Boycott Starbucks!
Published Mar 12, 2009 8:29 PM
Protesters from the Gaza Committee in Dearborn, Mich., picketed Starbucks
on March 7 over its connections to Israel. The coffee shop chain is also
viciously anti-union. The protesters denounced U.S. support for the Zionist
settler state, which has been waging a genocidal war against the Palestinian
people. An international boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign is
targeting Starbucks, whose CEO, Howard Schultz, received the Israeli 50th
Anniversary Tribute Award in 1998 from a Zionist group that promotes
settlements on Palestinian land. The campaign is also targeting all
institutions and corporations that do business with Israel. The southeastern
Michigan-based Gaza Committee is building future actions with this campaign and
others that support the Palestinian people.
