“However, the ‘Schultz
letter’ is a hoax; worse than that, it’s a piece of satire that has been
accepted by some people as fact. The letter was written, not by
Schultz, but by Andrew Winkler, an Australian-based
‘anti-Zionist media activist’ of German origin. It was published as a
parody of Schultz, and clearly advertised as a parody, on the
anti-Zionist website ZioPedia on 11 July 2006. Winkler later wrote: ‘The
Howard Schultz spoof letter has caused quite a bit of a stir… Howard
Schultz never wrote that letter, I did.’ (10) Yet now it has become
something like a modern, internet-shared version of the Protocols of the
Elders of Zion: a hoax document supposedly written by a Jew which is
cited by some people as evidence of Zionist wickedness.”

Dear Reader,
The
Howard Schultz spoof letter above has caused quite a bit of a stir. We
had over 10,000 visitors reading this article in the past 24 hours. Some
of them were not quite sure whether the article was ‘kosher’ or not.
Well, it was and it wasn’t.
Howard Schultz never wrote that letter, I did. If you didn’t find it
funny, blame it on my German humour. However, all the statements I made
in that letter about donations, sponsorships, political views etc. – are
based on factual Howard Schultz actions and quotes, as 1/2 hour of
‘Googling’ will easily confirm to anyone interested.
 
There
is obviously a lot of emphasis right now on Israel’s most recent brutal
aggression against Lebanon and the Gaza strip. However it’s important
not to forget that the current events are part of a bigger pictures,
Israel’s imperialist plans for the region. Let’s face it, whatever us
critics will say against Israel, it will always be interpreted as being
anti-Semitic. In fact, the current edition of the US dictionnary Webster
defines anti-Semitism as ‘criticism of Israel’. How cool is that?
