It’s a good thing they’re addressing these kind of rumors which have been circulating for ages. I think its starbucks time now, they too should respond to these rumors and address them.
You know, now that I’m talking about it, I don’t really know if Starbucks’ rumor is actually a rumor to begin with..
Thanks loco
Ya3ni now negdar nakel we7na me6amneeen ? 🙂
Are you serious?
It’s so stupid that they even have to ADDRESS such a rumor.
Hey Yousef,
Starbucks did address this issue a while back.

search for their proxy statement it should disclose such a donation policy
Starbux, Mcdonalds and other American brands have been targeted by Palestinians because the ones reaping the benefits are jews not because these corporations have been supporting them directing, of course mcdonalds or any other company is not going to support Israel directly, its called corporate espionage .. btw (1001Nights) not only arabs believe in conspiracy theories and why shouldn’t they? do you know what it means? basically ill tell you what it means you would respect the word instead of just dismissing it like most people dismiss evolution .. A conspiracy usually involves a group entering into a secret agreement to achieve some illicit or harmful objective and when does it become a theory ? it becomes a theory when these groups dont give you an answer. your conspiracy might be true and you might have all the facts in your hand and it is still a theory because whatever organization your trying to prove your evidence to is not complying with you. 1001nights i am not trying to teach you a lesson or anything, you might know this information but the idea i get from people who talk about “conspiracy” is that they will listen to the media as the main source without looking at external factors that could be more accurate.
ohh i forgot to talk about corporate espionage .. lets say mcdonalds has an employee in its headquarters who is a muslim and that muslim found out that some of the companies it is investing in supports israel indirectly, the employee will be held accountable if the information is leaked and will have to pay a hefty fee for leaking that information (which he can never pay back) .. how is this part of corporate espionage ? well companies who deal with bad stuff they usually have a wonderful law firm that will think of every detail before it backlashes on them, so at the end you will see information being leaked by word of mouth but you will not see it by paper
Well, a good reason to eat at Mickey d’s I guess. I often boycott companies that support nonconservative, Zionist or other fascistic agendas. I’m just glad that none of them sell decent food at unbeatable prices in thousands of locations nationwide.
