Coca Cola is officially on the BDS list. Boycotts have been incredibly, incredibly successful in getting businesses to cut ties with Israel, or hurting them for not doing so. Let's add one more. #BoycottCocaCola
A graphic design from the BDS movement saying "boycott coca cola" Text on a red background, reads; "why boycott coca cola? Because it's implicated in israeli war crimes. According to research by Who Profits, the central beverage company, known as coca-coca israel, which is the exclusive franchise of the coca-cola company in israel, "operates a regional distribution center and cooling houses in the [israeli] atarot settlement industrial zone." Furthermore, its subsidiary, tabor winery, "produces wines from grapes sourced from vineyards located on occupied land in settlements in the West Bank and Syrian Golan." Text on a read background reads; "why now? Human rights and health activists, among many others, have been campaining against coca-cola and similarly complicit corporations for decades, including grassroots drives targeting the company for its complicity in israel's gross violations of Palestinian human rights. During israel's ongoing, livestreamed genocide, israeli soldiers have often been pictured with coke cans, donated to them by various genocode-enabling groups. This has provoked even more anger against the company, particularly given that israel is starving 2.3 million people in the occupied and besieged gaza strip, severely limiting their access to clean water and, as a result, inducing the mass spread of contagious diseases. Given this context, Palestinian activitists in Gaza and many BDS activitists in the arab world, in many muslim majority countries, and in some european countries as well, have called on the BDS movement to add coke to its priority targets.
