Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro thanked Philadelphia police, Pennsylvania State Police and law enforcement partners Sunday for protecting public safety as he condemned what he described as antisemitic targeting of Jewish-owned restaurants in the city.
In a statement posted on his own X account at 2:22 p.m. Eastern on November 8, Shapiro thanked the agencies “for protecting public safety today in Philadelphia.”
The governor described the circumstances as “blatant antisemitic targeting of Jewish-owned restaurants on the anniversary of Kristallnacht.” That was Shapiro’s characterization in the statement.
Shapiro said Philadelphia “showed up to support our neighborhood businesses and prove once again that hate has no place in our Commonwealth.” His message praised support for the businesses alongside the public-safety work of law enforcement.
The statement gives no numbers for attendance, arrests or police deployments. It does not describe police tactics or provide a detailed account of individual encounters. Shapiro’s post is a statement of support for the restaurants and thanks to law enforcement, rather than a numerical incident report.
