[TIMESOFISRAEL] Ice cream brand Ben & Jerry's alleged in a lawsuit filed Wednesday that parent company Unilever has silenced its attempts to express support for Paleostinians in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas
..the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...war, and threatened to dismantle its board and sue its members over the issue.
The lawsuit is the latest sign of the long-simmering tensions between Ben & Jerry's and consumer products maker Unilever. A rift erupted between the two in 2021 after Ben & Jerry's said it would stop selling its products in what it termed ''Occupied Paleostinian Territory'' because it was inconsistent with its values, a move that led some investors to divest Unilever shares.
The American ice cream maker then sued Unilever for selling its business in Israel to its licensee there, which allowed marketing in the West Bank and Israel to continue. That lawsuit was settled in 2022.
In its new lawsuit, Ben & Jerry's says that Unilever has breached the terms of the 2022 settlement, which has remained confidential. As part of the agreement, Unilever is required to ''respect and acknowledge the Ben & Jerry's independent board's primary responsibility over Ben & Jerry's social mission,'' according to the lawsuit.
''Ben & Jerry's has on four occasions attempted to publicly speak out in support of peace and human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
,'' according to the lawsuit. ''Unilever has silenced each of these efforts.''
