Do they realize there’s still “Palestinians” in the “occupied Palestinian Territories?”

So to assuage their white guilt they’ll deny it to everybody and call themselves woke?

Morons. Racist, bigoted morons.

Good. The only place this will be noticeable is Ben+Jerry’s bottom line.

Ben and Jerry’s is owned by Unilever.

Unilever is in bed with the mullahs.

when I lose the license if I was the mfg I would update all packaging to: The Ice Cream formerly known as Ben and Jerrys and keep on making a product.

Ben and Jerry sold out to Unilever in 2000. Those two are only allowed to say or do what they want without financial consequence.
Unilever is the biggest ice cream maker in yhe world.
They own over 400 product lines, most of them not ice cream.
They own.Popsicle, Klondike, Breyers, pure leaf...
They are headquartered in London...
This move is plain ole virtue signaling. They will probably start selling and opening up more of their products in islamoworld. Bucks are bucks y’know.
There are many ice cream makers....who cares what unilever does..

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.

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!

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.

The so-called "Occupied Palestinian Territories" means Gaza and the West Bank. If you read the article itself, Ben & Jerry's says this:

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".

Ben & Jerry’s is an expensive brand. I doubt its the “go to” brand for the average Pali.

After much debate, by the late-1980s, the United States, the United Kingdom, and 23 other nations had passed laws placing various trade sanctions on South Africa. A disinvestment from South Africa movement in many countries was similarly widespread, with individual cities and provinces around the world implementing various laws and local regulations forbidding registered corporations under their jurisdiction from doing business with South African firms, factories, or banks.

Look how that is turning out!

So, who is hurt?

Palis or Israelis?

I never buy Ben and Jerry’s so they could never hurt me.
