Coca Cola

A detailed account of Coca-Cola's links to Israel is provided here:

http://www.inminds.com/boycott-coca-cola.html

A summary:

From 1966 Coca-Cola has been a staunch supporter of Israel. In 1997 the Government of

Israel Economic Mission honored Coca-Cola at the Israel Trade Award Dinner for itscontinued support of Israel for the last 30 years and for refusing to abide by the ArabLeague boycott of Israel.

Every year Coca Cola bankrolls the American-Israel Chamber of Commerce Awards whichhonors companies that have contributed most to the Israeli economy. In 2009 a Coca-Cola sponsored award went to Israels Lobby AIPAC for its successful lobbying of theSenate to reject of the UN call for "immediate ceasefire" and endorse the continuation ofthe Israel military assault on Gaza.

In 2008 Coca-Cola tasked the Israeli venture capital Challenge Fund to locate suitableinvestments in Israel with a promise of "a blank cheque . This agreement is exceptionalin the Israeli venture capital industry.

In 2009 Coca-Cola hosted a special reception at the Coca-Cola world headquarters to

honour Brigadier-General Ben-Eliezer. Ben-Eliezer is a wanted war criminal, during theSix-Day War his unit was responsible for the execution of over 300 Egyptian POWs.Under Sharon, Ben-Eliezer served as Defence Minister presiding over the massacre atJenin.

For the past two decades, nearly every year, Coca-Cola has sponsored the JCC MaccabiGames whose stated aim is to cultivate Jewish youth in an informal setting to "encouragetheir identification with the state of Israel". As part of this, Coca Cola has sponsoredyoung children to visit Israeli military bases and spend time with war criminals in order toengender empathy, in their own words "visit an air force base.. talk with the pilots thatare the elite Israel Defense Force units..meet fighters of the army.".

Coca-Cola Israel, Israel's third largest food & beverages company, owns dairy farms inthe illegal Israeli settlements of Shadmot Mechola in the Jordan Valley and a plant in the

industrial zone of Katzerin in the occupied Golan Heights.

Eden Springs

Eden Springs is an Israeli water cooler company that in Israel steals water from theSalukia spring in the the illegally occupied Syrian Golan Heights. This is in violation of UNresolution 242 and Article 55 of the Hague Regulations which specify that you cannotacquire territory by war and that you cannot plunder the natural resources of occupiedterritory. To clarify, the water in Eden Springs Coolers found in the UK is sourced locally,

but the profits go back to Israel to finance its illegal activities.

Sodastream

SodaStream is an Israeli company manufacturing and distributing home carbonatingdevices and flavorings for soft drinks. The companys main plant is located in the

industrial zone of Mishor Edomim which is an illegal Israeli settlement in the West Bank.Kav LaOved, the NGO committed to protecting the rights of disadvantaged workers inIsraeli companies, has reported that SodaStream factory workers, in particularPalestinians, are paid less than half the minimum wage and has described the workingconditions in the factory as "one of the worst", with workers being fired if they complainof the conditions.SodaStream brands include: SodaStream, Soda-Club, AlcoJet, Sprudelino, Aquabar,Gazoz, Aquafizz, Aquabubbler, Penguin, Sodamaker, Fountain Jet and Edition1.

Starbucks


9/18

Howard Schultz, the founder, chairman, president and chief executive officer ofStarbucks who also owns 31.6 million shares of Starbucks stock (worth around $1.4billion in Nov 2011) is an active zionist.

In 1998 he was honoured by the Jerusalem Fund of Aish HaTorah with "The Israel 50thAnniversary Friend of Zion Tribute Award" for his services to the zionist state in "playing

a key role in promoting close alliance between the United States and Israel". The ultra-right wing Jerusalem Fund of Aish HaTorah funds Israeli arms fairs chaired by thebutcher of Jenin, General Shaul Mofaz, and the zionist media pressure grouphonestreporting.com, they were also implicated in the production and distribution of theinfamous islamophobic film 'Obesession'. Starbucks proudly displayed the award on thecompany's website under the section of 'awarda and accolades' the Starbucks companyhas won, however, once the boycott started to bite the award mysteriously disappearedfrom its website.

Howard Shultz work as a propagandist for Israel has been praised by the Israeli ForeignMinistry as being key to Israel's long-term PR success. On April 4th 2002, whilst theIsraeli army was slaughtering Palestinians in Jenin Howard Shultz made a provocativespeech blaming the Palestinians, suggesting the intifada was a manifestation of anti-

Semitism, and asked people to unite behind Israel. Starbucks also sponsors fund raisersfor Israel.

At a time when other businesses were desperately pulling out of Israel, Starbucksdecided to help Israel's floundering economy and open Starbucks in Israel. The venturefailed but Shultz has vowed Starbucks will return to Israel in due course.

Starbucks has opened outlets in US bases in Afghanistan and Iraq, and at the illegaltorture centre in Guantanamo Bay. Customer Relations say "Starbucks has the deepestrespect and admiration for U.S. military.. who risk their lives to protect Americans andour values of freedom and democracy". Petty Officer Barry Tate who is serving inGuantanamo Bay agrees that Starbucks is helping "lift the morale" of the guards andinterrogator's at Guantanamo Bay.

McDonald's

McDonald's Corporation is a major corporate partner of the Jewish United Fund andJewish Federation. According to the Jewish United Fund, through its Israel Commission it"works to maintain American military, economic and diplomatic support for Israel;monitors and, when necessary, responds to media coverage of Israel". The Jewish UnitedFund also runs "Fun-filled Summer Family Missions to Israel" where families get to "visitan army base and meet with Israeli soldiers" and "visit our sister city, Kiryat Gat and seethe important work we are doing there". Kiryat Gat is built on stolen Palestinian land -the lands of the villages of Iraq Al Manshiya and Al-Faluja whose residents wereethnically cleansed in 1949 in contravention of International Law. Through its"Partnership to Israel" programme, the Jewish United Fund provides $1.3 million annually

to help further settlement and development of Kiryat Gat. The Jewish Federation,through its Israel Action Network is tasked to fight "efforts to boycott Israeli products"and "campaigns, such as equating Israel with apartheid South Africa".


10/18

Another way McDonald's supports the Jewish United Fund is by running a partnershipscheme whereby they will match any donation an employee make to the Jewish UnitedFund with its own equal size donation.

McDonald's first restaurant in the Middle East was in Israel, opened in 1993, since then ithas 160 restaurants in Israel (1996) with a 60% market share, employing around 4000Israelis. Since April 2009 McDonald's has also opened 15 branches of McCafe chain in

Israel, with plans to open 10 new branches every year.McDonalds discriminates against its Arab workers, in 2004 it sacked an Arab worker inIsrael because she was caught speaking arabic to another Arab employee. Arabic, alongwith Hebrew, is the official language of Israel spoken by 20% of the population.

According to the American Jewish Committee (AJC), whose Executive Director "regularlymeets with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu", McDonald's in July 2001immediately pulled an advertising campaign in Egypt when the ADC contacted them tocomplaint that the singer featured in the advert had in the past performed a song criticalof Israel. Within 24 hours of the complaint, the advert was cancelled and according to theEgyptian franchise of McDonald's "all copies of the tapes were whisked 'back to the mainoffices'"!

Israeli Fresh Produce

In 2010 exports of Israeli fresh agricultural produce was worth $1.41 billion and most ofit, some 87% was exported to Europe (UN Commodity Trade Statistics). Fruit, vegetablesand herbs grown in Israel and on its settlements in the West Bank can be seen on sale atall the major supermarkets and greengrocers. Always check the label - avoid Israel andWest Bank.

Until recently the main player was Israeli state owned company Carmel Agrexco,responsible for about 60-70% of all Israels agricultural exports. But in September 2011Agrexco went bankrupt. This was due in part to fact that Agrexco has been the target ofa sustained international boycott campaign. It has been recently reported that the IsraeliBickel Export Group has acquired Agrexco with plans to revive it in 2012 (target sales 50million euros).

With the privately owned Israeli company Mehadrin Tnuport Export (MTEX) set to takeAgrexcos place as Israels biggest agricultural exporter the focus of the internationalboycott campaign is now firmly on MTEX with actions already having taken place (Nov2011) outside its UK headquarters in Borehamwood and its French headquarters inChateaurenard.

MTEX is Israels largest grower and exporter of citrus fruit responsible for 65% of

overseas sales of Israel's most recognisable brand on the supermarket shelves - JAFFA.They supply most of the supermarkets including Tesco and Sainsburys. MTEX ownes 50%of Miriam Shoham Ltd whose mangoes and pomegranates are available in Tescos andAsda.

Hadiklaim, the Israeli Date Growers Cooperative, which includes illegal settler plantationsin the Jordan Valley, sells 65% of all Israeli dates. Its dates have brand names KingSolomon, Jordan River, Tamara, Karsten Farms / Kalahari and Bomaja. Agrexco datebrands include Jordan Plains and Jordan Valley.

Most supermarkets sell fresh herbs sourced from the illegal Israeli settlements on theWest Bank. These include basil, sage, chives, rosemary, parsely, sorrel, marjoram, mint,thyme and tarragon. They are labelled 'West Bank' or 'Israel'. 'West Bank' never refers toPalestinian goods as they don't make it past the military checkpoints. Often settlementsgoods are labelled 'Produce of Israel' to avoid payment of tariffs when entering the EU -according to the EU-Israel Association Agreement goods produced outside the recognisedborders of Israel (ie on the Israeli settlements on the Palestinian Occupied Territories)are not exhempt from import duties. A July 2008 Channel 4 news report revealed herbsgrown on the illegal No'omi settlement on the West Bank, destined for the UK, werebeing mislabelled 'produce of Israel' in breach of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.

Other Israeli fresh produce brands to avoid include Edom (peppers, tomatoes andmangoes), Carmy (sweet potatoes), AdaFresh (herbs), Arava (peppers, Tomatoes, herbs)and Tali (table grapes).

..Information on other companies to follow shortly..

[Jubilee Award]On October 14, 1998, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu presented a select group of international businesspeople with the highest tribute ever awarded by the "State of Israel". The Jubilee Award, marking Israels fiftieth year of

Frequently Asked Question

Why so many companies?

Our strategy is to have a focused campaign where individual Israeli companies aretargeted wherever possible rather than wide boycotts of whole stores. This means thatwhilst there are more brands on the list, they are actually easier to boycott. So forexample whilst B&Q and Homebase are major sellers of Israeli plastic giant Keter'sproducts we are calling for a focused boycott of each Keter related brand - OutStanding,Lipski, Jardin, Allibert, Curver and Contico, rather than a blanket boycott of these stores.

Why are some of the brands in the previous Boycott

Israel Campaign missing from this campaign?

Over time many companies have reconsidered their support for Israel and some havedivested from Israel due to many reasons including the accumulated pressure of theboycott. These changes are reflected in the new card.

Disney

Disney, working with the Israeli embassy, was given 1.8 million dollars by Israel topromote Jerusalem as the capital of Israel at a special exhibition at its Epcot centre inFlorida, strategically positioned so that every visitor to the centre would have to walkthrough the exhibition in order to reach the exit. Jerusalem is an illegally occupiedPalestinian city and under international law can NEVER be the capital of Israel. Theexhibition has since been removed so Disney is no longer on the boycott list.

Sara Lee

Sara Lee has divested its large stake in the Israeli textile giant Delta Galil so it along withits two dozen plus brands have all been removed from the boycott list.

Nokia

Nokia Ventures Organization which had so heavily invested in Israel is no longer part ofNokia and is now called BlueRun Ventures and has many investors now. Note that Nokiais still one of its investors, but its stake in Israel is now no more prominent thancountless other technology companies who are not on the boycott list, so Nokia has alsobeen removed from the list.

Arsenal FC

Following a concerted campaign, Arsenal Football Club's contract with the Israeli Tourismboard to promote Israel as the teams "official and exclusive travel destination" on itsdigital perimeter boards (to an estimated 700 million viewers in 198 countries) was notrenewed. Subsequently, Arsenal FC has been removed from the boycott list. Note that

Arsenal still runs 'Arsenal in the Galilee' coaching project in Israel.


14/18

Selfridges

Selfridges flagship store in London was picketed for stocking a range of settlementproducts including Ahava and soon a boycott of the store followed. It no longer sellsAhava Dead Sea products on its website, although it does advertise Estee Lauder Origins'body scrubs' which include Dead Sea salts. As part of our strategy of a more focusedboycott campaign where individual Israeli brands like Ahava are targeted, Selfridges inno longer on the boycott list.

Danone

Whilst Danone is still on the boycott list, it has gone through some changes and lostsome of its famous brands and these are no longer on the boycott list. Jacob biscuits isnow owned by United Biscuits; HP foods and Lea & Perrins is now owned by H.J. Heinz;and similarly Galbani and LU Biscuits are also no longer owned by Danone.

What is the Boycott Israel card and how can I getone?

The Boycott Israel card is a handy sized card listing the companies that give support toapartheid Israel. The card is designed to be carried in your wallet or purse so that whenyou are out shopping you know what products to avoid.

Over the past 10 years, in conjunction with the Islamic Human Rights Commission(IHRC), we have published many versions of the Boycott Israel card. They began withcredit card size to the now familiar A7 size, each version has seen many, many printruns, with perhaps a total distribution in excess of one million cards worldwide. Thislatest version was launched on 2nd December 2011.


15/18

729 Israeli Barcode?

It has been suggested that one way to identify Israeli products is to look at the barcode.

The first 3 digits of the EAN 13 digit barcode indicates the country in which the barcodewas assigned, barcodes assigned in Israel start with the number 729. UnfortunatelyIsraeli products can still be assigned barcodes outside of Israel, for example a UKcompany selling Israeli products may assign UK barcodes to it. The two examples belowshow an Israeli Keter product rebranded Homebase which has retained the Israelibarcode (729), and a Tivall product which has been produced and packed in Israel forTesco - yet it has acquired a UK barcode (500). So whilst a 729 barcode is a goodindication that the product has been made by an Israeli company, not all Israeli goodshave 729 barcodes.
