🔻NEW OFFICIAL BOYCOTT TARGET🔻

Palestinian BDS National Committee:

Coca-Cola: Quenching “Israel’s” genocidal soldiers’ thirst

1) Why?

Because Coca-Cola is implicated in “Israeli” war crimes.

According to research by WhoProfits (https://www.whoprofits.org/companies/company/4081?the-central-bottling-company-cbc-coca-cola-israel), (https://www.whoprofits.org/companies/company/4081?the-central-bottling-company-cbc-coca-cola-israel) 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 (https://www.somo.nl/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Obligations-of-Third-States-and-Corporations-to-Prevent-and-Punish-Genocide-in-Gaza-3.pdf) 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 (https://www.instagram.com/bdsnationalcommittee/p/C7RY0Y4C-xu/), (https://www.instagram.com/bdsnationalcommittee/p/C7RY0Y4C-xu/) 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 (https://www.timesofisrael.com/over-100000-soldiers-to-receive-bamba-and-coke-thursday/) 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 (https://x.com/QudsNen/status/1827696428795482136) 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 (https://bdsmovement.net/news/victory-general-mills-divest-from-apartheid-israel) 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.

Practicing the SIFT method, stopping (S) to find out more. Investigation (I) on this subject has a few dead ends, not a lot of big announcements on this yet, but that might be because it's a recent thing or due to announcement suppression or other similar problems. Finding (F) more info is challenging but there is a good source here:

Tracing (T) original claims back to the Gaza BDS official website, hell yeah it's on. #boycottcoke can be used to support the movement too, when you pick out a Cokr alternative & spread the word.

Internet users: I'm not going to drink cocacola products anymore because they used AI in their marketing!

Cocacola, regularly:

November 2024

A critically important step in being a responsible consumer is knowing where your money goes. Ultimately, the products you purchase support the company who manufactured and/or sold them, but this does not always end at the company itself, as many companies are subsidiaries owned by a much larger corporation. While you may support the product itself, be sure you know where that money will end up and who it will ultimately support in the end. For example, you may support Honest Tea because it is organic, but that will end up in the pockets of The Coca Cola Company, who manufactures and sells products loaded with harmful chemicals. So, the support of Honest Tea means the support of many other companies you may not necessarily support. We urge everyone to ALWAYS research the parent companies before investing in a product. #theboycottmovement #boycott #cocacola #boycottcoke #boycottcocacola #boycottcokezero #boycottdietcoke #boycottpowerade #boycotthonesttea #boycottvitaminwater #boycottodwalla #boycottfanta #boycottsprite #boycottmelloyello #boycottsmartwater #boycottfresca #boycottsimplyorange #boycottdasani

People are angry over Coke’s Super Bowl ad about diversity

People are seeing politics everywhere this Super Bowl.

Coca-Cola ran a commercial just before kickoff that celebrated the diversity of the American people. The ad depicted scenes of people all over the country enjoying themselves, set to a multilingual version of "America the Beautiful."

Today millions cheer together, because together is beautiful. #AmericaIsBeautiful http://pic.twitter.com/z65LimssjD

Coca-Cola (@CocaCola) February 5, 2017

This was apparently enough to really upset some people on Twitter. The hashtag #BoycottCoke took off immediately among users complaining that the company was getting too political.

It's worth noting that the ad was actually recycled from a campaign that ran in 2014.

"The premise of Its Beautiful can be simply stated: America is beautiful and Coca-Cola is for everyone," the company said in a statement at the time.

These extreme reactions to relatively innocuous ads have been something of a running theme this Super Bowl thanks to our intense political climate.

Budweiser's focus on its immigrant founder also drew angry reactions, despite the fact the beer brand planned the ad months ago and didn't intend it to be a political statement. People were also mad online because of an Audi commercial that called for equal pay for women.

People are angry over Coke’s Super Bowl ad about diversity was originally posted by 16 MP Just news

[mediaandsocietyfan101-blog]

This Super Bowl commercial by Coca-Cola aired in 2014 and received criticism from those who were angry about the message that Coca-Cola was sending about who and what America stands for. The one minute commercial shows footage of beautiful American landscapes and scenes, while “America the Beautiful” is sung in all different languages in the background. Coca-Cola was trying to promote the message that what makes America beautiful is the equality and acceptance of those from all different backgrounds and cultures. While many thought that this commercial was a beautiful and moving portrayal of what America stands for, others were offended, clapping back with statements like, “This is America. Speak English or get out.” People even took to Twitter and started the hashtag #boycottcoke to further vent their frustrations.

Coca-Cola even re-aired this controversial commercial when President Trump signed the immigration ban in 2017. Obviously, despite the backlash and criticism that Coca-Cola received the first time around, they stood strong behind their message, stating: “We believe it’s a powerful ad that promotes optimism, inclusion, and celebrates humanity – values that are core to Coca-Cola.” The meaning and message behind this ad were meant to spread positivity throughout America, which is why this is a perfect example of how “meanings are created via the negotiation we undertake with each other to create social relationships, institutions and shared ways of life” (Carah & Louw, 2015, p.1).
