News Anyone in London able to purchase this fine beverage?
‘Genocide-free’ cola makes a splash in the United Kingdom - offers its drinkers an ‘apartheid-free’ alternative as they boycott big-name brands ✊✊✊

You can buy it at the Hiba restaurants. Edit: I just learned it's a Palestine House product, based in Holborn and opening its doors soon.

They also have salaam cola, which I think I slightly preferred. Both are great though.

I've tried the Salaam Cola myself. It's pretty good. 👍

My prediction is that this guy will now be inundated with queries, including from US and other contract manufacturers, and it will go absolutely fucking gangbusters.

We have been using this in Canada.
I believe they are working on a diet option
Edit: NVM they got a diet version too! https://themeatheadstore.com/products/salaam-cola-diet-330-ml?pr_prod_strat=jac&pr_rec_id=13eaa84c6&pr_rec_pid=11318151577918&pr_ref_pid=11139279356222&pr_seq=uniform

It gives me a real buzz to see oppressed people appropriating hyper-dominant capitalist concepts and repurposing them for good.

Donate directly to charities working on the ground in Palestine.
This reeks of exploitation of tragedy.

Ehhh, that's a pretty cynical viewpoint.
Will the guy become corrupted by the money if it really goes off? Quite possibly.
But the intention, with ALL profits going specifically to Gaza seems pretty legit.

We have Palestine Cola in Berlin, it’s originally from Malmö

Got tons of Palestine Cola here in the local grocery shops in the Stockholm hood.

Does it come in diet?

u/dustydancers Sephardic Nov 24 '24
No it comes in liberation though

Oh my fucking GOD I wasn’t joking. For the last time, I’m asking because I’m pre-diabetic, you fucking assholes.

Sorry I cracked a joke on the internet, I really didn’t try to hurt you. Maybe buy these as gifts or buy a nice olive oil for yourself instead.. wishing and meaning you well bro/sis💌

I know, that was an overreaction. I’m sorry too. It just wasn’t funny with the first guy either

u/dustydancers Sephardic Nov 24 '24
No worries, thanks for having a healthy internet interaction with me 🫂

Doesn’t look like it. But I’m sure if you ask nicely…

The ones made in the West bank are, and are available everywhere....
Don't buy them.
edit, I was referring to coca cola having an illegal bottling plant in the west Bank. don't buy those one, get Gaza cola instead if you can.

u/Roy4Pris Zionism is a waste of Judaism Nov 23 '24
Wait, don’t buy what? Gaza Cola or the West Bank one?
As per the website, all profit is going to fund the rebuilding of a hospital in Gaza.

Boycott coca cola. not this one.

Yeah I know but some people need the diet soda if they’re going to drink soda . Not DC specifically but I can’t drink the ethical stuff either without a low sugar option. There are others though so I’ve been doing that
2
u/ImNotRealTakeYorMeds Nov 23 '24
I'm with you. I'd rather get water than a non diet soda, i do like water though, just don't want to add half a cup of sugar for a drink.
give them time to grow, it's hard making a product like that.

u/Adept_Thanks_6993 Orthodox Nov 23 '24
Oh totally. TBH Diet coke has been my lifeblood for approximately 15 years and I'm looking for a replacement for when I'm out, bc I don't drink coffee and I'm very picky about my tea. There is a diet soda I've gotten from halal carts in America but I can't remember the name

They used to have Palestinian Cola, but it died out in the late noughties. I think running Cola beverage campaign against Coca Cola is tough, because they can always put price you locally.

u/doesntaffrayed Anti-Zionist Nov 24 '24
At £12 a can, this reeks of scam.
Just donate directly to a charity that works with Palestinians on the ground.
