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 <
http://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.
