OXFAM: STARBUCKS TOO JEWISH

I DON'T DRINK COFFEE AND DON'T LIKE THE WAY STARBUCKS COFFEE SHOPS ARE PUSHING LOCAL BUSINESSES OUT OF NEIGHBORHOODS. THAT BEING SAID, AFTER READING THE BELOW ARTICLE I WILL MAKE IT MY BUSINESS TO SPEND MONEY AT STARBUCKS IN THE FUTURE. I WILL ALSO PLACE ALL BULK MAIL REQUESTS FOR MONEY FROM OXFAM RIGHT NEXT TO THE TOILET PAPER FOR EASY ACCESS.

Oxfam drops link with Starbucks
Aid charity Oxfam today denied that lobbying by Muslim groups was behind its decision to terminate a deal with coffee conglomerate Starbucks. The charity disputes claims by the Boycott Israel Campaign, a collective of Muslim organisations including the Islamic Human Rights Commission and the Muslim Association of Britain, that Oxfam bowed to pressure after months of campaigning.

Since Oxfam announced its partnership with Starbucks last October, the Boycott Israel Campaign has lobbied against the charity, accusing it of double standards and alleging that the Starbucks chairman, Howard Schultz, is a pro-zionist activist....

Oxfam's partnership with Starbucks involved a £100,000 investment by Starbucks into a rural coffee-growing project in Ethiopia and a range of expertise-sharing programmes focusing on improving trading agreements for millions of coffee farmers in developing countries.
