Stanford Students ‘Pledge to BDS,’ Will Protest Israel With a Sit-in at Starbucks
”Bring your keffiyeh/flag/sign, your homework and friends. We have strength in our collectivity!”
Stanford has gone completely off the rails in recent years. Is there something in the water there?
Campus Reform reports:
Stanford students to stage sit-in at Starbucks to protest Israel: ‘Pledge to BDS’
A Stanford University pro-Palestine group says it will stage a sit-in at a Starbucks on campus to protest Israel and pledge their commitment to the Boycott, Sanction, and Divest movement.
Sit in to Stop Genocide at Stanford University said in an Instagram post that the sit-in would take place Thursday through Saturday between 9:00 a.m. through 7:30 p.m. “to reclaim the community space Stanford wants to take from us while pledging NOT to buy from Starbucks.”
”While Stanford took down the sit-in we invite you to reclaiming space as a community. Join us between Thursday and Saturday from 9:00 am to 7:30pm as we will be sitting at Starbucks in our pledge to BDS,” the group wrote. “BDS is a long-term commitment to fostering an economic system where our choices do not contribute to other people’s suffering.”
”Bring your keffiyeh/flag/sign, your homework and friends. We have strength in our collectivity!” it added.
Starbucks has no locations in Israel and wrote in a December 2023 statement it has “no political agenda.”
”Our position remains unchanged. Starbucks stands for humanity. We condemn violence, the loss of innocent life and all hate and weaponized speech,” the coffee chain wrote.
As reported by Campus Reform, Stanford Sit-in to Stop Genocide staged a sit-in on campus for 120 days, which ended on Feb. 17.
Stanford Sit-in to Stop Genocide posted a screenshot of a letter from the school’s administration on Feb. 13, stating administration will hold meetings on the group’s demands if they end the sit-in on Friday at 8 p.m.
During those meetings, Stanford administrators held two negotiation sessions and agreed to four demands from the group, according to the Stanford Daily. It’s unclear which demands the university has agreed to. Campus Reform has reached out to the university for clarification.
Organizers for the sit-in told the outlet that Stanford President Richard Saller and Provost Jenny Martinez both agreed to “deliberate about coordinating with Palestinian students to release a statement about their experiences over the past four months.”

Don’t tell these “students” about Maxwell House, which for decades published Passover Hagadahs with a bit of advertising attached.
Uh yeah ok makes zero sense. Starbucks sources many of its coffee beans from muzzie countries like Indonesia that support the palis. That’s where java coffee comes from idiots. Its a global economy, stanford students are woke joke.
Sit-in at Starbucks….lol
You couldn’t come up with a more overprivileged entitled sense of arrogance if you tried. Loitering in a place that is notoriously friendly whether people buy or not on comfy coaches and environmentally conditioned spaces. That will really show ’em!
Doubly funny because Starbucks’ Baristas Union came out with some truly vile anti-Israel statements & before that there have been customer complaints about baristas harassing customers with first names. So who’s going to suffer from the boycott?
I love it when the left eats its own.
There are two easy ways to arrest people for breaking laws in this instance.
-Trespassing, especially if individuals refuse to leave or demand to enter if asked to exit the premises when the fire code for the building is above capacity.
-Anyone that forcibly tries to stop other people from buying anything from Starbucks can be arrested for interference with commerce by threat or violence.
I’m not sure what to say about this as its so cliche I can’t stop laughing. Skinny Jean man bun scraggly beard guy who is hoping to pass the friend zone is tagging along with angry woke lesbians? Oh, man…
Starbucks on University Ave in Palo Alto. lol
to show pro freedom support
people should perform sit-ins at aoc pelosi the squads etc tax funded offices
will starbucks shut down the next day and inform their workers that they must serve up free coffee etc to any more of these pro blmplo sit-ins?
How often has anyone confronted these demonstrators protesting “genocide” with dictionary definitions of “genocide?”
If one of the “genocide”-decrying protestors replies that while the dictionary doesn’t exactly fit their use of “genocide,” that is their individual definition of “genocide”- “my truth.” A reply to “my truth” might be to point to, e.g., a blue pair of pants and inform them that while one might want to call the blue pair of pants a red pine tree, any sane person would call it a blue pair of pants.
Let them sit their carcasses where they want but punish them for missing class
I hope photos are posted and sent to prospective employers when/if these leftists graduate.
