Israeli PM vows to take ‘aggressive’ action over Ben & Jerry’s ban

Maybe they could invent Ori and Moshe's instead?

I knew things were heading downhill when they stopped making charoset ice cream for Passover.

Also, British people (Unilever) are back to meddling with Israel. Bah!

I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by the current Minister of Economy Orna Barbivai's reaction to the story. Barbivai is a leftist (not necessarily pro-settlements, to put it lightly), but made a video in which she threw a carton of B&J's ice cream into the trash, announcing: "You're confused. Neither your sweets nor your ice cream will influence our decision-making in this state."

Israeli PM vows to take ‘aggressive’ action over Ben & Jerry’s ban


Your thoughts.....

I didn't know they were bought out by a British company, although I can't say I've ever been a fan of their ice cream. But I always thought it was just two guys in Vermont who liked to make ice cream.

I suppose they have every right to boycott, just as Twitter has the right to ban Trump or Amazon has the right to ban MyPillow.

From the article:

Israel’s foreign ministry criticised the decision on Monday as “a surrender to ongoing and aggressive pressure from extreme anti-Israel groups” and said the company was cooperating with “economic terrorism”.

This appears to be a rather scathing criticism over ice cream. Whether or not it's anti-Israel would depend on whether they practice their principles consistently. Have they banned their product in every country which has had questionable territorial acquisitions? If not, why not?

Could you explain how historically there would of ever been a Jewish State again in Palestine without British meddling?

I suppose we will never know, because of British meddling. But let's put it this way: Things might have been simpler had the Brits not gone and promised the land both to Jews and to Arabs during WWI.

I'd give Ori and Moshe's a try.

Certainly it is hard to see that the Ottomans would of allowed the mass immigration into Palestine that allowed the Jewish State to be created, I am sure the indigenous people in Palestine after WW1 would see it as a lot simpler. 12% of the population were Jewish at the turn of the century by the end of the mandate that figure had rose to nearly 40%

Canaanites?

Okay.

No problem. Make your own ice cream as a recent oluh has done

• 2 cups whole milk
• ¾ cup sugar
• fresh mint leaves (optional)
• 1 tsp mint extract
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 4 oz (100 grams) dark chocolate broken into chunks (can also use chocolate chips)

Okay.

That is a racist remark, do you not accept anyone who is not a Celt as not indigenous to our country?

Might've been higher if they would've let Holocaust refugees in.

You still believe there are Canaanites?

No I believe the indigenous people of Palestine were the people who lived there at the start of the mandate, be they Arab, Jewish or whatever. This is defined in the preamble to the Mandate. I am not a racist who would define indigenous people as only the ones who can trace their ancestry back for thousands of years.

Maybe, might of been a lot lower and the Holocaust might of been avoided if people like Begin had fought the Nazis instead of becoming a terrorist in another country.

And also if Chamberlain hadn't handed a piece of Europe to Hitler.

Why would they?

Certainly and if Britain had gone to war in 38 when we were even less prepared, Hitler might of won the war and all the Jews of Europe would be dead.
