Boycott Coca-Cola -- Let This Company Know That You Condemn Its Participation In Anti-Semitism

March 15, 2007

Coca-Cola has been occupying and reaping the benefits from stolen property in Egypt -- property that was stolen from its Jewish owners, the Bigio family, by the Egyptian government. When the Bigios learned about Coca-Cola's plan to acquire an interest in their property, they repeatedly asked Coca-Cola to do the right thing and compensate them for their loss. But Coca-Cola has never offered them a penny. (For more details, see the ZOA's press release on March 9, 2007.)


Coca-Cola should be ashamed of its unfair and immoral conduct. The Company holds itself out as "more than a beverage company" -- it's a "corporate citizen of the world" that's supposed to "act in every instance with honesty, integrity, accountability and respect." Coca-Cola tells its employees to "never engage in behavior that harms the reputation of the Company. If you wouldn't want to tell your parents or your children about your action -- or wouldn't want to read about it in a newspaper -- don't do it."


Then why is the "Coca-Cola Bottling Companies of Egypt"
operating on the property of Jewish victims of anti-Semitism?


Please Take Three Simple Steps To Get Coca-Cola To
Live Up To Its Own Credo And Compensate The Bigios For Their Loss.


1. Tell Coca-Cola That You Don't Support Companies That Participate In And Benefit From Anti-Semitism.

Write to: E. Neville Isdell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
The Coca-Cola Company
P.O. Box 1734
Atlanta, GA 30301

and/or e-mail Coca-Cola at:
www.CokeFeedback.com and [email protected]

and/or call Coca-Cola at: 1-800-GET COKE (438-2653)


Sample message:

    Dear Mr. Isdell,

    I condemn Coca-Cola's treatment of the Bigio family, whose property was stolen from them by the Egyptian government in 1962, in a campaign of anti-Semitism. Knowing this, Coca-Cola nevertheless acquired an interest in the Bigios' property -- which is now being occupied by the "Coca-Cola Bottling Companies of Egypt" -- and has refused to compensate the Bigios for their loss.

    I will not buy Coca-Cola products until you right the wrong that's been perpetrated against the Bigio family. No company that prides itself on a reputation of honesty, integrity, accountability and respect, should be participating and benefiting from anti-Semitism.

2. Boycott Coca-Cola Products! There are many, including A&W, Bacardi Mixers, Canada Dry, Crush, Dasani, Dannon, Dr. Pepper, Fanta, Fresca, Fruitopia, Hi-C, Horizon, Joy, Minute Maid, Nescafe, Nestea, Nature's Own, Schweppes, Seagrams, Sprite and TaB. For a complete list, go to http://www.thecoca-company.com/brands/brandlist.html.

Your Activism Will Send A Message That Decent And Fair-Minded People Won't Stand Idly By When Companies Act With Impunity Against Innocent People.

It seems like everything in this world can be measured by if it is good for the Jews. Is this scenario good for the Jews??

[Trumpeldor]

I don't like the taste of Coca-Cola. But I love Pepsi.

I'm pretty sure Coca-Cola will be marked Kosher for Passover this year.

[Trumpeldor]

I think The Arabs used to boycott Coca-Cola because it did business in Israel. Pepsi never got to Israel until after The Madrid "Peace" Talks. The only positive thing from "The Peace Process" was the introduction of new American brands restaurantts into Israel. Before I ate kosher, I used to like Burger King in The United States. But now I can go to kosher Burger Kings in Israel. The same with Kentucky Fried Chicken. I know Chaim wouldn't like it though for health reasons. He might also say we shouldn't copy off of America. But I know religious American Jews love that when when they go to Israel, they can have all the fast food that they can't have in America.

I think Chaim would argue that American restaurants going into Israel is a bad thing because it's globalization.
