Coca-Cola, one of the most famous brands in the world, has found itself embroiled in controversy after quietly removing references to financial support for Black Lives Matter (BLM) from its official website. This action was after BLM expressed its support for the Hamas terrorists, responsible for the deaths of more than a thousand Israeli soldiers and civilians.
The multinational soda company used to tout its charitable donations to BLM proudly. However, it seems that The Coca-Cola Company is no longer so proud to help the movement that shared a post showing a photo of a paraglider with the text “I stand with Palestine.”
The image caused outrage because it was Hamas terrorists who used paragliders to cross the border between Israel and Gaza and massacre innocent people. Instead of standing up in protest against the publication, the multinational company preferred to silently remove references to their donations.
The Republican senator from Texas, Ted Cruz, was the one who posted the before and after photos of the Coca-Cola website on his X account.
“Coca-Cola deletes its support for BLM. One screenshot is of Coca-Cola’s website before BLM supported Hamas parachuting to kill Israeli civilians in a concert. The other is from this morning,” the senator shared, adding that editing the page is not enough.
“Americans demand an apology,” he commented.
CAUGHT RED-HANDED. @CocaCola deletes its support for BLM.
One screenshot is of @CocaCola's website before BLM supported Hamas parachuting into a concert to kill Israeli civilians.

Via social media, Cruz also shared a list of several companies that also supported the “Marxists who celebrated Hamas’s mass murder of Israelis.”
Fortune 500, Amazon, Sprite, DoorDash, DropBox, Warner Brothers and Microsoft are some of the other organizations the senator criticized.
Fortune 500 companies like @amazon, @CocaCola, @Sprite, @DoorDash, @Dropbox, @wbpictures, & @Microsoft, donated to BLM.
On Verdict, we name names and blast corporate America for standing with Marxists who celebrated Hamas's mass murder of Israelis.https://t.co/6w2OIRPJlB pic.twitter.com/URpbhqNUUC
