RESEARCH FINDINGS :
From 1966 onward Coca-Cola has been a stauch supporter of Israel.[4]
In 1997 the Government of Israel Economic Mission honored Coca-Cola at
the Israel Trade Award Dinner for its continued support of Israel for
the last 30 years and for refusing ro abide by the Arab League boycott
of Israel. [1]
[ In contrast Pepsi abided by the Arab League boycott of Israel which
ended in May 1991, after 1992 Pepsi is also trading in Israel - see
[2] ]
In 2001 the Coca-Cola World Headquarters hosted and was the main
sponser of the American-Israel Chamber of Commerce Awards Gala.[5].
It has ben revealed that Coca-Cola Israel sponsers training programs
for its workers on subjects including the Israeli-Arab conflict. The
course content is created by a company funded by the Jewish Agency and
the Israeli government.[6]
In February 2002, Coca-Cola teamed up with "Friends of Israel" and
National Hillel to cosponser a lecture given by the infamous zionist
correspondent Linda Gradstein at the University of Minnesota.[3]
In July 2002, it has been announced that Coca-Cola, in return for
millions in incentives from the Israeli government, is to build a new
plant on stolen Palestinian land at Kiryat Gat.[7]
In October 2005, Coca-Cola increased its investment in Israel by
buying a 51 percent controlling interest in the Tavor Winery.[11]

Coca-Cola honored by Israel in Atlanta
The American Israel Chamber of Commerce and the Government of Israel
Economic Mission honored Coca-Cola and chairman Roberto Goizueta at
the Israel Trade Award Dinner in Atlanta on May 29. Goizueta has
worked for Coca-Cola since 1954, transferring to the Atlanta
headquarters in 1964. In 1980 he was elected president and chief
operating officer.
Coca-Cola has served the Israeli market for 30 years, refusing to
abide by the Arab League economic boycott of Israel. For decades, this
cost Coca-Cola the opportunity to sell its products in Arab
countries.

Prior to 1992, Pepsi had backed the other horse, choosing to service
the lucrative Coke-less Arab markets in the boycott days. For its
decision to stay out of Israel (and thus itself avoid being placed on
the Arab League's blacklist), Pepsi faced continued criticism in the
United States. In certain circles it was considered politically
incorrect to be seen drinking Pepsi.
The Anti-Defamation League of the B'nai B'rith investigated claims
that Pepsi was participating in the boycott of Israel. U.S. law
prohibited American companies from taking part in this boycott, but
the law was vague, and outright violations were hard to pin down.
Nothing ever came of the investigations, and Pepsi was never placed on
the American government's list of violators.

On Tuesday February 19th 2002, Coca-Cola helped through a partnership
with the University of Minnesota, fund a pro-Israel propaganda lecture
given by Linda Gradstein. The event was cosponsored by zionist
organizations like Friends of Israel, and National Hillel.
Click here to see the leaflet for the event
Electronic Intifada have recently exposed Linda Gradstein for taking
payments from zionist organizations whilst claiming to be the
impartial Middle-east Correspondent for National Public Radio(NPR).

The Israeli government website (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) in its
timeline of key events in Israels history lists only six events for
the year 1966. One of the six acknowledges Coca-Cola's support for the
zionist state:
"Coca Cola announces its plans to open a plant to produce Coca Cola in
Israel, despite the Arab boycott"

On October 11th 2001, Coca-Cola World Headquarters hosted the American-
Israel Chamber of Commerce Eagle Star Awards Gala in which “Israeli
Company of the Year”, “Israeli Technology of the Year”, etc awards
were given out by Israel’s Economic Minister to North America. The
Coca-Cola Company was also the Platinum sponser of the whole event.
[6]
http://www.meitar.org.il/news/news.htm
Coca-Cola Israel is sponsering training programmes for its workers
from the immigrant communities, especially from the former Soviet
Union, who have not been brought up in the zionist "culture" and who
"often have difficulty integrating". The subject matter of the program
includes the Israeli-Arab conflict. The workers attend weekly meetings
where participants have to read and analyze texts. The organisation
running the program, Meitar, is also funded by the Jewish Agency, and
the Israeli Ministries of Education and Absorption.

Coca Cola to build plant on stolen Palestinian land
Coca-Cola, in return for millions of dollars in tax breaks from the
Israeli government, is to build a new plant in Israel on land stolen
from the Palestinians. The new plant will employ 700 israelis.
The land in question is Qiryat (Kiryat) Gat. Intel is already facing
possible legal problems for building its chip plant on the same stolen
land. The Kiryat Gat industrial park is built on the lands of the
village of Iraq Al Manshiya whose residents were ethnically cleansed
in 1949 in contravention of International law.

What else does Coca-Cola get up to?
Apart of its support for Israel what else does Coca-Cola get up to?
1. Double Standards - Coca-Cola Toxic in India
A Coca-Cola can bought in India is not the same as one bought in the
US or UK - in India it will contain over 30 times the EU limit for
pesticides and include banned substances blamed for birth defects and
cancer.
http://www.inminds.co.uk/boycott-news-0422.html
2. Coca-Cola accused of killing workers in Colombia
Trade unions around the world have launched a boycott of Coca-Cola
products, alleging that the company's locally owned bottlers in
Colombia used illegal paramilitary death squads to intimidate,
threaten and kill its workers

Coca-Cola increase investment in Israel
18 October 2005
Haaretz has reported that The Central Bottling Company (Coca-Cola
Israel) has bought the 51 percent controlling interest in the Tavor
Winery, furthering its ambition to have a holding in every sector of
the beverages business.
Central Bottling Company confirmed the report, which brings the soft
drinks company smack into the heady realm of wine making, though
refused to be drawn on the price paid.
For years the Central Bottling Company had been looking for a medium-
sized or big winery to buy and turn into a subsidiary.
Tavor Winery an Israeli company is based on occupied Palestinian land
at the foot of Mount Tavor, overlooking the Sea of Galilee.

I have a better idea. Boycott one Arab product; OIL! Boycott oil. Get
a car that runs on anything but oil. Get solar panels for your house.
Let's impoverish this Islamist shit once and for all so hopefully they
all starve - AND DON'T LET ANYMORE INTO THE WEST! If you want to save
Judeo-Christian, or at least Christian civilization, BOYCOTT OIL! Fuck
the ragheads and cameljockeys where they breathe! Let them drink the
fucking oil.

That's not gonna work for you hebes, garbageguz.
The day after the US decides they are no longer reliant on oil from the ME,
their support for Ersatz israel will come to a screeching halt.
Think before you gob off, stupid old man.
