#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.

#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.

#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.

#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.

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

#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.

#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.
