Jewish, kosher, and Israeli restaurants around the world have increasingly become targets of protests, vandalism, and violence by anti-Israel activists. These attacks, which have surged since the October 7 Massacre, are part of a broader campaign that seeks to wage economic and cultural war on Israel and its supporters. Unlike synagogues and community centers, these restaurants often lack security and are left vulnerable to harassment and boycotts, with business owners and staff facing intimidation and racist abuse.

Activists justify their actions by accusing these establishments of complicity in alleged crimes, cultural appropriation, or simply for their association with Israel or Jewish identity. The campaign has led to closures, financial losses, and a climate of fear, with some businesses unable to withstand the pressure. Despite the scale and persistence of these attacks, they are often dismissed as isolated incidents rather than recognized as part of a coordinated movement, leaving Jewish and Israeli restaurants on the front lines of a largely unacknowledged conflict.
