Looks like Ben & Jerry’s ice cream couldn’t stand up to the heat: Its misguided anti-Israel boycott is finally melting away, thanks to a new arrangement by B&J’s parent company Unilever.

The leftist dessert brand will now be sold throughout Israel and the West Bank under its Hebrew and Arabic names — effectively ending the boycott the company imposed on Israeli towns in the West Bank and parts of East Jerusalem in July 2021.

That move prompted heavy criticism from American consumers and led several states to implement sanctions — with one stockholder even suing Unilever. Now, after consultations with the Israeli government, Unilever has sold its Israeli rights to the ice-cream label to local franchisee Avi Zinger, which will allow for the sale of its products without Unilever’s direct involvement

Scenarios like this need to be taught in Business Administration 101. Get woke go broke. So they're back in Israel, BIG DEAL. Still wouldn't eat that overpriced frozen swill.

Very overpriced diabetic-creating ice cream.

Nope.

Woke ice cream from a soap company.

For the cost, you should expect way better.

Go back to the debacle of Snapple when they sold out to Quaker Oats and they basically almost destroyed the brand because of their smugness and stupidity, biggest mistake they made was to quit advertising on Rush Limbaugh’s Show.

Does Ben & Jerry’s still have dioxin in it?

Rarely buy it, but it really is about the best ice cream out there. They do not aerify it like most of the other makers do from what I can tell. A pint of Ben and Jerry’s weighs more than the others.

I really enjoyed it, too, but when they started supporting Black Lives Matter in 2016, I quit them.

I’ll take my Blue Bell when I splurge on ice cream.

The same here. Never, even remotely, considered to touch it.
