Howard Shultz, who is himself Jewish, "does not believe the terrorism (sic) is representative of the Palestinian people."

Fisk is such a silly boob. Check out the (sic) after “terrorism”!

No wonder the Islamist oppose Starbuck's, they have their own company.

Caribou Coffee 88% Owned by First Islamic Investment Bank

Nestlé is a SWISS company, not a US company. In 1867 Henri Nestlé developed the first infant food in Vevey, Switzerland. The corporate headquarters are still there, I remember, in or near Vevey.

Boycotting Burger King?
I smell PETA.
Let's not forget suing Pizza Hut too.

If you want to see this fall apart, all they have to do is tell them that Muslims are not welcome and will not be served! They will trip over their burnoose rushing to get back in.

Let's just boycott Arabs. We need less of them. And anything connected with the loon Fisk, of course. Odd thing, I know of exactly two Fisks and both are patently insane Arafat-lickers.

This war is on "terrorism", is a misnomer -- it is really shaping up as the Great War against those who cherish blinding stupidity, rather than take the world in all it's confusing and contradictory truths.

Your description of this war is dead on, from a certain point of view. After all, trying to bring the Arab World kicking and screaming out of the Twelfth Century is a hard task for anyone.

Meantime, this piece is yet another thinly disguised anti-Semitic rant from Great Britain's answer to Julius Streicher, Robert Fisk.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

Burger King incurred Arab anger more than two years ago when it opened an outlet in an illegal Jewish settlement on the occupied West Bank.

A "settlement" called "Maale Adumim." It is located adjacent to Jerusalem. IOW, what we in the USA usually call a "suburb."

Does this extend to all the booze, drugs and pornography tapes that the arabs consume...?

Perhaps it's time that some dedicated Freeper with more time and expertise than many of us enjoy to research and publish a list of top brand names or well-known companies owned in whole or in majority-part by Arabs.

It's an old American tradition....turnabout is fair play.

Maybe they are just making sure that there will be no arab casualties in the upcoming homicide bombing campaign.
