No, Coca-Cola is not Israel's company.
The Coca-Cola Company is a U.S. multinational headquartered in Atlanta, publicly traded on the NYSE. It operates via independent local franchisees worldwide. In Israel, that's the privately owned Central Bottling Company (Coca-Cola Israel), which manufactures and distributes products there—including in the Atarot Industrial Zone in East Jerusalem (a disputed settlement per BDS/WhoProfits reports). Coca-Cola itself denies owning the franchisee or directing profits to any military.
It also has a separate Palestinian bottler in Gaza/West Bank.
Today I decided to download the Ayatollah Khomenei's manual of Islamic law, the Tahrir al-Wasilah.
Page 229, Volume 3: ''Intercourse with a woman is not allowed unless she attains the age of nine years, regardless whether the marriage is permanent or temporary. There is, however, no objection in other sexual enjoyments like touching lasciviously, hugging and rubbing the thighs, even with a suckling infant.''
Congratulations to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, now entering the 21st year of his 4 year term.
Here is a picture of his modest home. Built with at least $13M of international funding. A real man of the people.

I didn’t see it firsthand, but after seeing Namjoon’s remarks, I was honestly pretty shocked, especially as a former Big Hit employee. When an artist makes such a deliberate, no-holds-barred statement like that, it usually means internal issues have been piling up for a long time.
When the members chose to enlist individually rather than all at once, there should already have been a full plan laid out, enlistment periods, post-discharge schedules, everything. Some of that would have already been in motion. To be honest, from the company’s perspective, they probably wished all seven would just enlist together, but they simply couldn’t come to an agreement.
The moment everyone completed their service should have been the starting point… the time to immediately roll out aggressive promotions and start building toward a world tour. Instead, at the same time:
– The NewJeans and former CEO Min Hee-jin issues kept erupting
– The chaos around Bang’s IPO-related prosecutorial investigation
– Heavy marketing pushes to launch and elevate rookie groups like Cortis
With all of that happening simultaneously, and given that the company, no matter how big it’s become, doesn’t really function properly without final approval from the chairman, BTS probably felt like they were constantly being pushed to the back.
From the company’s point of view, those seven are still the founding members and the very backbone of the company, and they still need to be the ones generating revenue. But from what I know, a lot of the employees who actually knew how to do the work properly have already left, leaving behind only executives busy playing political games… so, honestly, who knows.
