Ben & Jerry's Freezes Ice Cream Sales in Israeli Settlements
Vermont-based company says Ben & Jerry's ice cream will stay in Israel through a different arrangement, but won't be sold in the 'occupied Palestinian territories'
7/19/2021
"Ben & Jerry's announced Monday that it would end sales of ice cream in the Israeli settlements in the West Bank, following "concerns shared with us by our fans and trusted partners."
"Although Ben & Jerry’s will no longer be sold in the OPT [Occupied Palestinian Territories], we will stay in Israel through a different arrangement. We will share an update on this as soon as we’re ready," Ben & Jerry's added." More there...
As they are anti-semitic libs, their actions are not surprising.
Note they choose to only pick on Israel, which is typical of a lib. I'll bet they have no problem selling ice cream to despots in China, Cuba, and Africa.
Ben and Jerry are supporting the claim of Hamas, a terrorist group, that Israel is occupying Palestinian land. That means they are claiming that the people of Israel are in fact living on ground claimed by the terrorists. Therefore, being diametrically opposite of what the Jewish people living in and defending Israel from those same terrorists believe.
You cannot be on both sides at the same time.
Ben and Jerry have chosen to support the enemies of the people that share their history and culture. Therefore, all the obfuscation to the contrary will never change what they are doing by claiming their own people are wrong to defend themselves and their homeland from the terrorist threat Hamas poses to Israel's a distance.
You should look up from the issued talking points of the far left and actually look at what's been happening since 1948.
Fail on your part. Before this you engaged in a logically fallacious Emotional Appeal that was a nothing burger.
Now you engage in a fallacious selectivity as almost every country says that Israel is violating international law of the 1967 borders with which the UN concurs.
Israel is a member of the UN and is expected to go by international law. They can do that or get pit if the UN.
Therefore you must stop using illogical arguments.
And you either support free markets or you don't. Choose.
In the end, pick up some Fascistic Fudge Brownie if you're in the mood for Israel, Florida, and Texas to dictate where Ben and Jerry's must sell their ice cream.
International law says that Israel must abide by the 1967 borders, and almost every country agrees. Per the UN, if you are a member of the UN you must abide by international law, so if Israel doesn't like it, they can leave the UN as a member. I say get out of the UN and get the UN out of the US, but that's just me.
If someone doesn't like an Olympian, boo them. If that Olympian made their bed then they have no cause to whine.
And if people don't like Ben and Jerry's then boycott them. If Ben and Jerry's feels the pinch, then too bad.

Problem solved.
If every country that didn't abide by the UN's "international law" were to leave the UN, then there would be no countries left in it. Including us.
And that would be a good thing.
And if Israel isn't following the rules, isn't it the UN's job to kick them out? Why should Israel voluntarily leave the table when nobody is forcing them to?
In the end, all sovereign nations are all going to do what they feel is in their own best interests, regardless of the UN and their rules. That is one of several reasons the UN is a joke.
Just because they were born Jewish doesn't mean they participate or support the homeland of the Jews.
Just look at how many people born American participated and continue to participate in activities that are attempting to undermine and destroy America by burning the flag, destroying our cities, using riots to steal from businesses, promote teaching our children a warped and false history of the country, promote anti-white racism, etc. etc. etc....
Just because of your birth doesn't mean you have an allegiance or affinity for your country or your heritage.
I was thinking more about the so-called “patriots” who tried to destroy America and it’s ideals on January 6 by attempting to overthrow the government.
