We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). We also hear and recognize the concerns shared with us by our fans and trusted partners.
We have a longstanding partnership with our licensee, who manufactures Ben & Jerry’s ice cream in Israel and distributes it in the region. We have been working to change this, and so we have informed our licensee that we will not renew the license agreement when it expires at the end of next year.

But where will all the Dead Heads in the Gaza Strip get their Cherry Garcia?
B&J were supporting BLM as far back as 2016, so I haven’t touched them in at least 5 years.
No Suicide Cherry Bomb? The horror...
I just sent B&J a nasty email. I’ve never eaten their overpriced garbage, but they don’t have to know that. What they now know is that it will never cross the threshold of my home based on their political position based on ignorance.
Italy is much closer and will be glad to sell more exquisite gelato to Israelis.
Fresh ingredients, no additives, and no self-righteous bull***t...
Local entrepreneurs will pick up the slack for the brains B&J lack.
OK- so HOW MUCH B&J ice cream has ever been sold in the so called Occupied Palestine Territory... Are you including this area as the Nation-State called Israel?
While you’re at it B&J-— explain why this is important since you are obviously anti-Israel like ALL Leftists in the AOC branch. And then, talk to your senator— Bernie the non-Jew, jew-”ish” Leftist Israel hater himself— cause he is who YOU support!
I also love their freshly squeezed fruit juices they sell in the old town. Yummy!
Great news. I’ll buy more shares of Blue Bunny.
Dear Ben and Jerry,
There are a lot of white people in Vermont.
Your company must have very few POC working for it.
Come to think of it, your product is used by and far mostly by white consumers.
You are racist.
Oh boo hoo. Such a terwibull loss. I am sure they will find another brand without the drama attached.
Probably have poor sales over there anyway … which is probably the real reason.
Ben & Jerry’s is a great example of a business that has achieved a critical mass. It can’t fail. By all rights, it should have went under years ago, as they’ve been hard left for decades. But like many other American businesses, they thrive despite their repeated SJW stunts.
What do I mean by critical mass? Well, they have so may customers, they can (and do) repeatedly tell specific groups not to buy their product, and yet still see massive profits. One of the reasons is because leftists are much more enthusiastic about supporting their people than conservatives. Second, conservatives tend to get upset at stories like this, and then go right out and buy a bucket of Ben & Jerry’s. Even if leftists are under half the population, that’s still a lot of humans spending money.
Look at the NFL. The NFL doesn’t want you domestic terrorists to watch their programming, or go to the games. They don’t want you, period, but you still go, you still religiously watch Sunday morning pregame, you still are infatuated with fantasy football. The NFL has critical mass too, they can’t fail despite a small decline in viewership, the train just keeps chugging along undaunted.
The left wins because they believe and actively support their ideals, no matter how much we ridicule and LOL them every day. Conservatives are basically the opposite. We cower under peer pressure and intense ridicule. We still support all the leftist business in this country. Actually, I think it’s impossible to escape and live in modern civilization, no matter how careful you are with spending at any business, some of that money makes its way into the pockets of the deep state.
Boycott Ben & Jerry’s all you like, it will never impact their bottom line. Critical mass.
We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). We also hear and recognize the concerns shared with us by our fans and trusted partners.... Although Ben & Jerry’s will no longer be sold in the OPT, we will stay in Israel through a different arrangement. We will share an update on this as soon as we’re ready.
So in the alleged interests of showing solidarity with Palestinians, Ben & Jerry will only make their ice cream available in Israel -- not in the places where most Palestinians live. It's laughable -- solidarity apparently means only doing business with your "enemies", not your "friends".
>>No Suicide Cherry Bomb? The horror...<<
b&j know how to put the hurt on.
Everything on the following that is inside the thick line in either yellow or gray:
>>What’s a “Palestine” ?<<
A Jordian.
According to the Bible, the Canaanites were there first. Or at least, before the Israelites.
Ben & Jerry’s is an expensive brand. I doubt its the “go to” brand for the average Pali.
