Eh, if that's how you wish to see things. Europeans have never really understood how the ME works anyways.

No it wasn't Britain's greatest moment but in our countries defense we had just fought WW2.

Clearly, May be that is why the Palestinians fought so hard against the massive immigration from Europe of European Jews?
Could be. That's probably the reason they massacred the Hebron Jews as well, for being Ashkenazis (European).
Mossad is learning from the Russkies, eh.
Well, we do have a lot of Russians here.
I once worked with a Russian who emigrated to Israel.
Then he immigrated here.

I think you will find that it was due to rumours some Jews were about to seize control of the temple mount. Unless you have some historical evidence to suggest otherwise.
I was being sarcastic.

Yes I know, but there are many on here who would not understand the reasons for the terrible Hebron massacre and I was being factual so people understood.

There's quite a lot of not great ones tbf, but we are not alone in that.
Anyway, our little corner of the world produced Williams Shakespeare and Blake, and Keats and Shelley (Percy and Mary), and The Beatles and the Stones so...

B+J US is trying to impose its political agenda on B+J Israel and when B+J Israel (which, IIRC, has its own factory in Israel) says "no" B+J America says "at the end of 2022 you lose your license."
Unilever USA says "Hey, B+J USA doesn't speak for us. We own them but they have their own independence and agenda."
So American supporters of Israel might say "we will use Unilever products but not B+J."
Israeli supporters of Israel might say "we will eat lots to keep the Israel B+J in business and making money until the license ends and then we'll figure things out"
Political scientists say "not only is B+J USA's statement somewhat inconsistent with their work elsewhere, but it also is missing a lot of detail and it disadvantages Arab employees and Arab consumers"
Cynics say "clearly B+J wasn't doing financially well enough in those areas to continue marketing there so they decided to wrap the decision not to place product there in a politically woke bow"
Unilever says "we have other ice cream products in Israel ready to step in -- awesome!" Other companies are saying the same.
Some people just ask "how can there be occupied territory if there is no sovereign nation called Palestine?"
