The rabidly anti-semitic terrorist sympathizers of radical Islamist-owned Press TV are whining about being blocked from user-access in Starbucks.
Press TV A blogger, by the name of N. Salem chronicled the step-by-step challenge of trying to access the Press TV website from famed-coffee cafe Starbucks in 2011. Asking: “Why do you think Starbucks is blocking PressTV.com?”
We called Starbucks to find out why certain websites would be accessible and not others but associates didn’t offer a definitive answer. The President, Chairman and CEO of Starbucks Howard Schultz, has openly supported anti-Iranian Israeli policies. There has been other evidence in the past that may suggest that PressTV is purposely being blocked from the American public.
A quick web search pulls up a truckload of websites on a hate campaign against Starbucks and its chairman, Howard Schultz. In 2002, Schultz made a speech blaming the Palestinian people for the deadlock in Palestinian-Israeli negotiations and suggested that the Palestinian resistance against Israel was a “manifestation of anti-Semitism.”
In 1998, Schultz was honoured by the Jerusalem Fund of Aish HaTorah and presented with the “Israel’s 50th Anniversary Friend of Zion Tribute Award.” Aish HaTorah describes itself as an “apolitical international network of Jewish education centres.” However, the organization’s actions suggest that it advocates Zionist (Israeli) supremacy in the Middle East. Although Schultz’s spending record is private, it has been reported that the Starbucks chairman gives financial support to the Zionist cause.
Because of this, a rumor about Starbuck’s funding the Israeli military went viral a few years ago, along with protests demanding worldwide boycotts of Starbucks.
Brendan O’Neill wrote about the “Schultz letter” proving the Starbucks-Israel link:
Many of the claims about ‘Zionist coffee’ and a link between Starbucks and the Israeli military spring from a letter allegedly written by CEO Howard Schultz. Dated 11 July 2006, and titled ‘A Thank You To All Starbucks Customers’, Schultz apparently said that ‘with every cup you drink at Starbucks you are helping with a noble cause’: ensuring the ‘continued viability and prospering of the Jewish State’. Schultz seems to say that the $5 billion donated by America to Israel every year is ‘no way near enough to pay for all the weaponry, bulldozers and security fences needed to protect innocent Israeli citizens from anti-Semitic Muslim terrorism. Corporate sponsorships are essential [too]’. Schultz thanks Starbucks customers for helping him to raise ‘hundreds of millions of dollars each year’ to support the state of Israel. This seemingly Starbucks-damning letter has been on the internet for two-and-a-half years, and it now underpins much of the current anti-Starbucks, pro-Gaza protesting.
However,
the ‘Schultz letter’ is a hoax; worse than that, it’s a piece of satire that has been accepted by some people as fact. The letter was written, not by Schultz, but by Andrew Winkler, an Australian-based ‘anti-Zionist media activist’ of German origin. It was published as a parody of Schultz, and clearly advertised as a parody, on the anti-Zionist website ZioPedia on 11 July 2006. Winkler later wrote: ‘The Howard Schultz spoof letter has caused quite a bit of a stir… Howard Schultz never wrote that letter, I did.’ Yet now it has become something like a modern, internet-shared version of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion: a hoax document supposedly written by a Jew which is cited by some people as evidence of Zionist wickedness.
Regarding the author of the hoax letter, Andrew Winkler is a Holocaust denier
Press TV, nothing more again than a whiner machine, just like every other moochit apparatus~!,,,
IF Medals were awarded for cultural whining, the moochits would sweep the decks, continuously~!
Need to buy Starbucks Ice Cream.
I’ve decided I’m gonna start buying a lot more coffee from Starbucks. Not that I don’t anyway, their chai frappacinos are to die for
I have not been a fan of Starbucks since I am a coffee fanatic, but now I will have to become their customer. I will support Israel and all of her friends.
Until you switched BNI to new servers, it was blocked on McDonald’s wi-fi in London. It’s available now.
John, Mickey D’s blocked me? LOL
Yep. Remember, most McDonalds in London are halal…
Never liked Starbucks coffee, too strong for my taste buds, but I will give them my business by buying other items on the menu from now on. It’s good to know who these businesses are and give them our money, likewise, it’s also good to boycot businesses known to support Islamic jihad.
I’m going out this morning to buy starbuck coffee…Best Coffee on the market, StarBuck.
Thank you Starbucks. Keep protecting innocent Israeli citizens from anti-Semitic Muslim terrorism. We support you.
Sounds to me like Starbucks is primarily doing this just to create turnover … like ALL restaurants do. Some idiot sitting there taking up hours and hours of table makes them lose money.
Yeah, anyway, fourteen million+- Jews on the planet and one and a half billion+- Muslims on the planet. Those Jews must be REALLY omnipotent to be the problem claimed by Muslims!
I only use Starbucks coffee! Now that I know it pisses them off I’ll drink more coffee.
Those terrorist protestors should be careful protesting outside starbucks. I heard fresh coffee can be pretty hot.
Not just hot. It could leave coffee stains all over their pretty placards. One misstep while putting a lid on a cup o jo and WHOOPS.
Guess even a dedicated Dunkin Donuts fan like me will have to drop into Starbucks a couple of times to say thanks and try to find a coffee drink of theirs I actually like.
Meanwhile, in New Jersey, dhimmigov Christie is whining about us “bigots” who object to his sucking up to the sharia peddlers again:

Hope Romney has the sense not to even seriously consider this corpulent clown as a running mate. Whatever else Christie may get right, this is one big ugly FAIL that must not be ignored.
RRA, I am not a Starbucks fan either, but try their Morning blend, it’s the least bitter.
I am going to post that video and add all my other stories about Christie the Islamofascist panderer.
Mit Romney need to have sense if he want to win. It is better to loose without Christie than to win with him.
Live long Starbucks for the best cause save pennies to save Israel. God Bless Israel. Amen
Knowing this will make me a strong supporter of Starbucks. Thanks.
Starbucks coffee is dreadful – a cup of hot milk with brown grit in it. I will have to find something else to buy in there, though…
Thumbs up to Starbucks! I only wish they would block Al Jazeera as well.
no starbucks near but have shopped them in the past. their coffee blends are sold in grocery stores as well. thank you Starbucks for blocksing presstv. bunch of dopes there. it’s really sad that when the palestinenians were offered their own land they said No
how funny the gay’s want to do a big thing in support of starbucks like the Chicken thing,and the muslims want to go after them…I am lol…
Well, Starbuck’s has just regained my business AND my respect!! I’ll be travelling to the Far East soon, where Starbuck’s will be about the only coffee available; I’ll feel much better about doing business there in the mornings, thirteen hours ahead of my normal time zone! But knowing Starbucks supports Israel and NOT the Asslifters is sure to make their coffee taste better to me!!
humm, if you are going to Japan, don’t bother with Starbucks. Every little coffee shop has the best coffee in the world.
I really don’t care for Starbucks’ coffee, but (after the suggestion above) I will get a Morning Blend with lots of cream and enjoy supporting a place that doesn’t support islamic terrorism. Go Starbucks!
I don’t even drink coffee, but I’ll be going to Starbucks this week!
I don’t drink coffee but I’m sure I could find something good to drink or eat at Starbucks.Might go there tonight and check them out.
I’m not a coffee drinker, but I do watch my carb intake, and I understand that starbuck’s has a line of sugar-free syrups that can be used for making delicious sugar-free, low-carb deserts. I’ll have to mosey on over to my local Starbuck’s and get some of those syrups.
I’ll only buy coffee at Starbucks!
For the first time in ages, I have an irresistible urge for a Starbuck’s Coffee.
we need to know of similar companies so we can support them just as we need to know
the HALAL compliant companies to show our opposition to their support for terrorist groups.
When looking to purchase the Pork Eating Crusader Patch also got one with Starbucks
logo Guns and Coffee …..look very nice on my jacket …BNI you are great and GRATE on
CAIR which is extra great.
For this would drink Starbucks coffee if it didn’t taste so bad. These people don’t understand that terrorist took over Palestinian state. And if it wasn’t for them the war would be over. But now the brotherhood know those terrorist can’t be trusted. Were Egypt was attacked. Buts its funny one terrorist group can’t trust another.
Now Syria is going to get help from Iran why and how. Iran doesn’t border with Syria it borders with Iraq and Turkey first so who’s going to be attacked first. In Iraq they still got some of our troops. And most likely Iraq will back down. So that don’t work . But with Turkey you got NATO better idea.
Iran wants a war well Turkeys government better smarten up. But Israel or fall. NATO backed down 2 times from backing Turkey here comes number 3. Obama will sit in the White House head between his legs sucking a nut. That’s what you get putting someone in the White House who only knows how to kiss ass.
Just checked pesstv funny the spell checker keeps saying pest. But love one story American Indians on war path over pipeline. How did they pull that news out of their ass.
For the interest of those who either CCW or Open Carry,,, Starbucks follows the law of the business locality it is resident in,,,
IT DOES NOT restrict CCW or OPEN CARRY, where permitted by law.
Google, “Starbucks CCW Policy” and you’ll find over 4,400,000 hits,,,
Just one, from Hawaii – http://hawaiiccw.com/news/support-starbucks-valentines-day/
QUOTE: Starbucks’ statement on the matter was surprisingly common sense. In 2010, the coffee giant issued the following statement: ‘ “We comply with local laws and statutes in all the communities we serve. That means we abide by the laws that permit open carry in 43 U.S. states. Where these laws don’t exist, openly carrying weapons in our stores is prohibited. The political, policy and legal debates around these issues belong in the legislatures and courts, not in our stores.” ‘

AND
For those who feel that the kaufey is a bit bitter,,, take a real TINY pinch of salt, and stir it in,,, it removes the bitterness,,, and that works for ALL kaufeys ~!
( And l know,,, Coffee is Kaufey, no matter HOW it’s spelled~! ( smile ) )
Grouchy Fogie: THANKS! I had never heard about salt doing that, I just tried it, and while it took a bit more than a tiny pinch, it Worked! I appreciate the tip.
That’ll be good to know when and if I move back to Nebraska, where they allow CCW.
I can go to Starbuck’s and have something OTHER than their coffee (I always prefer local shops for the coffee, itself.)
