They also announced they would be cutting off their relationship with the local Israeli franchisee who’s been selling Ben & Jerry’s ice cream for the past 30 years in Israel. This franchisee fought this boycott (and lost) and now faces millions of dollars in damage due to the boycott.
This boycott is a direct attack on the Jewish state and is the result of Ben & Jerry’s USA appeasing the BDS movement, who views this move by Ben & Jerry’s USA as a huge win for their mission to damage the Israeli economy.
But we’re fighting back.
35 states in the United States have Anti-BDS laws that allow governments to cut off funding and contracts with companies that boycott Israel.
The Hebron Fund has launched a petition so that you can tell the governors of these 35 states that you are against this boycott of the State of Israel, and that they should use these laws to tell Ben & Jerry’s: “No. You cannot boycott the Jewish State.”
Tell Ben & Jerry’s to keep their politics out of their ice cream.

PS The more people we can reach, the more of an impact we will make. Please share this link on social media so we can stop Ben & Jerry’s boycott cold in their tracks! |
