Ben & Jerry's to end sales in west bank
2021-07-20
[Jpost] ...Ben & Jerry's announced on Monday its plan to boycott West Bank settlements and Jewish neighborhoods in east Jerusalem, by refusing to allow its products to be sold in those areas.

"We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry's ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT)," the company stated in a notice it posted on its website....

"THERE ARE many ice cream brands, but only one Jewish state," said Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.

"Ben & Jerry's has decided to brand itself as the anti-Israel ice cream. This decision is morally wrong and I believe that it will become clear that it is also commercially wrong," he said.

The move gives a boost to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which for the last decade has targeted the global company that began in Vermont and is now owned by Unilever.
It is not clear from this and other articles on the story exactly what the position of Unilever is on this or, indeed, of Ben & Jerry’s contractually independent board of directors for social action despite all the words laid down in sentences and paragraphs that look like they ought to make sense. Lord Garth very sensibly left those words at the link for others to struggle with.

#17  I'm torn between Cherry Cordite and Rachel Corey And Cream. Tough choice!

We're laughing at that Babylon Bee thing, but there is a grain of truth there. If the Juice would throw themselves into the sea, the whole Arab vs Israel thing would be over. Then, the Arabs could get back to fighting each other like they have for the past whatever thousand years.

#15  Israel has some pretty decent domestic ice cream producers.

Better than that, it has inexpensive coffee smoothies.
