Posted by a friend of mine who lives in Atlanta:

Quite close to where I work there is a Starbucks next to an Einstein's Bagels. This is also just down the street from the Israeli consulate. This week, a US-based Hamas terrorist group (for want of a better term - that's what it's being described as) attacked the Starbucks (where a friend of mine works), vandalizing it and writing: Hamas all over it. Starbucks is run by a well-known Jewish man. The Department of Homeland Security had to be called to investigate. Later in the week, a large black car with black tinted windows placed itself in the Starbucks' parking lot. The police were called but it left. The next morning, when the opener went to open the bagel shop (not sure if it's technically Jewish, but being bagels...), that same car pulled up, and the girl was attacked and stabbed three times. She's in intensive care.

Starbucks has been sending out notices that in no way are they sending money to support Israel.

Now, we've had peaceful protesting for the past couple of weeks in this area, being a massive business district and close to the Israeli embassy. But this is just...insane.
