Celebrate Eight Days of Chanukah – With 8,000 Free Meals Daily to Israel’s PoorJoin Meir Panim’s campaign to “light up” Chanukah for families in need.
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Starbucks issued a statement saying the company and its CEO do not provide any financial support to Israel or its army. The company updated a 4-year-old statement on its website after the spread of false “rumors that Starbucks or Howard provides financial support to the Israeli government and/or the Israeli Army,” the statement said, referring to Howard Schultz, Starbuck’s CEO, who is Jewish. The statement, a fact sheet in Q and A form, was updated on Aug. 5.
“Starbucks has been and remains a non-political organization. We do not support any political or religious cause. Additionally, neither Starbucks nor the company’s chairman, president and CEO Howard Schultz, provide financial support to the Israeli government and/or the Israeli Army in any way,” the statement said.
The company said in its statement that it closed its Starbucks stores in Israel in 2003 due to “on-going operational challenges that we experienced in that market.”
Starbucks has stores in 65 countries, including nearly 600 in 12 Middle Eastern and North African countries such as Morocco, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates.

And Jews as well as all supporters of Israel should boycott thus Starbucks giving them no financial aid.
H’mmmm a company which not only doesn’t pay it’s fair share of taxes, but advertises that it doesn’t trade with the only democracy in the ME. They sound delightful! Remind me never to go in there! #Costasgain

Everyone needs to share and boycott Starbucks. In this political climate any negative statement against Israel is portrayed as pro Hamas, pro antisemitic. Schwartz and Starbucks made a big mistake opening their trap without thinking it out better. Boycott

and I will never give any to Starbucks!
I will never set foot in a Starbucks again; nor go to the drive-thru; nor purchase any of their products; nor will I accept a Starbucks anything from another person—–ever again. I will encourage my friends to drop this bad habit also. There are plenty of other places to go. Israel is forever; Starbucks is not.

And I won’t support #starbucks either !
I wish I could boycott them, but they have an inferior product, with scads of better choices from numerous competitors, so I never go there. If you ask me, their market share is down and they want to tap into the anti-semitic crowd.
WHY????????????????????
Boycott the impostor state of “Israel”. The terrorist state. Go Palestine!
Who the **** cares? Your coffee stinks and so does your policy…
Cowards.
Go to hell Starbucks !!
No financial support is not the same as giving donations.
Stupid people they did not want to support the troops either will take my business elsewhere and spend less idiots

**** Starbucks,never been there , never will

Reading articles of Starbucks not doing business in Israel is very shameful to your company and us who side and defend this tiny country and its democracy. Oh well we do not need you . Dunkin Donuts coffee is the best followed by Tim Hortons. Besides they are half price too. Who needs you . I will make sure the Jewish community and supporters will boycott Starbucks.
Starbucks…worthlessss

And turn in your computer (processor and OS were developed in Israel). Cut off your electricity as CA is using Israeli solar technology to power the grid. Turn in your cell as that tech was developed in Israel. Don’t use Google Maps as that tech was designed in Israel. The list goes on. Now go live in your cave with the rest of the BDS’rs.

Never liked their coffee anyway! Tastes like Pish water!! Won’t ever go back there for anything!!!
Ali Haider, you are a delusional hater. Tjete has never been a Sovereign State called Palestine. That was a new name given by the Romans as pary of their efforts to sever the Jewish People’s connection to Israel.

Who needs Starbucks anyway? Bad, over-priced brownish water.
Just go to Aroma (Israeli company) instead.

You’re proud of that?

Anyone who doesn’t support Israel does not get any support from me. Spread the word give the money to the ID F
They have more important places to spend their money..ha! 40% of Starbuck’s benefit goes to support the gay rights and abortion…that’s why! Those who bless israel will be blessed. We accept God’s word over the nonesense of these big companies.
Hey Schwartz ass ! You lost my business forever ! You are slime bag coward & a shame ! Go straight to HELL , you greedy bastard ! PS . You can get a better coffee & value from Mac Donald’s !!

I worked there for 2weeks and quit.i will always regret not walking out during orientation when they said they don’t support our troops, so they won’t send them coffee. Plus their coffee is nasty and they are pompous. I miss barneys.go back to Seattle and leave everyone else alone.
My tax dollars pay for that and Israel’s artificial existence so why would I do that when I can use them against Zionism? McDonald’s however is usleless and etc…the boycott list goes on. I own “Israel” so what I say goes
So?
History…what would you like to discuss about history?

No one cares; I’m sure the Israelis don’t want your bland coffee, either.
Sad to see Jews not support their own, we need to stick together, especially in times like this.
OK I am now off starbucks
Midny Kuplniski I am actually part jewish and both Zuckerberg and I are not zionists.
Who wants to go to Starbucks, the coffee is no good and the prices are outrageous . If the owner is a Jew, he is a bastard because he can never be a descendant of Abraham.
I didn’t even like their coffee! But what I will do… I will tell all my friends to BOYCOT!
Thank goodness , it’s bitter no more.

I wonder if all the Hasidim in Lakewood NJ know this? Starbucks lost this Jews money!
Guess I’ll be making my lattes at home from now on.
Sounds like Starbucks coffee is thicker than blood. Good to know…
They don’t supply support to the American army either.
Spare us of this repetitive Ad.
YEP!! You’ve lost mine also!!!
No more Starbucks for me.
Your coffee’s terrible anyway, no loss that you moved out of Israel, because of pressure from Arab countries! We have ארומה NY city has Aroma!
Welp wont be goin there ever again!!!!! I STAND with Israel!!!!
Question! Are all the starbucks oh just a few?
Really do you think so? But probably you right..
Coffee bean is better anyway
Who is going to miss their brackish brew? A sorry excuse for coffee! Let the Arabs choke on this vile mud. Hope the Whitehouse enjoys this early morning brew.
No more Starbucks for me!
Cowardice towards a country in which they do business with the residents. If I were an Israeli, I would never go in Starbuck’s again!
You should be.
We don’t need your filthy money produced by perverts! Actually God and us are enough to stand on front of any nation and believe or not. Out Lord will cause all the nations to be against us, our Lord will bring them thinking that they will wipe us out, to their surprise our Messiah will destroy you, all to his glory alone. It’s written so it will happen nobody will be able to stop his anger cause he is coming as a Lyon yes the Lyon of Judah is coming!!!!!
Guess what? I no longer provide profit to Starbucks. Ah! That felt GREAT!!!!!!!
Then we will boycott Starbucks, for their anti-Semitism!!!
Then we will boycott Starbucks, for their anti-Semitism!!!
I have stopped patronizing Starbucks anyway.
Another reason NOT to buy Starbucks.
Another reason NOT to buy Starbucks.
And to know the owner is jewish
I and my family will STOP going into Starbucks. STUPIDITY what a company. I bet my life savings that no CEO or the owner of this IGNORANT co. Has never went to ISRAEL
It’s not so much that you Don’t Provide Financial Support to Israel, but it’s that you Didn’t Report Whether you Give Financial Support to Hamas! If this is a Neglect, it should be Corrected! Isn’t this Politically Incorrect? Won’t be buying Starbucks until I see that Report!
So Sick of the Term, “Politically Correct!”
who cares bout starbuck ?
Fk Starbucks
I hate their disgusting expensive coffee anyway.
Well buck out of America then….. go to gaza or syria or iraq….morons !
Howard Shultz a poor Jewish boy grew up in Canarsie Projects in Brooklyn!
I guess he forgot his Roots.
When he started his Co. He went to Jewish Stores to try to sell his Coffee!
Boycot Starbucks!
They will support gay and lesbian people by hiring them though!
No more Starbucks
Well, continue drinking my coffee from the house. Much cheaper and much better anyway. You stand against Israel, I won’t do business with you.
Who drinks coffee from a chain restaurant that supports jihadists !? Not me ! Stay strong Israel <3
No more support for Starbucks.
BOYCOTT ! SHAME ON YOU SCHWARTZ!
So glad there are no Starbucks in my state
No heart no soul no customers!!!
So what? How did this arise, that Starbucks had to even make a statement?
