Ben & Jerry’s To Stop Selling In "Occupied Palestinian Territory"

[Dan]

The injunction is the key. With an injunction the Court would block the sale to the WB company. If the action proceeds in due course, B&J may be able to get damages from Unilever, but that's it.

+1. I don't think it's likely they'll force a sale to be undone way down the line.

You can never know how far these woke cooks might try to go.

It's always a possibility, it's just a lot less likely, so this is a big deal.

It also means the court doesn't believe they have a good chance at winning, which is also good news.

I am going to guess @imayid2 will support B&J since these are their "long held core values".

Or alternatively call out their values as being vile, ludicrously nonsensical, and anti semitic. Which makes the fact that they are deep and long held all the more disturbing.

So much anti-Israel insinuations without mentioning a word of why things are the way they are. Imagine mentioning a government putting people behind bars, but not mentioning a word why they are behind bars.

What do you expect from the FT? It's a British publication. A hotbed of western antisemitism.

חסד לאומים חטאת. They want to show that they regret the one good thing they did (not getting involved in the religious aspect, just from the non Jewish point of view, which is what they're responsible for).

Anybody know this guy? Must be a fisherman, constantly talking about fish. Maybe he's a fish.

Ben & Jerry’s is known for taking strong stances on social issues. After ceasing sales in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, the company and its parent company Unilever found out there are limits to how far companies can go in promoting their social value  https://t.co/oPWDgYIqQ3 pic.twitter.com/SQy4c6p9ta
