Ben & Jerry’s

2 years ago

Shares of Unilever, the Anglo-Dutch multinational company, dropped about 0.5 percent on Friday, 0.8 percent on Thursday, and 0.5 the previous day. It’s not clear if the drop was due to the calls to boycott Ben & Jerry’s, which has been owned by Unilever since 2000.

It all started when the Vermont-based ice cream company wrote that “this 4th of July, it’s high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it,” before it posted a link to a blog post asserting that the United States hand back the famed national monument with four presidents to native tribal assets.

“The faces on Mount Rushmore are the faces of men who actively worked to destroy Indigenous cultures and ways of life, to deny Indigenous people their basic rights,” the post alleged.

A number of people on the platform, including prominent conservatives, called for a boycott.

Jerry Greenfield and Ben Cohen are jews who founded the ice cream company. To be consistent with their namesake company, they should call for a boycott of Israel for occupying stolen Palestinian land. Isreal is terrified of Boycotts , divestments and sanctions. It's time all nations boycott the apartheid ethno-state of Israel

We say BDS Israel now. Keep repeating the call. Spread this video.
