| Unilever asks US judge to dismiss Ben and Jerry’s lawsuit against West Bank sales |
| 2022-12-04 |
It isn’t customary to think of hard-eyed, cynical corporate lawyers as naifs, but clearly Unilever’s legal team fell very short on this one — something that will never, ever be allowed to happen again. [IsraelTimes] Parent company says ice cream maker’s ’insistence on taking sides in the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict’ is untenable, argues it has no authority to file lawsuitUnilever, the parent company of Ben & Jerry’s, has asked a US judge to dismiss a lawsuit from the ice cream maker as a court battle over its attempt to boycott Israeli settlements drags on. The UK conglomerate argued in a Friday court filing that Ben & Jerry’s had overstepped its bounds with the attempted boycott last year and its lawsuit against Unilever. |

| #7 So, we need to hold Israel and other First World countries to the same standards that we hold Third World shitholes? One set of rules for me another set of rules for thee. Right. |

| #6 So, we need to hold Israel and other First World countries to the same standards that we hold Third World shitholes? Seriously? If we did hold Israel to those standards, Israel would be being sanctioned and embargoed like we do Yemen, Russia, Iran, Venezuela and all the others. |

| #5 If they (I hate X, Y or Z, but I'm not antisemitic) have to explain themselves, they have already lost. |

| #4 criticism if Israel is not anti-Semitism. Of course. But holding Israeli to standards vastly more stringent than any other country on the planet demonstrates hatred of the Jews. In this case, for instance, Ben&Jerry’s has no problem with the thirty-five other countries where they do business, including the United Arab Emirates, Mexico, and, until recently, Russia. |

| #3 unjust policies toward Paleostinians I fully support being unjust to bastitches who hate you. I am a tad disappointed Israel hasn't gone total Xinjiang on them yet. And the guilt whores of the international community, crying for paleostinian mohamed lickers, they are the biggest obstruction in the way. |

| #2 The ice cream maker’s decision to boycott settlements sparked uproar in Israel and among some US Jewish groups. Critics of the settlement boycott have argued it is antisemitic because the company has never attempted to boycott any other region of the world. For the seven millionth, four hundred and eighty-seven thousandth, nine hundred and first time, criticism if Israel is not anti-Semitism. But I see why they constantly tie the two together: they want to get off scot-free for their crimes. |

| #1 The Jewish founders of Ben & Jerry’s, who no longer run the company, have said Unilever "usurped their authority" by spinning off the Israel branch. |
