Philadelphia, PA – On November 8, dozens of Palestine solidarity activists gathered at Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia around noon for a bike ride protest in support of a boycott against several businesses that have aided Israel in their genocide against the Palestinian people. Despite hundreds of Zionist counterprotesters with Israeli flags attempting to block and harass the cyclists, the ride was able to occupy the busy streets of Center City and ride past some of the boycott targets.
