Starbucks workers stand in solidarity with Hamas, Palestinians.

After the worst domestic terrorist assault in Israel’s history, a labor union that has been supported in the past by Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), and other proud leftists, expressed sympathy with Palestine and Hamas terrorists.
In now-deleted social media posts, Starbucks Workers United, a branch of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), proclaimed “‘Solidarity with Palestine! Boston’s ‘Long Live Palestinian Resistance’ event will take place on Monday.”
They also mentioned additional information regarding protests in favor of Palestine, the Hamas attacks, and have been encouraged by other union chapters in Boston, Chicago, and Iowa.
The Starbucks union, which has thousands of members and openly supports Palestinians over Israelis, joins other liberal and leftist Americans in this sentiment.
Six House Democrats are members of the Democratic Socialists of America, which sponsored protests in a number of U.S. locations to demand support for Palestinians.
Numerous Ivy League student organizations and a dean at Harvard University also accused the nation Israel of inciting the Hamas attack.
Rasmea Odeh, a Palestinian terrorist convicted by Israeli military courts for her involvement in the 1969 Jerusalem supermarket bombing, has been commended by Jaz Brisack, one of the union’s initial organizers, as a “freedom fighter,” according to the Washington Free Beacon.
“There’s no ‘two sides’ to apartheid. Free Palestine,” Brisack tweeted on Sunday in favor of the assaults.
Other anti-Israel legislators, like Representative Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), often accuse the nation of apartheid in an effort to delegitimize Israel and to condemn Jewish people overall.
The SEIU is being urged by detractors to denounce the celebration of the Hamas attacks by its members.
“As an affiliated union, the SEIU can’t take credit for Workers United’s organizing wins and then turn a blind eye when the union posts in defense of violent terrorist attacks,” Charlyce Bozzello, communications director at the Center for Union Facts, told the press.
The union later deleted another social media post expressing support for “Gaza resistance” fighters.

How does the growing trend of left-wing support for Palestinians and condemnation of Israel impact the principles of free speech and expression?
From True American Today.
This incident highlights the growing trend of left-wing support for Palestinians and condemnation of Israel. While it is important to uphold principles of free speech and expression, it is concerning when labor unions, which are meant to represent the interests of workers, align themselves with terrorists.
Israel has been the target of countless acts of violence and terrorism, with Hamas being a prominent player in these attacks. Supporting Hamas implicitly means supporting violence against innocent civilians, something that should never be condoned.
It is crucial to distinguish between legitimate criticism of Israeli policies and blind support for terrorist organizations. Criticizing certain actions by the Israeli government does not equate to supporting the actions of Hamas or any other terrorist group.
Furthermore, accusing Israel of apartheid is misleading and undermines the real struggles faced by victims of apartheid regimes. Israel is a democratic country with equal rights for all its citizens, including Arab-Israelis who make up a significant portion of the population.
By expressing sympathy with Palestine and Hamas, these left-wing groups are perpetuating a one-sided narrative that ignores the complex realities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It is essential to promote dialogue and understanding in order to find a peaceful solution, rather than fueling division and hatred.
The SEIU and other left-wing organizations must be held accountable for their statements and actions. Supporting terrorists goes against the values of justice, equality, and peace that these organizations claim to stand for. It is crucial for leaders within these groups to condemn violence and terrorism unequivocally.
In conclusion, the recent expressions of sympathy for Palestine and Hamas by the Starbucks Workers United union and other left-wing organizations are deeply troubling. Aligning with terrorists not only undermines the values of democracy and human rights but also perpetuates a divisive and one-sided narrative. It is important for individuals and organizations to critically analyze their stances and ensure they are promoting peace, understanding, and justice for all parties involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
