Israeli vendor booted from Philadelphia food truck event | |||

[NYPost] An Israeli vendor was yanked from a Philadelphia food trunk event, prompting claims that organizers bowed to anti-Semitism — and leading to a decision to scrap the event on Sunday. Food truck Moshava said its invitation to the "Taste of Home" event scheduled for Father’s Day was pulled because organizers feared protests over their Israeli ties. "We are deeply saddened by this," Moshava said on its Instagram on Saturday. "The organizers of the event heard rumors of a protest happening because of us being there and decided to uninvite us from fear that the protesters would get aggressive and threaten their event."
Moshava said in its post it hoped in the future the organizers hold true to their words of a safe environment "for all religions and nationalities — not just all of them except Israeli and Jewish ones."
"Due to the ongoing situation with one of our event partners @eatuptheborder and @moshava_philly we have to decided to cancel the ’Taste of Home’ event today," it went on. | |||
