New Ben & Jerry's Flavor: BDS - Smells & Tastes like BS

LOL, this doesn't even fit with BDS. BDS would want them to stop selling in Israel altogether, this only says they stop selling in "occupied" territories. Plus, they have to still finish their current agreement, which sells everywhere, and then find a franchisee who will go along with the plan and not sell in occupied territories, which isn't going to be easy.

So sell only to Israelis and not to Palestinians. That'll show them.

@jj1000 Perhaps merge the discussion from the Tweets thread.

Where in the statement is the word Apartheid?

Calling parts of Israel OPT is promoting the Israeli apartheid lie.

Changed it back to my original headline based on this article

That article is Fake News as well. B&J doesn't mention BDS, and states clearly it will continue to sell in Israel

Is Ben&Jerry's that's old in Israel made locally? If so, it's made with cholov yisroel milk.
If not, is it cholov yisroel in Israel?

Apparently so. From the article linked to in the post above this one:

Ben & Jerry's ice cream in Israel is produced by an Israeli company, also named Ben & Jerry's, which is licensed to produce the sweet dessert. This Israeli company, which operates out of Beer Tuvia, is not boycotting any part of Israel. Their license only expires at the end of 2022.

IIRC some flavors are made there under Belz hechsher.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett says Ben & Jerry’s decision to stop selling ice cream in the so-called “Occupied Palestinian Territory” is a mistake. “Ben & Jerry’s decided to brand itself as anti-Israel ice cream,” says Bennett. “This is a moral mistake and I believe it will turn out to be a business mistake as well.”

They don’t care. Go through their twitter account. They’re anti-police, pro-BLM, pro-drugs, pushing liberal candidates. Not sure where ice cream fits in.

They're famously Progressive activists who want to actually impact the world and not just make money. It's quite an inspiring story. Unfortunately, they stopped reading at "lesaken olam".
