ROTTERDAM, Netherlands
Groups in the Netherlands gathered Sunday outside Starbucks branches in various cities to protest Israel's war on Gaza.
One group gathered in front of the company's outlet in Rotterdam city center.
Hanging posters with slogans like "Starbucks prepares drinks for genocide" and "Boycott Starbucks" alongside Palestinian flags, they distributed brochures detailing Israel's massacres in Gaza to passersby.
The demonstrators chanted slogans such as "Starbucks finances, Israel bombs," "Boycott Starbucks," "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" and (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) "Netanyahu is a terrorist."
Pro-Palestinian groups organized simultaneous protests in front of Starbucks branches in other cities as well.
