My friends,
Remember when we cared about the opinion of “Big Ice Cream”? Yeah, me neither, but Ben & Jerry’s wanted to go out of their way to let you know they hate Israel.
Vermont ice cream giant and social justice enclave Ben & Jerry’s received backlash Monday from Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and his predecessor, Benjamin Netanyahu, after announcing the company would no longer sell its frozen desserts in "Occupied Palestinian Territory."
The ice cream company has been vocal in the past about social justice issues and announced they will no longer be selling their desserts in "Occupied Palestinian Territory," the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
"We have a long-standing partnership with our licensee, who manufactures Ben & Jerry’s ice cream in Israel and distributes it in the region," the company said in a Monday press release. "We have been working to change this, and so we have informed our licensee that we will not renew the license agreement when it expires at the end of next year."
Read the rest at Fox Business.
Remember my friends, your money is sometimes more of a vote than even a vote in an actual election. If you support Israel, maybe it is time to withhold your cash from “woke” ice cream companies.
Just a thought, anyway…
Your humble servant,
Ben Stein

Hey Ben, I too am a big Israel supporter. Ben & Jerry an easy one to discard their vocal stance on Israel has been clear for a time now. We absolutely must connect our purchases with our belief system. However, banking/shopping/flying dang these areas are predominately woke. Try to look up an item to buy an Amazon comes up, oh wait there is Target...no, what about Walmart (oh, Chinese)...As much as possible we need to support local mom and pop places as much as possible. I think Home Depot might be okay. In searching for a book for a friend (AMAZON) came up (big surprise) ... I by-passed it for a used copy at Abe's Books. I know nothing about Abes books BUT I do know about Amazon. We need innovative righteous people to rise to the top and knock off these conglomerates...and as buyers we need to get creative and make our own, make the effort to buy local or family businesses, start our own business or do without.
I wish I hadn’t already boycotted that company so I could do it again. God bless Israel. Keep up the good fight, Mr. Stein!
