Friends of Al Aqsa, BDS National Committee and Palestine Solidarity Campaign are calling for a boycott of The Coca-Cola Company.
The #BoycotCocaCola campaign by Friends of Al Aqsa (FOA) calls for a boycott of Coca-Cola because it profits from the Israeli occupation of Palestine. It states “Coca-Cola has a factory in Atarot, an illegal Israeli settlement built on stolen Palestinian land."
In December 2024, the BDS National Committee added Coca-Cola to its priority boycott list. And in March 2025, Palestine Solidarity Campaign made Coca-Cola and its brands Schweppes, Sprite, Fanta, Innocent, Appletiser, Smart Water and Costa Coffee one of two strategic boycott targets for its new Don’t Buy Apartheid campaign.
In a guest post on our website, campaigns officer Lewis Backon explained that Coca-Cola's exclusive franchisee in Israel, The Central Bottling Company, owns a regional distribution centre and cooling house in the illegal industrial Atarot Settlement Zone, which is part of Israel’s project to “alter the demographic balance of [Jerusalem] by ethnically cleansing Palestinians, fragmenting and isolating their remaining communities, while expanding its colonial settlements”.
Leaflets and other Boycott Coca-Cola campaign materials are available for download on the websites of Friends of Al-Aqsa and Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
