Ok, you are right, Israel as a country (with all the decisions that its government take) is different that being a Jew (as a religion / belief), we get that, but eventually Israelis are Jews right!! The primary goal is the “Holy land”, it’s not the issue of doubting personal believes of Jews abroad or the question of their loyalty towards their countries (where they live in) or their religion, we know that many Jews protest against war and injustice. I don’t believe in violence at all but… this is how it has to happen… “unfortunately”

As for Starbucks, well we know that there are Jewish owned retail shops and businesses in the country / gulf and this is not the issue; When Howard releases such a statement (forget that it is fraudulent or not for now), it would sure stir up anger, especially when it states that the money is going to the army! It has nothing to do with the coffee bas the purpose Kiwi.. this is what we are protesting against, what we are fighting…

If it was a fraudulent PR, why didn’t he reply denying it?! Ok, we are silly n’ mindless.. let’s see him give an explanation then, it’d be a different issue..

I never thought that was the opposition. Poeople have to start noting the difference between Jews and the Israeli government and military. They're two different things.

Maybe it's owned by a Jew, but I SERIOUSLY doubt their revenues go to th Israeli military. Ridiculous mindless people I doubt it’s true…some lame people with no lives prolly started that.

The reason I asked about the supplies, revenue, franchising issue is the same very reason why I was against the Danish products boycott and thought it was senseless, ekh6elat el7abel belnabel! How bad is it truly gonna effect them – “Financially” when we stop purchasing coffee?! And yes, it is not the only Jewish American chain in the country, what do we do?! What do the people who own these establishments do? The people who work there?

Sknk: Guess when this matter blows out of proportion, the franchiser would defiantly make things clear bas in my opinion, not fair for him to take all the crap. Atrocities! Why? I happen to loooooooooove their Mocha! Bas no problemo, mafi aktar men elma6a3em o cafes in Kuwait :)

Mini: Got the same reaction..

Fuzzy: Yeah, I personally do not think totally boycotting will help but a petition formulated and signed by a mass number of people, via blogs or online, would do the job and yes, it is not only Starbucks, other names will be dragged along

Starbucks of Kuwait buys mostly local supplies, except for the Coffee beans, Tea, and accessories, boycotting isnt the answer, maybe sending emails to the franchise owners would be more effective i never liked starbucks !
