Boycott Coca-Cola

by New Worker correspondent

Coca-Cola's famous Christmas truck is driving around towns and cities across the country in December to spread festive cheer, but the American soft-drinks corporation has only brought pain and violence to Palestinians through its complicity in Israel's land grabs in the West Bank. That's why we're tailing and confronting the Coca-Cola truck, to expose the truth about Coke's complicity in Israel's military occupation and apartheid. 
Coca-Cola operates facilities in the illegal Atarot Industrial Zone, based on stolen Palestinian land around occupied Arab Jerusalem. Through this, Coca-Cola is providing the economic underpinning for Israel's illegal occupation and apartheid. 
Palestinians living under Israel's military occupation in the West Bank are facing an escalation of Israel's military assaults, land grabs and settler violence, with over 220 Palestinians killed by the Israeli military and settlers in 2025 alone. By operating facilities in an illegal settlement, Coca-Cola is fuelling this horrific violence. 
The call to boycott Coca-Cola is a part of the Don't Buy Apartheid campaign which asks all individuals and shops to boycott all Coke products and Israeli produce.  
By taking these two key actions, and organising in our communities to get others to do the same, we can break the ties of corporate complicity that uphold Israel's genocide, military occupation and apartheid against Palestinians.
