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 defence industries and to 
showcase the newest Israeli innovations in defence. 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" 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.

Howard Schultz
Chairman & Chief Global Strategist
