker said the police department would be prepared to maintain safety throughout Sunday's protest.

Parker, Governor Josh Shapiro, along with other state and local leaders have condemned the protest.
