Global boycott movement targets Coca-Cola, Pepsi for fueling Israel’s genocide in Gaza

As Israel’s relentless genocide in Gaza claims over 52,000 Palestinian lives, including countless children, a powerful global boycott movement is rising to hold corporate giants Coca-Cola and Pepsi accountable for their complicity.
The campaign, erupting across X, Instagram, and TikTok, calls on people of conscience to reject these brands, whose financial ties to Israel’s economy and operations in occupied territories directly support the Zionist regime’s brutal war crimes.
Palestinian rights activists denounce Coca-Cola’s bottling plants in illegally occupied lands and PepsiCo’s deep economic links to Israel as lifelines for an apartheid state that massacres, starves, and displaces Palestinians daily. “Every purchase of their products funds bombs dropped on Gaza,” a viral campaign post declares, urging consumers to act as Gaza endures one of its darkest chapters, with thousands buried under rubble and aid deliberately blocked.
The boycott, rooted in the legacy of South Africa’s anti-apartheid struggle, is a desperate cry for justice amid corporate silence and global inaction. Supporters are flooding social media with graphics and testimonies exposing how these companies profit while Palestinian families grieve. “Boycott Coca-Cola. Boycott Pepsi. Every refused bottle is a stand against ethnic cleansing,” one activist’s post reads, resonating with millions.
This summer, people of conscience are invited to boycott these brands as an act of resistance, remembrance, and resolve. The call is clear: do not let your money feed bombs, bloodshed, and ethnic cleansing. Choose instead to stand with Gaza, where hope clings to every act of international solidarity.
