I have to go with all the sculptors' and vase painters' fave, Dionysus. I kinda love that guy, but who is your favorite? Did I miss them? Is it Vesta? Tell me in the tags who it is, and I'm sorry I couldn't fit everyone in.

And while you are here, reblog and donate if you can to help a woman widowed by genocide and her young son and daughter. They should be safe and learning to read at school, not living in a cold tent on the beach in winter subject to rain and poisonous bugs. The prices in Gaza continue to soar as well, so please help in any way you can.

Coca-Cola is now on the official BDS boycott list!

From the website:

November 2024

1) Why?

Because Coca-Cola is implicated in Israeli war crimes.

According to research by WhoProfits, the Central Beverage Company, known as Coca-Cola Israel, which is the exclusive franchisee 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.” 

The International Court of Justice affirmed in July 2024 that Israel’s entire occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, is illegal, as are all Israeli settlements built on occupied land. As Israeli settlements – on occupied Palestinian and Syrian land – are considered war crimes under international law, Coke is complicit in a war crime. 

Corporations that are implicated in the commission of international crimes connected to Israel’s unlawful occupation, racial segregation and apartheid regime - within or beyond the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967 - are all complicit and must be held accountable. Direct complicity includes military, logistical, intelligence, financial and infrastructure support. The corporations, as well as their boards of directors and executives, may face criminal liability for this complicity.

Local alternatives are popping up worldwide to substitute Coca-Cola, an unnecessary and replaceable beverage

Local alternatives to Coca-Cola have been gaining market share across the world, including in Palestine, China, Bangladesh, Sweden, Egypt, India, South Africa, Turkey, Lebanon and elsewhere.

2) Why NOW?

The BDS movement has always considered Coca-Cola boycottable but has not prioritized it as a target based on its careful and strategic target-selection criteria, so why endorse the Coke boycott now? 

Human rights and health activists, among many others, have been campaigning 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 genocide-enabling groups. This has provoked even more anger against the company, particularly given that Israel is starving 2.3 million Palestinians 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 activists in Gaza and many BDS activists 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.

The BDS movement had previously targeted General Mills for its manufacturing of Pillsbury products in the illegal Atarot Settlement Industrial Zone - the same Zone where the Coke facility operates. Thanks to effective BDS campaigning, we won the demand for General Mills to end its business in Atarot. We know a campaign against Coke is winnable too. 

Based on all the above, and given Coke’s large contribution (through business-as-usual and taxes) to Israel’s war chest during the genocide, the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), the largest Palestinian coalition leading the global BDS movement, has endorsed the grassroots, organic #BoycottCoke campaigns to pressure the company to end its complicity in Israel’s illegal occupation, apartheid and genocide.

My name is Shamaah and I am really sorry for invading your privacy, I am a queer Palestinian Latina, living with type 1 diabetes since childhood. A Few weeks ago, I was brutally assaulted, and my father was killed defending me. After being discharged from the hospital, I learned my mother had also been killed, and my sibling is missing. I’m now staying with family friends, but they plan to take me to the Rafah camp, where I fear for my life because they really mistreat queers in the camp and also I can’t afford insulin which holds my life 😭. I hope to flee to Egypt, but need $6,500 for a safe evacuation. Your support could help ease my suffering🇵🇸❤️

My name is Mercy Alfaat, and I’m from Gaza. I apologize for reaching out without prior permission. The war has destroyed my home, and my family has lost everything. We have been displaced several times, and there is no safe place for us. I am struggling with Type 1 Diabetes and cannot afford insulin, while my mother requires treatment for kidney failure outside of Gaza. Any donation, no matter how small, would greatly assist us in surviving and getting my mother the care she needs. A friend outside Gaza is helping facilitate the donation program. Please let me know if you need more information. You can donate through the link in my pinned post. Thank you, and God bless you ❤️

To all those who read my question, I would like to extend a helping hand to provide an insulin pump to save my child's life from danger and maintain his insulin level in his body.

He suffers from episodes of diabetic coma due to the instability of his insulin 😔.

This pump will help him regulate his sugar and save his life.

My little boy needs your help so that I can buy it for him and provide him with other medical supplies.

We need to reach 10,000 euros as soon as possible to secure what I have mentioned.

Donate and spread the word to your friends

Only €2060 raised of €25,000 target! Last donation was more than 3 day ago
