I have noticed that virtually none of these woke corporations or Muslim countries are divesting from China for the atrocities against millions of its own uyghur citizens. But let an Israeli Jew sneeze the wrong way and they are all up in arms about it. Such hypocrisy.
You have the plant, the distributors, the stores, and the know how. Can't you form your own ice cream company and call it Mohammed and Moshe? There is nothing like competition to bring reason and sanity back. I won't buy Ben & Jerry's and haven't for some years now because of their stupidity.
And yet, even Avi feels the need to profess fealty and bend the knee to "social justice" even as the movement rears its ugly, hateful, discriminatory fangs.
You cannot worship the system that is killing you and also push back against it. You must recognize that "social justice" is a vague, all-encompassing justification for anything that empowers the radical left. It is a movement built upon creating new injustices to fix the old ones - except for China, which consistently gets a free pass on everything because the money is good enough for the "social justice" believers to look the other way. A movement that supports wrecking the poor with lockdowns but thinks the West Bank is the worst atrocity in the world.
And that, naturally, is where we see their real colors. And we see Avi's underlying support for that culture in the way he calls charity work "social justice" rather than simply "charity."
The BDS movement is coercion writ large…supported and promoted mostly by young ignorant and uniformed people- most of whom have never traveled to Israel to observe the complexity of the society and vast accomplishments of the country.
I haven’t bought Ben & Jerry’s ice cream for over twenty years. Mainly because both Ben & Jerry are peevish, puerile, pretentious political shills who cause more harm than good with their biased and hypocritical “causes”. The world would not miss them if they simply went away.
Thank you for bringing this to light. It’s a crazy new world. I hope that your law suit is successful and stops other companies implementing similar discriminatory policies.
When you share the idealogy of 'social justice' eventually it targets you. It's only a matter of time. JUSTICE, alone, is blind and does not discriminate. B&J's are disgusting.
I've always been very confused with Jews aligning themselves with the left. It's counterintuitive on every level.
I feel like it's in a Jew's best interest to align themselves with a party that is anti-crime, pro-Israel, pro-business, pro-self defense, pro-meritocracy, etc.
As a West Bank Palestinian, I support you Avi. I want to be able to buy Ben n Jerry’s in Ramallah. Period. Why would anyone want to deny that? Keep up the good fight. Rational thought is on your side, and so are those who believe in it.
As a progressively progressive proggish Progger I am all for BDS ...the 20+ Islamist supremacist nations that oppress Women, Gays, Christians, Jews and Minorities. I also BDS Mark Ruffalo, Susan Sarandon and a few others. I tell my fellow Progs that we will have to learn to live with Islamic control of only 99.8% of the land area of the Middle East. I acknowledge that will be hard and always have a hankey to share when the tears starting rolling.

You are doing the right thing, and this Gentile supports you. Thank you for telling your story.
This is what happens when corporations become involved in politics, of which they usually have little understanding. Stick to business!
Good luck on Your Lawsuit. Very worthy. TYTY.

Haven’t eaten Ben and Jerry’s in years. They can support and promote what they like, I can eat (and support) what I like.

What gives?
Thanks for writing about this issue. It was one of many in the back of my mind. I know which ice cream I WON'T be buying in the future. Good luck!
Social injustice for sure.
