What exactly is Coca Cola’s role in Israel’s occupation?
Coca-Cola has a factory in Atarot, an illegal Israeli settlement built on stolen Palestinian land. Palestinian communities are forcibly removed for illegal Israeli settlements like this to be built. These settlements are illegal under international law.
By having an Israeli franchise in the illegal Israeli settlement of Atarot, Coca-Cola is ignoring international law and profiting from the illegal occupation.
There are currently up to 750,000 Israeli settlers living in at least 250 illegal Israeli settlements across the occupied West Bank and East Jeruasalem. By drinking Coca-Cola, we as consumers are turning a blind eye to the illegal occupation of Palestine.
In 2022 American food company General Mills announced it was divesting from Atarot as a direct result of pressure from human rights groups, activists and others.
Let’s keep up the pressure on Coca-Cola to stop operating in Atarot!
Join our call to #BoycottCocaCola until it stops operating in Atarot illegal Israeli settlement. Make a pledge to boycott Coca-Cola until it stops operating on stolen Palestinian land.
If you’re in the UK, they have several upcoming campaign and events you can participate in.
Also, UK peeps: bad news.
Costa canned drinks, Monster, and a lot of those major brand premixes (Jack Daniels and Coke, Absolut and Sprite, and so on) are Coca Cola linked here. Time to give Rockstar Drinks a better market share. Oh, no, wait - they’re Britvic. Part of Pepsi.
