Starbucks Can't Figure It Out

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) will no longer work on Starbucks’ anti-bias training sessions next month after the company faced backlash from activists, the company told Politico on Monday.
Activists criticized Starbucks for involving the ADL over the organization’s support for Israel and failure to endorse the Black Lives Matter movement. The group announced in 2016 that it would not fully endorse the movement over some leaders’ “anti-Israel — and at times anti-Semitic — positions."
Tamika Mallory, an organizer of the Women’s March, posted on Twitter that the ADL is “constantly attacking black and brown people,” and criticized Starbucks as “tone deaf" for involving the group.

Evidently, what this means is Jews are no longer welcome at Starbucks.
