Ben & Jerry’s appears intent on destroying its bottom line not only in Israel, but here in the U.S., with its announced boycott of the so-called West Bank.
On Monday, the ice cream maker proclaimed it would no longer be selling in the “Occupied Palestinian Territory.”
“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,” the statement read in part.
“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,” the company added.
Well isn’t that big of them? At least some Israelis can continue to partake in Ben & Jerry’s.
Your values. Aren’t you guys just so warm and cuddley. Morons.
There are lots and lots of good, premium, and super premium ice cream brands and flavors for sale. There are several excellent creameries on Delmarva. You can easily make your own. So lots of great reasons to avoid buying anything produced with these nitwits on the label, now or in the future.
This particular brand, which had developed a following, was purchased by European mega brand Unilever some years back. The deal permitted the eccentrics who founded the company to have some continuing involvement which helped pave the way for this stroke of marketing genius.
They want to restrict sales? I’m on board for that. Since they’re now Woke, let ’em go Broke!
Pelosi wants that ice cream !!!!!
