Brendan Boyle (D-PA) said in a statement that rescinding Moshava\u2019s invitation \u201crepresents surrendering to the threats of bigots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the explanation of the organizers that Moshava\u2019s invitation was revoked due to the threat of protests and violence is true, then I believe such threats should be investigated by law enforcement, as no person or organization should be coerced or threatened by the prospect of intimidation or violence,\u201d Boyle said in the statement.<\/p>\n<p>As the Post noted, the Anti-Defamation League of Philadelphia <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ADLPhiladelphia\/status\/1406588790446170114\">wrote<\/a> on Twitter that it was \u201cdeeply disturbed\u201d by the organizers\u2019 decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have spoken with the event organizers and expressed that we unequivocally disagree with their decision,\u201d the ADL wrote. \u201cWe do understand that threats to the organizers were made, and we understand the fear and confusion that comes when your community faces that intimidation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, the decision to bow to this antisemitic intimidation by disinviting Moshava was wrong,\u201d it added. \u201cIn the next few days, we will be meeting with the organizers to discuss what happened, provide education on antisemitism and share communal security resources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In response, Eat Up the Borders made its social media pages private, and the co-organizer, Sunflower Philly, announced the entire \u201cTaste of Home\u201d event would be canceled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt Sunflower Philly we truly believe in creating a positive and inclusive community space here in Philadelphia,\u201d the organization\u00a0said in its own Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CQWPaGPj5xJ\/\">post<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDue to the ongoing situation with one of our event partners @eatuptheborder and @moshava_philly we have to decided to cancel the \u2018Taste of Home\u2019 event today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSunflower Philly is a non-profit organization created to bring our community together through art, music &#038; sustainability.
