Less than 24 hours after receiving the news that Ben & Jerry's had announced they would not allow their ice cream to be sold in Judea & Samaria, what they called "occupied Palestinian territory,” there has been a grassroots backlash against this company in Jewish neighborhoods around the world.. Both the Israeli TV and social media channels are reporting that Israelis are boycotting B&J's ice cream, and had to be told by the government that in Israel,one should continue purchasing it to try to save the local manufacturing plant which had been told its contract would not be renewed.
The trending emoji in Israel today are photographs of cartons of B&J in trash cans, thrown out by protesting consumers.
You boycott us. We boycott you, is the new motto.
This ice cream company achieved something that Israelis thought impossible following the recent fractious national election. Ben & Jerry succeeded in uniting Benjamin Netanyahu with his political rivals Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid in a coalition against this ice cream brand.
Following the announcement that they would remove their products from the "territories", Bibi tweeted, "Now we Israelis know which ice cream NOT to buy."
Yair Lapid called the decision, "a disgraceful capitulation to anti-Semitism and the BDS movement.”
Lapid, as Foreign Minister, said he would appeal to the 30+ US states that have anti-boycott laws to retaliate....

Yea, that seemed weird to me - they’re going to ‘punish’ Israel by denying Arabs their brand of ice cream.
Regardless, it’s GREAT to see those assholes getting hammered.
It began in 2018 when someone at the company allied with racist Arab Linda Sarsour....
I don’t need to boycott Ben and Jerry’s. Plenty of competition that is just as good, if not better and cheaper as well. B&J is way overpriced so I never buy it anyways.
Not gonna say it...not gonna say it.
(THAT should start some fun, eh?)
They sure will love the Man of Lawlessness
From the story “..Ben & Jerry’s had announced they would not allow their ice cream to be sold in Judea & Samaria, what they called “occupied Palestinian territory,”...”
B&J is not refusing to sell in Israel - just the “occupied Palestinian territory”.
That is the reason for the boycott in the rest of Israel.
I would have to say that B&J has now officially been “cursed by Israel”
... if anyone understands what that means.
I hear they’ll be selling Push the Jews Into the Sea Salt and Caramel to the Palis.
So the owners of Ben & Jerry ice cream can refuse to sell their product to someone but a baker in Colorado will go to jail for not baking a customized cake to queers?
Ben & Jerry introduce new “Push the Jews into the Sea Salt Carmel” ice cream.
It’s the alliance between Ben & Jerry’s extremist Oakland “progressive” Anuradha Mittal linked with racist Arab Linda Sarsour.

Palestinian workers have lost their jobs thanks to the decision by @benandjerrys today.
What sort of activist would be happy about this?
Someone who hates Jews SO much they’re willing to have their own brethren unemployed.
SICKO 👉🏻 #LindaSarsour https://t.co/G2zlvQtFGA https://twitter.com/StopAntisemites/status/1417273246005800966?s=20
.....I think I got some B&J ice cream many years ago, before I learned how far left-wing these two dipsh*ts are.... have not gotten any since..... here in The Lone Star Sate, Blue Bell ice cream, made in Brenham TX, is a favorite...

Just illustrates how upside down the world is.

Many believe that Vermont dwelling Ben and Jerry are queers and thus above criticism even though they are not black
Blue bell and Brahms for me
“I don’t need to boycott Ben and Jerry’s. Plenty of competition that is just as good, if not better and cheaper as well. B&J is way overpriced so I never buy it anyways.”
I prefer Blue Bell.
I may be one of the few people who has never tried Ben and Jerry’s and have no desire to. Haagen Dazs is fine with me.
