"The Town of Hempstead, Long Island has formally announced a move to cut ties and municipal contracts with Ben & Jerry’s and its parent company, Unilever.
The move comes in the wake of a decision by Ben & Jerry’s to end the sale of its ice cream in Judea, Samaria and post-1967 areas of Jerusalem, which the company’s independent board of directors referred to as 'Occupied Palestinian Territory' in its statement.
'We stand with our Jewish neighbors against anti-Semitism and maintain a strong stance against the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement,' Hempstead Council member Bruce Blakeman wrote in an open letter Wednesday."
It's hard to remember than Ben & Jerry are actually Jewish, and I'll gladly forego my Pistachio Pistachio in .response to their stupidity in trying to use ice cream as a weapon against Israel.
