Now, Jerry Greenfield, one of the founders of Ben & Jerry’s, has resigned from the company amid a bitter feud with its parent, Unilever, over Israel’s war against Hamas. Greenfield claims the brand has lost its independence because Unilever silenced its social activism—activism that included boycotting sales in Yehuda and Shomron back in 2021 and even calling Israel’s defensive actions “genocide.”

This episode speaks to the ever-intensifying cries against the Jewish people in the global arena. The ice cream guys always love to jump onto the antisemitic bandwagon. They never hesitate to generate some negative attention for Israel. If you really miss your fix of Ben & Jerry’s you can buy the equivalent in Israel. Of course, in order to do that, you have to actually visit the Land of Israel.

Well worth it, I’d say.
