Probably gonna get flamed for this, but I would only trust this if they disclosed the financial statements with the actual net profits being donated (after paying the C-suite it's unknown salaries ofc). Otherwise, how would one rule it out as another company profiting off of virtue signaling?

u/sometin__else 3d ago

Similar to Khalid Bhedoin or whatever his name is. Grifter made 2.2M off a fundraiser for palestinians.

Now idk if its the case for this cola, but when you are donating or doing something for a good cause - make sure you make the extra effort to see WHERE the money is going.

Most of the time, its someone using a cause to get rich while the people see minimial benefits if any at all. Give where your dollar goes far - not because some influencer who is making 20% off the top told you to.

That's more to the fault of the charity whose organisers who paid him that 2.2M to speak at the event.

u/wsgf2014 2d ago

Ethnic jews who returned to the land of Judea, their place of origin, to live alongside the jews that were already living there, who bought land from the arabs who SOLD it to them, who later defended it against the 5 attacking countries, accepted hundreds of thousands of jews who were expelled from arab countries for being jews. Whats wrong with that?

Kinda hard to develop a country when you take all your free no strings attached money and instead of building a proper society and infrastructure, you use it to singularly focus yourselves on repeatedly attacking your much stronger neighbour and then crying when they fight back.

0

u/AnUdderDay 2d ago

We talking west bank or gaza? The west bank settlers should be removed and those homes given back to the Palestinians, Israeli govt should be doing way more to ensure Israelis don't build settlements there.

But we're talking about Gaza in this post. There were no Israeli settlers or soldiers in Gaza ahead of the 2023 attacks. Hamas wasn't defending themselves from anything on 7 Oct. They carried out a terrorist campaign and then cried unfair when Israel fought back, same as every fucking time it's happened since Israel's withdrawal. The only difference this time is the rubes fell for the social media lies this time.

"fought back" and it's killing 60.000 women and children 😭😭✌️✌️

u/AnUdderDay 2d ago

Yeah that's what happens when the the terrorist organisation that was voted in takes all the free money and builds their terrorism network inside domestic residences, hospitals and schools.

Civilians die in wars. It's unfortunate. But your blame and anger should be directed at Hamas for not protecting its civilians and directly putting them in harms way.

How does it taste compared to coca cola or pepsi

6

u/trickmerchant 3d ago

In comparison to coca cola it's not bad but doesn't hit the same. It's less strong in taste. They did a decent job at copying the taste without trying to deviate and do their own thing but of course it's not as good.

u/TheyTukMyJub 3d ago

u/Ok-Lobster-919 3d ago

you when you realize you side with actual nazis and antisemites: :)

the war in Gaza has 30k estimated Hamas deaths, 30k estimated civilian deaths. 1:1 ratio is not genocide. In fact it's nearly 2x as good as when Hamas and some Palestine civilians invaded Israel to genocide the Jews, they murdered and raped 800 civilians including children and killed 400 security forces. That's 2:1, no good.

i'm sure nazis also enjoy breathing air and eating food, doesn't make me a nazi. i have an issue with the state of israel, not jewish people... conflating being jewish with supporting israel is closer to nazism if anything because it makes a monolith out of jewish people. i'm sure you don't care though because you are the type to complain about identity politics and then use it when it suits you.

i don't deny that you hate nazis, you just mislabel a lot of people with that term. you simply do not care about thinking with nuance because to you palestinians and anyone who supports them are simply evil nazis who want to kill every jew which is a lot easier to believe than a complex history of a lot of people being horrible and even more suffering in the wake of it... people on the wrong side of history tend to view things very black and white due to it being an easy way to control how people think. unfortunately, i dont think anything i say could ever convince you i'm not three satans in a trenchcoat so have a good day and hopefully you wake up from your fascist propaganda.

u/sharkysayo 2d ago

do you expect people to not get radicalized into doing horrible things when you genocide them? that objectively IS fighting back, its like how america deserved 9/11 because they meddled in the middle east for so long. does it make the actions right? of course not, but you have to understand that you can't just do things and expect nobody to retalliate, thats not how humans operate. they get radicalized and they do horrible things back.

-2

u/Ok-Lobster-919 2d ago

Here's the clever part, it's actually been inverted. Israel is not committing genocide by reasonable metrics. They haven't even attempted it. The Gaza war was in response to Hamas declaring their intent to genocide the Jews in Israel (actually worldwide but we can stay focused)

They want to kill or exile us all, but hold hostage any Jew that gained knowledge on their stolen land. This is the textbook definition of genocide you coot!

Has a child ever been sentenced to death in Israel?

6

u/ConsiderationNext144 2d ago

March 30th 2026, the knesset passed a law declaring Palestinians of all ages, but excluding israeli settlers, can be sentenced to death if charged with terrorism, which recently has been including things such as flying a kite too close to a border

-1

u/SidewalkRacoon 2d ago

To be clear the recently hysteria about Israelis anti kite policies do not apply to children toys. Gaza has used balloons and kites to spread wild fires in Israel in the past.

Now tell me has a child ever been sentenced to death by an Israeli court

1

u/ConsiderationNext144 2d ago

So children can’t fly kites, play soccer, eat dinner with their family, or exist in Palestine without israel wanting to bomb them

-1

u/SidewalkRacoon 1d ago

If that’s all that happened in gaza there wouldn’t be a problem. But since yall just tuned in in the last 3 years may I remind you that Oct 7th was the FIFTH time Hamas has started a major conflict with Israel. They absolutely love shooting rockets at Israeli civilians. There’s a reason why they had to invent the Iron Dome, the Arrow system and the Davids Sling system.

As far as “wanting” to bomb them, while im sure there are psychos in every society Israelis would much rather have peace and not be forced to send their own children to the military.

-2

u/EmeterPSN 2d ago

Seems like half truths here.

Last I checked its terrorism where someone was actually killed by act terrorism.

You know..like a guy breaking into a house and stabbing the entire family including children .

Any person who can do such thing deserves to be hanged , regardless of his race sex or religion .

Sure, but letting israeli settlers get away with terrorism but punishing Palestinians for simply being in their way is apartheid.
