A novel approach. It smells more than a bit of the tail wagging the dog...
[IsraelTimes] Ice cream maker files lawsuit in US federal court against agreement between Unilever and Ben & Jerry’s Israel, saying it violates acquisition deal and firm’s social mission.
Ben & Jerry’s filed a US federal lawsuit on Tuesday against its parent company, seeking to block an agreement with an Israeli firm that would allow sales of its product in the West Bank, as the legal battle over the ice cream maker’s attempted boycott of settlements continued.
The Vermont-based firm filed the civil suit in the US Southern District Court of New York against Conopco, the main US branch of Unilever, the parent company of Ben & Jerry’s.
The lawsuit argues that Unilever breached its acquisition deal with Ben & Jerry’s by announcing an agreement last week with the Israeli vendor that produces and distributes the ice cream in the country to continue sales in the West Bank, after the Ben & Jerry’s board said it was halting sales in "occupied Paleostinian territory" last year.
Unilever reached an agreement with Avi Zinger, the owner of Ben & Jerry’s Israel, and his company American Quality Products (AQP), giving it permanent independence to continue sales in Israel and the West Bank with the Ben & Jerry’s logos in Hebrew and Arabic, but not English. The boycott was set to come into effect at the end of 2022, when Ben & Jerry’s contracts with Zinger were due to expire.
Ben & Jerry’s is seeking an injunction to prevent the move, as well as damages from the agreement and all profits Unilever makes from it. Ben & Jerry’s had previously said it would no longer profit from sales in Israel.
The court denied a Ben & Jerry’s request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against Unilever’s agreement with Zinger.
In response to the lawsuit, Unilever told The Times of Israel it "had the right to enter this arrangement. The deal has already closed. We do not comment on pending litigation."
The board decided to file litigation against the move on Friday in a 5-2 decision, with its two Unilever appointees dissenting.
The lawsuit refers to sales in the West Bank only and does not refer specifically to settlements, Jerusalem or sales in Israel at any point.

As a subsidiary their parent corporation Unilever has a fiduciary responsibility to stop them from violating anti-BDS laws. Full stop. They do not have a license to commit felonies on Unilever's watch (or at least they need to be far less blatant!).

Seems to me that the board of directors and all the C*O are trying to get themselves out of a job.
I wouldn't want those people with a poor understanding of how to run a business in charge, I'll fire them all!
Beside, the "occupied Palestinian territory" doesn't exist, the Palestinians never had their own territory to begin with. It all belongs to Israel anyway.
[Khaama] Where else would I look for the Philosopher of the World™
But wait — there’s more!
According to the Taliban security officials, unidentified assailants killed Ibn-e-Sina private institute Director, the self-proclaimed “philosopher of the world”, Dr. Anwar-ul-Haq Jabbarkhail in Kabul’s Bagrami district.
The Taliban’s spokesperson for the Ministry of Interior, Abdul Nafi Takor, Dr. Jabbarkhail’s body was found in Kabul’s Bagrami district and brought to forensics for further investigation.
According to him, Dr. Jabbarkhail’s body was handed over to his family later on Tuesday, July 5.
According to Khalid Zadran, Taliban spokesman for the Kabul police chief, Dr. Jabbarkhail was mysteriously killed two days ago in Sayed Jamaluddin town, located in the Bagrami district of Kabul province.
While some public sources claim that Anwar-ul-Haq Jabbarkhail was shot to death by unidentified assailants, others claim that his beheaded body was discovered.
Why not both? That would be loads more mysterious than just one or the other.
Anwar-ul-Haq Jabbarkhail allegedly served as the director of a private hospital in Kabul, and recently, his contentious remarks have attracted a lot of attention on social media.
He had long referred to himself as the “philosopher of the world,” and some social media users have always criticized him for his multiple marriages and ridiculed his discussions of polygamy.

Of course, JJ. Why would I want Sørōs' phlegm spattered flunkeys dominating the Caucasus? Or crazed suicidal Europeans pushing some dead bohemian bastard's NWO bullshit this side of the world? Americans may not understand before it's too late, their polity has been a captive state to morons from both right and left for too long, but we in the east know. Russia was never their enemy as long as they push hegemonic agendas. Trump was the only one who understood and tried putting a stop to all that. BZZZt! Big mistake. Ousted.
The future does not contain psephocracies like the west is fond of. There are only authoritarian, militarized States run by committees or single leaders for life. They shall contend with the dominions of the globalists and hold out for quite long. Suffice to say, all of us shall probably be dead by the time the last pillars of sovereignty and the concept of 'nation states' itself fall, giving way to absolute tyranny. Putin is just one of the tough bastards standing in the way of the lickspittle 'liberal world order' that awaits the world.
[Garowe] Somalia is the main example that shows the importance The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... attaches to the economic development, social peace, and stability of the African continent, President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important... said Wednesday.

[AnNahar] Belgium's parliament on Wednesday approved a controversial prisoner-swap treaty with Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.... in a first reading of a text that still has to be submitted to a full vote to be ratified.
The treaty has been slammed by an Iranian dissident group, the National Council of Resistance® of Iran, as well as some U.S. politicians and Amnesia Amnesty International as paving the way for an Iranian diplomat placed in durance vile You have the right to remain silent... in Belgium on a terrorism conviction to be allowed to return home.
Belgian Justice Minister Vincent Van Quickenborne on Tuesday told MPs that unless the treaty was adopted, "the threat to our Belgian interests and certain Belgian citizens will increase".
He said Iran was already "illegally" holding captive a Belgian aid worker, Olivier Vandecasteele, 41, on trumped-up "espionage" charges.
The full parliamentary vote on the treaty, which was signed in March, is expected to take place on Thursday.
Tehran also holds a Swedish-Iranian academic, Ahmadreza Djalali, who taught at a Brussels university under the same charges, and has sentenced him to death.
The NCRI and Amnesty says they are the latest foreigners seized by Iran as leverage against Western countries.
Tehran is furious that Belgium last year placed in durance vile You have the right to remain silent... one of its diplomats, Assadollah Assadi, 50, after he was found guilty of criminal masterminding a thwarted kaboom on an NCRI event outside Gay Paree in 2018.
Assadi, who was convicted of attempted "terrorist" murder and "participating in the activities of a terrorist group", is serving a 20-year sentence which he declined to appeal.
Attached to Iran's embassy in Austria, he was arrested in Germany where his claim to diplomatic immunity was denied, and extradited to Belgium for his trial.
Belgian authorities had intercepted a car carrying a bomb made from explosives supplied by Assadi as it was on its way to the targeted NCRI event. They were informed by several European intelligence services of the plot.

Easier than enforcing the laws as promised to the citizenry, I s’pose.
[DW] Chancellor Olaf Scholz's government has begun to overhaul Germany's immigration system to allow more migrants colonists to stay in the country. Refugee rights organizations say the measures don't go far enough.
The German government is hoping to give over 130,000 migrants colonists trapped in legal limbo the chance to stay permanently, as part of an overhaul of Germany's immigration system.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz's government on Wednesday agreed on a package of reforms that will open the prospect of residency rights to people who have lived in Germany for more than five years with a so-called "Duldung," or tolerance status.

[Rudaw] Iran ...The nation is noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence... demands the immediate release of an Iranian national facing charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes in Sweden, the Iranian foreign minister told his Swedish counterpart on Tuesday.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on Tuesday spoke to his Swedish counterpart Anne Linde, during which both sides discussed the case of Iranian national Hamid Noury, Iranian state media reported.
The Iranian foreign minister "demanded the immediate release of Hamid Noury, an Iranian citizen, who is in jug on completely baseless charges of the hypocrite terrorist group."
Iranian national Noury, 60, is on trial for "committing grave war crimes and murder in Iran during 1988," Swedish prosecutors announced on July 27.
Noury had served as assistant to the deputy governor of Gohardasht prison in Karaj, near the Iranian capital of Tehran, when an estimated 5,000 prisoners were killed across the country, following an order from then Lord High Potentate and Supreme Leader of All He Surveys of Iran Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
On July 26, 1988 thousands of fighters with the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK), an Iranian opposition group that sided with Saddam Hussein’s regime in the Iran-Iraq war, crossed the border into Iran with the support of Iraq’s air force for Operation Mersad, the last major offensive of the conflict before a United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... ceasefire came into effect.
The Iranian government put prisons across the country on lockdown, and soon rumors spread around the country of prisoners killed and their bodies dumped into mass graves. Those killed had been locked away Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! for their opposition to the Iranian regime, including followers of MEK.
The Swedish court wrapped up its proceedings in May, with a verdict expected on July 14, however the proceedings have been criticized by the Iranian government, and Iran has taken what many call as retaliatory measures against Sweden.
Ahmadreza Djalali, a Swedish-Iranian national and an expert in emergency medicine, was arrested during an academic visit to Iran in October 2016 and subsequently sentenced to death the next year on spying charges.
Iran repeatedly claimed that Djalali spied for Mossad and said "his situation is absolutely clear ... his sentence is definite and the judiciary has announced that."
The spokesperson for the Iranian judiciary, Zabihollah Khodaian, had confirmed in May that Tehran will go ahead with the execution, ruling out the possibility of a prisoner exchange with Noury.
While Abdollahian met with Noury’s son on Tuesday, he raised concern over the Iranian national’s status in Swedish prison.
"He is not only kept in solitary confinement and does not have access to a doctor, but also to contact or meetings with the family are also severely restricted," Iranian state media reported Abdollahian as discussing.
However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... rights groups have raised concerns of dire treatment from Iran against foreign nationals.

Exactly what we would expect from the Biden administration, both the actions and the public claim.
[IsraelTimes] State Department contradicts IDF assertion that Israeli officials examined projectile, which was found to be too damaged to conclusively conclude who killed Al Jazeera journalist.
The United States said Tuesday that only experts on its own team examined the bullet that killed journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, after Israel claimed its own authorities had participated in the forensic analysis.
The Paleostinian Authority had reluctantly handed over the bullet to the United States and said it was not giving it to Israel, fearing a whitewash. But on Monday, the Israeli army said in a statement that Israeli experts had done forensic analysis on the bullet in a laboratory in the Jewish state.
This came two days after IDF front man Ron Kochav further fanned the flames by claiming after the bullet was transferred to the US embassy in Jerusalem that US officials would merely be observing the Israeli analysis of the bullet.
The IDF clarified in its Monday statement that the bullet remained in the possession of US authorities from the moment the PA transferred it to them on Saturday until it was returned on Monday. Nonetheless, Kochav’s comments led to criticism in Paleostinian circles that the analysis had been a joint US-Israeli venture.
On Tuesday, State Department front man Ned Price insisted that the examination was carried out by two members on the team of the US Security Coordinator (USSC), which liaises with the Paleostinian Authority and Israel on security assistance.
He did not identify the experts by name or nationality, noting that non-Americans were on the staff, but said they had "a combined 42 years of experience."
"Local experts, whether they were Israeli or Paleostinian, did not conduct the USSC examination of the bullet," Price said.
"The USSC had full custody of the bullet from the moment it was provided by the PA to the USSC until the moment it was returned by the USSC to the PA," he said.

Separated single story building where they are the sole occupant or they can expect Hamas to tunnel under them again.
Meh. If the building is on the ground, they can expect Hamas to already be tunnelled underneath. The only questions are whether they’ve taken offices upstairs and whether there will be a tunnel entrance in one of the closets or something.
[IsraelTimes] For second time in weeks, Moscow slams Israel for ’violating Syrian illusory sovereignty,’ says 2 civilians were maimed in strike and severe damage caused to civilian infrastructure.
Moscow on Monday condemned an alleged Israeli Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... near a Russian stronghold in Syria over the weekend, calling Israel’s years-long air campaign in Syria "categorically unacceptable" and demanding it cease. Moral Authority card was dishonored.
"We strongly condemn such irresponsible actions that violate the illusory sovereignty of Syria and the basic norms of international law, and we demand their unconditional cessation," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a statement.
The relatively rare daytime strike on Saturday targeted an area near the Syrian town of al-Hamidiyah, south of Tartus, which is home to Russia’s main naval base in the region. Two civilians were maimed and serious damage was caused to civilian infrastructure, Moscow said.
Syria has fingered Israel as responsible as well, though the IDF has yet to respond, in line with its policy of generally maintaining silence regarding specific actions in Syria.

:Heh: I remember a political cartoon showing a giant Russian commissar pointing at the Middle East at a bonfire centered on Israel while leaning forward and had a bloody hand clutching Hungary. 1956 vs. 2022, how little the Russian diplomacy changes.

Given the apparent coordination between Russia and Israel when it comes to blowing up Syrian stuff, I wonder how much of this is simply pro-forma diplomatic babble.
Just press F11 for the "We strongly condemn blah-blah blah and we demand their unconditional cessation" macro.
[AlAhram] Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady days of human sacrifice to Baal Moloch... hopes to start repatriating Syrian refugees within months over objections by the United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... and rights groups, a minister said in an interview Wednesday.
Lebanon has one of the world's highest numbers of refugees per capita and currently hosts over 1 million Syrians who fled the decade-old conflict. Officials say the influx has cost Lebanon billions of dollars and further damaged its crippled infrastructure.
``We are serious about implementing this plan and we hope to do so within months,'' Issam Charafeddine, Lebanon's caretaker Minister of the Displaced, told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named. ``This is a humane, honorable, patriotic and economic plan that is necessary for Lebanon.''
The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees and rights groups oppose involuntary repatriation to Syria and say the practice risks endangering the returning refugees.
The U.N. refugee agency in a press statement denied that it is engaged in negotiations with Beirut and Damascus on refugee returns.
``UNHCR continues to call on the government of Lebanon to respect the fundamental right of all refugees to a voluntary, safe and dignified return,'' the statement read.
The United Nations estimates that 90% of Syrian refugee households live in extreme poverty. But since late 2019, poverty has worsened for both Lebanese and Syrians as the Mediterranean country continues to struggle with crippling economic crisis. Sky-rocketing fuel prices coupled with a currency collapse has meant many essential commodities are now out of reach.
In recent months, a surge of Lebanese, Syrians, and Paleostinians have tried to flee cash-strapped Lebanon by sea to Europe.
The Lebanese minister on Monday presented the plan to President Michel Aoun ...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah... . A committee consisting of caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati, Charafeddine, six other ministers and the country's General Security organization had been working on the proposal since March to gradually return some 1.5 million Syrian refugees from Lebanon.
Charafeddine plans to visit Syria next week to meet Local Administration and Environment Minister Hussein Makhlouf. He hopes they will agree on a concrete timeline for the plan to repatriate 15,000 Syrian refugees every month. The minister says Maklouf had told him that the Syrian government could provide temporary shelter for repatriated refugees in areas that are ``entirely safe.''
``We have statistics from the Interior Ministry of the names of the displaced, where they live, and where they're originally from, and so we would return them by neighborhood,'' the minister said. He said Lebanon is willing to repatriate refugees in larger numbers if the Syrian government is able to receive them ``at a later stage''.
Human rights organizations in recent reports have documented cases of arbitrary detention, enforced disappearances, and a host of human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... violations against returning refugees.
Charafeddine rejected these reports as a ``fear campaign'' and said the Syrian government has agreed to drop charges against former opposition fighters and political opposition.
``I was surprised that the Syrian state has eased matters a lot for returns even when it comes to security matters - even those who held weapons will get waivers,'' Charafeddine told the AP.
The caretaker minister also criticized the UNHCR and donor countries for not being willing to redirect refugee aid to Syria, which he says deters refugees from returning.
``Whatever the UNHCR's position is, we will go ahead with the plan,'' he said.
[Rudaw] The northeast Syria (Rojava) administration on Wednesday announced a state of emergency in light of the continued Ottoman Turkish attacks that have targeted area, signaling to the Kurdish administration’s institutions to prepare the emergency plans to address the situation.
The administration’s general council held a meeting on Wednesday to address the "continuous threats" of The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... in the area, which have targeted civilians and civil service facilities, according to a statement from the council.
The meeting was concluded with announcing a state of emergency in the areas under the administration, urging the administration’s councils, bodies, committees, and institutions to make the necessary preparations appropriate for the current circumstances, and dedicating all capabilities "in service of the people from any hostile attacks."
Ankara often targets areas in northern Syria and Rojava.
Ottoman Turkish artillery shells targeted northern Syria’s Ain Issa district on Monday killing at least two and injuring two others.
Ankara launched its last military incursion in northern Syria in October 2019, which was followed by a deal between Turkey and Russia to drive Kurdish fighters 30 kilometers away from the Ottoman Turkish-Syrian border.
However, denial ain't just a river in Egypt... Turkey has recently renewed threats to carry out a new military operation against the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in northern Syria’s Manbij and Tal Rifaat towns in a bid to complete the 30 kilometer "safe zone" it began creating along its southern borders.
The administration’s statement accused Turkey of attempting to carry out demographic change in Rojava and creating a state of chaos and instability that would pave the way for "direct occupation of Syrian lands."
Ahmet Davutoglu, former Ottoman Turkish prime minister and leader of the Future Party in June responded to the claims that Turkey has attempted to carry out demographic change in Syria, stating that such an occurrence was not in the best interest of Turkey, as most of those who were displaced in Syria are now refugees in Turkey.

[Rudaw] The United States on Wednesday imposed a fresh wave of sanctions on Iran’s petroleum trade amid continuing efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear deal and ahead of Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage. The dumbass who abandoned Afghanistan.... ’s trip to the Middle East.
The US State Department said it was designating dozens of global entities and individuals linked to Iran's illegal petroleum trade which are funding Tehran with vast amounts of funds. The 15 sanctioned individuals and entities have "engaged in the illicit sales and shipment of Iranian petroleum," and are located in Iran, Vietnam, Singapore, the UAE, and Hong Kong, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced, adding that they "have supported Iranian energy trade generating millions of dollars' worth of illicit revenue."
The sanctions come a week after Tehran and Washington held a round of indirect and EU-mediated talks in Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... in attempts to restore the nuclear deal that yielded no result. The US said the negotiations made "no progress."
In the statement, Blinken also highlighted the talks, blaming Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.... for deterring the pathway of achieving a mutual return to the full implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
"It is Iran that has, to-date, failed to demonstrate a similar commitment to that path. Absent a change in course from Iran, we will continue to use our sanctions authorities to target exports of petroleum, petroleum products, and petrochemical products from Iran," he added.
Iran and world powers, including the US, have held talks for over a year aimed at reviving the 2015 nuclear deal, also known as the JCPOA. The Islamic republic has demanded that the US must lift its crippling sanctions, including on the IRGC, which Washington has placed on a terror blacklist.
Occurrences of the US imposing sanctions on networks backed by Iran are common.
Washington in May designated an oil smuggling and money laundering network backed by an elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) branch and the Russian government.
The US in January also seized a vessel transiting from Iran in the Gulf of Oman carrying kabooms. The ship was stopped along a route infamously used to smuggle weapons to the Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... s in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
