McDonalds became the latest target of the boycott campaign against pro-Israeli businesses Tuesday when a couple of dozen activists representing the Union of Lebanese Democratic Youth (ULDY) picketed outside the fast-food chain's Hamra location across from the American University of Beirut (AUB).
Several police officers quietly observed as the store's manager came out to confront the protesters but, outnumbered and facing a deeply passionate crowd, soon retreated.
"I always had this guilt like we should not go eat at McDonalds nor at Starbucks or any of these franchises that are supporting the Zionists," Rasha Moghnieh, 21, replied when asked why she didn't cross the picket line to join her friends inside the restaurant.
