Ben & Jerry’s Tough on Israel, Soft on China
From the Washington Free Beacon Editors: In a move that perfectly captures how left-wing activism is increasingly bleeding into naked anti-Semitism, Ben & Jerry’s said that selling ice cream in the West Bank is “inconsistent with our values.” Later: Look no further than Ben & Jerry’s partnership with Unilever, which acquired the ice cream company in 2000. There is no comparison between Israeli policy in the West Bank and the practices of the world’s greatest human rights abusers. Unilever happily does business everywhere from occupied Northern Cyprus to occupied Tibet and Xinjiang, home to Uyghur concentration camps. We won’t hold our breath for the ice cream boycott of China or Russia. But hey, there are no Jews in Xinjiang (Free Beacon). https://freebeacon.com/politics/bds-jerrys/
From Nikki Haley: Woke companies are just an extension of today’s far left. They pretend to stand up for human rights by taking up causes that fit their worldview and ignoring ones that don’t. Like embracing BDS while staying silent on the abuses of Communist China (Twitter). https://twitter.com/NikkiHaley/status/ [login to see] 50647040
Even New York City mayor Bill DeBlasio criticized the democrat-friendly Ben & Jerry’s (Twitter).

More than half the states have laws prohibiting BDS and Ben and Jerry's will get sued.

They only care for those that believe in human degradation, not those that are trying to stay alive by fighting back Lt Col Charlie Brown

GySgt Thomas Vick That's good ice cream Gunny. In our part of the world we have Mayfield Dairy Products (owned by Dean's Foods now). They are tops on my list but expensive (not as much as Ben & Jerry) but when on sale it is reasonable.
