A planned anti-Zionist protest in Philadelphia, scheduled for the eve of the Kristallnacht anniversary, has sparked a viral call for a ‘buycott’—a deliberate campaign to support businesses targeted by activists.
According to an op-ed in American Thinker, the Brandeis Law Society identified a coalition of groups, including the bicycle collective Ride On The Left, organizing a November 8 demonstration around Rittenhouse Square. The demonstration reportedly singles out establishments like Mac Mart, K’Far Cafe, and other Jewish-owned restaurants under the CookNSolo umbrella.
The Counter-Movement
Anonymous contributor ‘Civis Americanus’ framed the protest—timed to coincide with the 88th anniversary of Nazi Germany’s violent pogrom against Jewish businesses—as a veiled antisemitic provocation. The piece advocates flooding these restaurants with customers on Sunday, creating visible lines as ‘the legal, nonviolent, and moral equivalent’ of rejecting the boycott.
For those unable to visit in person, the writer suggests purchasing items from CookNSolo’s online store and sharing receipts on social media as acts of defiance. ‘Make their boycott backfire,’ the article urges.
Historical Echoes and Modern Tactics
The commentary parallels the current climate to pre-WWII Germany while condemning left-wing activism that ‘globalizes the intifada.’ It stops short of endorsing physical retaliation, instead promoting economic resistance as a contemporary alternative to ‘a riding whip across Ride On The Left’s collective face.’
Civis Americanus, writing under a pseudonym due to fears of cancellation, positions the buycott as both a rebuttal to antisemitism and a broader stand against ‘the Big Lie behind Black Lives Matter.’
