Row brews in Turkey as Starbucks’ alleged Israel support leaves bitter taste
14 November 2023 16:53 GMT
Increasing numbers of Turkish people are joining a boycott against US-based coffee company Starbucks over its alleged support for Israel.
Several videos have circulated on social media over the past week showing protesters outside Starbucks cafes in Turkey, calling on customers to stop buying coffee from the company.
The campaign began in response to the Israel-Palestine war, during which an Israeli air and ground attack on Gaza has killed more than 11,200 Palestinians, including over 4,600 children.
The assault followed a Hamas-led attack on Israel that killed around 1,200 Israelis, the majority of whom were civilians.
One video from the Turkish port city of Izmir showing a protester spilling someone’s coffee has gone particularly viral.
