Dear Starbucks Customer,

First and foremost I want to thank you for making Starbucks the $6.4 billion global company it is today, with more than 90,000 employees, 9,700 stores, and 33 million weekly customers. Every latte and macchiato you drink at Starbucks is a contribution to the close alliance between the United States and Israel, in fact it is - as I was assured when being honoured with the “Israel 50th Anniversary Friend of Zion Tribute Award” - key to Israel’s long-term PR success. Your daily chocolate chips frappucino helps paying for student projects in North America and Israel, presenting them with the badly needed Israeli perspective of the Intifada.Starbucks, through the Jerusalem Fund of Aish HaTorah, an international network of Jewish education centres, sponsors Israeli military arms fairs in an effort to strengthen the special connection between the American, European and Israeli defense industries and to showcase the newest Israeli innovations in defense. As my contribution to the fight against the global rise of anti-Semitism, the reason behind the current conflict in the Middle-East, I help Aish HaTorah sponsoring the website "honestreporting.com” and produce material informing of Israel’s side of the story.

Without you, my valued customer, I wouldn’t be able to raise hundreds of millions of dollars each year to support Israeli citizens from terrorist attacks and keep reminding every Jew in America, to defend Israel at any cost. $5 billion per year from the US government are 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.
Having the bigger picture in mind, Starbucks have donated a store to the US army to help in the “War on Terror”. I cannot emphasise enough, how vital the “War on Terror” is for the continued viability and prospering of the Jewish State.
So next time you feel like chilling out at a Starbucks store, please remember that with every cup you drink at Starbucks you are helping with a noble cause.

Israeli Massacre - Jenin and Nablus

Gulf News, Dubai, May 4, 2002 

As many as 650 Palestinians were martyred and seven others injured in Jenin and Nablus, said Riadh Al Zaanoon, Palestinian Minister of Health.

"Only seven Palestinians were injured in Jenin and Nablus but those killed are 650. The Israelis did not want to see wounded persons in the Jenin refugee camp. All what they wanted is death, death and more deaths," Al Zaanoon was quoted by the Arabic daily Al Bayan yesterday.

"As the Israelis invaded the camp after a heroic steadfastness and the Palestinian resistance ran out of their ammunition, there were may casualties who would have recovered if they have been medically treated. But Israeli forces intentions were clear and decisive; there should be no wounded people in the camp. So they killed them in cold blood, brutality and in violation of all laws and ethics which forbids killing a wounded person."

"The crime which should be made clear to the world is that of the 380 martyrs in Jenin alone, 280 or two-thirds were women and children. If they regard men as a threat, why should women and children be massacred in these numbers?"

"Another crime is the destruction of the camp, rendering its residents homeless. Hundreds of men above 45 years were separated from their families as they were dispersed to different villages."

"Yet another crime is of 13,000 residents in the camp, more than 2,000 were detained."

"Since the outbreak of the Palestinian intifada up to Israel's incursion into Jenin and Nablus, 1,500 Palestinians were killed and 35,800 injured. As Israel invaded Jenin and Nablus, 650 more were added to the death toll in 20 days," Al Zaanoon said."

Amnesty International : 

This report looks specifically at the actions of the IDF in Jenin and Nablus between April and June 2002. It examines allegations of unlawful killings; the use of "human shields"; torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment of people detained; blocking of medical assistance, food and water; and the destruction of property, including damage or destruction of the civil infrastructure, commercial buildings, historic and religious buildings and homes. The report also reflects the means employed by the State of Israel to keep its human rights practices shielded from internal and external scrutiny.

What Israel Doesn`t Want The World To See.

What the Israelis don’t want the whole world to see The First Massacre in the 21st Century The Dirtiest Bloodshed in the history of Mankind The Massacres of Nablus and Jenin in Palestine Cities that were turned into empty “ghost houses” by the Israeli armies within 10 days only Claiming to fight terrorism But they were unable to perform the “complete crime” WARNING:  The following pictures are harsh and inhumane.    Jenin refugee camp destroyed by the Israeli bulldozers, a destruction  that even earthquakes can never make    Just imagine if this were your house …      Even bedrooms are no more safe to sleep in …      A “city of ghosts” can be the only way to describe this disaster  In Jenin, a new holocaust was committed,  but what is different about it is that people  were not taken into arresting camps, but  they were burnt in their houses by burning  missiles …         Burning bodies was not enough, demolishing houses was  necessary to prevent the escape of people from their houses …      Was this body burnt dead or alive before burying it  under the rubble ?    Dozens of corpses collected in a small room, aid workers  unable to work due to lack of equipment and due to fear  of spread of epidemics    In Nablus, the massacre was just indescribable…    Does this old man deserve such a death ?      Cotton placed in cavities … what kind of weapon was used  against this man ?      Head broken into pieces …          The old woman’s body shredded into pieces  … where’s the world community ?  No Comment               --- May God bless our Martyrs,  may they rest in peace up in  the heavens        THE FACTS     During the last Israeli incursions in Jenin and Nablus,  more than 500 Palestinians were reported killed …     Ambulances and red cross workers were prevented from  saving injured people by the Israeli Forces      More than 8,000 Palestinians were arrested for nothing  What is your role now ? Just watch? Cry?  I don’t think so …  You have now seen the unrevealed, but others have not  Be responsible, take this matter seriously  Let the people know the truth, forward this Slideshow to family and friends …  Whether you are a Muslim, Christian, or other, as long as you are a human being …  … Keep this in your mind  And remember, don’t be fooled with what you’re fed by the media
