A protest against a top Israel-born chef was called antisemitic. Staff tell a different story

Michael Solomonov's Israel-inspired restaurant empire has come under scrutiny by pro-Palestinian protesters, who accuse him of complicity in attacks on Gaza

The 21-second clip went viral almost as soon as it was posted early on Sunday evening. It showed hundreds of protesters, some with Palestinian flags, united in a rhyming chant: Goldie, Goldie, you can't hide, we charge you with genocide!"

They were protesting outside Goldie, a vegan falafel restaurant owned by Michael Solomonov, the Israel-born celebrity chef best known for Zahav, an Israeli-themed restaurant widely considered one of the United States' finest eateries. It was one brief stop along a march traversing Philadelphia that lasted about three hours.
