Some of the pro-Palestinian protesters have targeted businesses they see as supporting Israel.
The waves of the war between Israel and Hamas also hit surprising targets in the world.
Demonstrators who support the Palestinians in different countries, for example in the United States, Britain, Germany and France, have suddenly taken very surprising parties as the targets of their protests.
The fast food restaurant McDonald’s has received hate because Israel’s McDonald’s has given free meals to Israeli soldiers. McDonald’s has tried in vain to explain that the restaurants operate on the franchise principle, and the decisions made by an individual entrepreneur cannot be generalized to the entire chain.
In France, placards have been distributed in connection with the protests, which claim that those who buy McDonald’s products support genocide.
In Britain, protesters have released mice painted with the colors of the Palestinian flag into some McDonald’s restaurants, reports British broadcasting company BBC. Daily Express afternoon newspaper has in turn told about the protesters mocking the restaurant’s customers in London.
The cafe chain Starbucks is demanded by some of the protesters to be boycotted because the company has condemned the terrorist acts of Hamas. The company took a stand on the issue after the union representing the employees published a message supporting Hamas on social media. The company sued the union, demanding it to stop using the Starbucks name and logo, among other things. The union responded with a counterclaim.
Demands for a boycott against Starbucks are now spreading on social media.
German Berliner Zeitung magazine writes that in Berlin, for example, protesters have disturbed Starbucks customers and spat on the walls of the cafe. According to the newspaper, the reason behind the boycott could also be that the company’s founder Howard Schultz is Jewish.
In Britain, the day of remembrance for the fallen, which is celebrated on November 11, has also drifted into turmoil.
Authorities are considering banning pro-Palestinian demonstrations on Memorial Day. This has led to the fact that some of the fiercest protesters have now targeted Remembrance Day.
Daily Mail afternoon newspaper reports that hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted the sale of a Remembrance Day poppy badge at a train station in Edinburgh, and at least one vendor was forced to leave by the protesters.
Continuously updated monitoring of the war between Israel and Hamas.
