Santiago de Chile, January 31 (RHC)-- Chilean artist Javier Salinas led a peaceful protest at a Starbucks coffee shop in Santiago de Chile, ordering over $1,000 worth of coffee with the names of 300 children killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.
The names of the children were read out loud over the span of about two hours. Salinas named his action “$1,198.80 for the 300 last breaths of hope.”
Starbucks has faced widespread boycotts across the globe over its refusal to support a ceasefire in Gaza. Chile is home to more than half a million people of Palestinian descent — thought to be the largest Palestinian diaspora community outside the Middle East.
