#side note: my favorite chant from that march was 'trans fifs et gouines pour la palestine!'

[purplespacecats]

fuck starbucks and fuck multinational corporations in general but they are in no way shape or form supporting the israeli government, which is why, contrary to popular belief, they aren't on the bds list

they sued their union over taking a pro-palestine stance which is shitty, and their official corporate stance is both-sidesy nothingness, but if they came out and said "free palestine" that would have no material impact. because, again, unlike the companies on the bds list, they don't support the israeli state!!!

the point of bds isn't to pressure companies into putting out a fucking statement in support of palestine, it's to pressure them to end their material support of israeli apartheid!!! like, please understand that this is not a symbolic battle!!!!

so, again, fuck starbucks and their liberal wishy-washy statements and their anti-union bullshit, but a) neither bds nor the starbucks workers union are calling for a boycott and b) it is so much more useful to focus on the actual bds list. please.
