The Iowa City chapter also deleted\u200d a tweet promoting a rally at the Israeli consulate, according to screenshots provided to the Free Beacon.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>This display of solidarity with Hamas terrorists by a labor union affiliated with prominent liberal figures raises\u2064 serious concerns. It is deeply troubling that individuals and organizations that claim to champion progressive values would support\u200c and even celebrate violent attacks on innocent\u2064 civilians.<\/p>\n<p>The Hamas invasion into southern Israel resulted in \u2064the deaths of hundreds of\u2062 Jews, including 9 American citizens. This act of terror should be unequivocally condemned by all individuals and groups who believe in the sanctity of human life and the pursuit of peace.<\/p>\n<p>However, the \u200bStarbucks Workers United union and other liberal groups have\u200b chosen to side with Palestinians over their Israeli targets. They have rallied in support of\u200d the Palestinian attacks, using slogans such as\u200b &#8220;Long \u2064Live Palestinian \u2062Resistance&#8221;\u2064 and blaming Israel for provoking the Hamas attack. This blatant bias\u200b and one-sided \u2064narrative ignore the complexities and realities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to remember that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict \u2063is a\u2064 complex and deeply rooted issue that\u200d cannot be solved through violence and terrorism. The path towards a peaceful resolution requires dialogue, understanding, and a commitment to coexistence. Supporting and advocating for acts of terror only further perpetuates the cycle of \u200bviolence and undermines the prospects for\u200c a just and lasting peace.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the rhetoric and actions of the Starbucks Workers United union and its members are highly concerning. \u2062Praising Palestinian terrorists as &#8220;freedom fighters&#8221; and endorsing \u2064chants that are \u2062widely seen as calling for genocide against the Jewish state are not only\u200d morally reprehensible but also contribute to a toxic and dangerous environment.<\/p>\n<p>It is essential that the leadership of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) \u2064condemn\u2062 these alarming statements and hold its affiliate, Starbucks Workers United, accountable for its support of Hamas. By promoting and \u2064endorsing violence, the union tarnishes the reputation of the larger labor movement and undermines its credibility as a progressive force \u200bfor workers&#8217; rights.<\/p>\n<p>In light of these developments, it is imperative that individuals and organizations committed to justice and peace speak out \u200bagainst this misguided support for terrorism. We \u2064must reaffirm our commitment to non-violence,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starbucks employees, including Jaz Brisack, acknowledged that achieving Palestinian freedom would not be a peaceful process.
