Boycotting of Starbucks is a very important topic. By boycotting Starbucks and being successful we are saying NO to our hard earned money going to the Israeli government. We are saying NO it is not acceptable for Shultz to make typical Zionist remarks against the Palestinian people and than go and pretend in front of the American public that he is all for peace. We are saying NO to deception, NO to Israel, NO to the killing of innocents, NO to funding of the Israeli war machine.

IN DEFENSE OF IRAN
Is Iran really a threat to world peace?
Is it trying to develop nuclear weapons?
Does it support terrorism? Is it "meddling" in Iraq?
Does it want to destroy Israel?
What's really behind the ongoing tension between
the United States & the Islamic Republic of Iran?

About the Book
"Honest, intelligent, and daring! ... a must read for every American curious to learn about Iran." — FATEMEH KESHAVARZ,
author of Jasmine and Stars: Reading More Than Lolita in Tehran
"In Defense of Iran: Notes from a U.S. Peace Delegation's Journey through the Islamic Republic" by Phil Wilayto tells the story of a journey organized in 2007 by the author and co-sponsored by the Virginia Anti-War Network and The Richmond Defender newspaper. In describing the delegation's travels, Wilayto attempts to address the many charges being leveled against Iran and suggests ways that the U.S. peace movement can most effectively work to prevent a new war.
