I spoke with @VTJP1948's Wafic Faour about Ben & Jerry's. "I have been an activist on the Palestinian question all my life but I’ve never seen this kind of support, like what we have now." mondoweiss.net/2021/07/it-sh…

‘It shows that BDS works’: Wafic Faour on how a group of Vermont activists got Ben & Jerry’s to move

Following years of #BDS campaigns @benandjerrys has announced it will end sales of its ice cream in Israel's illegal settlements on stolen Palestinian land. We warmly welcome their decision but call on Ben & Jerry's to end all operations in apartheid Israel. #BDSsuccess

Prime Minister Bennett spoke with Alan Jope, CEO of Unilever which owns Ben & Jerry's and made it clear that he views with utmost gravity the decision by Ben & Jerry's to boycott Israel and added that this is a subsidiary of Unilever, which has taken a clearly anti-Israel step.

3. Issue a statement (a) calling on Israel to end its occupation and settlement enterprise and (b) appealing directly to other socially responsible companies to do likewise and to cease business operations in Israel and its illegal settlements.

Activists in Burlington, Vermont, are calling for a boycott of ice cream makers Ben & Jerry's for its decades-long business ties to Israel. They are urging the company, known for supporting social justice issues, to divest from the country.

There is so much harm that Israel has already done to Khalida Jarrar. But its refusal to allow the Palestinian lawmaker out of prison to attend the funeral of her daughter Suha is perhaps the most cruel bit.ly/2TYkb7H

MT @yarahawari: Today we buried Suha Jarrar, friend & colleague, daughter & sister. Life is cruel & crueler yet under Israeli occupation. Suha’s mum, political prisoner Khalida Jarrar, who's due for release in 60 days, prevented from attending the funeral. #FreeKhalidaJarrar
