NEWS Starbucks Union Backed By Prominent Dems Claims ‘Solidarity With Palestine’ After Hamas Terror Attack By Tim Pearce Oct 10, 2023 DailyWire.com FacebookTwitterMail
Great Neck, N.Y.: A woman holds up a sign as she joins other protestors in a rally against what they perceive to be union busting tactics, outside a Starbucks in Great Neck, New York, demanding the reinstatement of a former employee on August 15, 2022.

Ferrara/Newsday RM via Getty Images A Starbucks labor union with past ties to prominent members of the Democratic Party expressed “solidarity” with the people group that backed an unprecedented terrorist attack on Israel.
A social media account for Starbucks Workers United posted “Solidarity with Palestine!” following the deadliest terror attack on Israeli soil in the nation’s history, according to The Washington Free Beacon. The attack was carried out by Hamas, an Iran-backed terror group elected to lead Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The attack left over 1,200 civilians dead and thousands wounded, marking the deadliest single day for Jews since the Holocaust.
The union has since deleted the post, made on X, formerly known as Twitter, according to the Free Beacon, which captured a screenshot of the image. Starbucks Workers United is an affiliate of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and represents roughly 9,000 baristas.
The now-erased comment was made while reposting an image of a Palestinian bulldozer tearing down the Israeli-constructed wall between Gaza and Israel. The Hamas attack against Israel, which took place Saturday, included hundreds of terrorists who tore apart sections of the wall to transport vehicles, weapons, and militants into Israel.
In the recent past, a number of prominent Democrats have aligned themselves with the union, such as New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman.
Support for Palestinians has gained traction on the left-wing of the Democratic Party and in institutions such as Harvard since Israel declared war on Hamas on Sunday. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to repay Hamas for butchering hundreds of Israeli civilians with a war that the terrorists and their backers will remember for decades.
Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Cori Bush of Missouri put out statements criticizing Israel in the aftermath of the attack and expressing support for Palestinians. Tlaib, in a lengthy statement, falsely accused Israel of being an apartheid state and of occupying Palestinian territory. She then called for U.S. funding to Israel to be cut.
That’s why I don’t drink that piss and shun those who advertise for them by carrying a Starbucks cup with them everywhere they go.
Well, the good news is that the union is also an adversary to Starbucks.
Not surprised. Will coffee drinking take enough offense to boycott?
Piss on them. Literally. They like headless Jewish babies.
...Of course they are.
EVERY hip and trendy lefty and so-called “progressive” is jumping aboard the “Free Occupied Palestine” bandwagon right now.
I have never bought anything from starbucks..................
Where are those helicopters when you really need them?
This is another of those cases where I’d like to quit buying a company’s products except that I never did in the first place.
Full disclosure: I bought a cup of Starbuck’s coffee once in an airport where there was no other coffee available, not even from a vending machine. Horrible stuff. Faced with the same situation today, I’d do without any coffee.
Whatever. If anyone mentioned “Palestine” to any Barista at the drive through intercom, their reply would be “Sorry, hun. We don’t know how to make that”.
I tried their coffee once. A truck stop in the middle of nowhere with day-old coffee would be better. So, I can’t even boycott them.
I pull my own shots at home. Lavazza and Illy ftw.
(sigh) of COURSE it’s the SEIU.
People tell me their coffee tastes burnt..................
Here is the weak point in the DNC right now.
Their support of Hamas.
I’m sure the GOP-e will get right on this....
As I recall, it did.
Starbucks needs to be out of business. It’s more of a ‘statement’ drink than about good coffee.
It’s only a matter of time before customers start staying away, or defacing their stores.
Support Starbucks’ Kill a Jew Program:
From now till the end of the year Starbucks will sponsor 1 Hamas freedom fighter; for every 10,000 Venti coffees sold.
