Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, the founders of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, get pressed to explain why they’d block sales of their product in the so-called “Occupied Palestinian Territories” (OPT), but not in Georgia or Texas where laws also run afoul of their Progressive stance. They seem mystified at their own actions, and rapidly bring down the waffle cone of silence.

Ice Cream does not camouflage Anti-Semitism nor make it taste better
Typical Lefties. They “make a statement” that says exactly the opposite of what they think it does. Then other Lefties cancel them. Gotta love this stuff, too bad it’s seeped into politics like dead fish juice.
As I’ve asked in other forums, since the British Mandate includes what is now called Jordan in “Palestine”, ate B&J selling there?
the only thing my daughter might miss is their frozen cookie dough…
I only participate in buycots.
Had to be done…
I wouldn’t buy that sanctimonious outfit’s ice cream if it was the only ice cream on the planet. Over-priced and over-hyped but hopefully will go broke from marketing succumbing to the death strike of woke-ism.
I still prefer Good Humor and Carvel.
Brahms, Breyer’s and Blue Bell are my favs😋🍦
Like Breyers a lot. Blue Bell is good. However, a local brand Graeters is my big time fav. Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip. Heaven. During Oprahs show one of members of 98 degrees brought some to Oprah, who declared the chocolate mint (good, but not their best IMO) the best she ever tasted. Has Seasonal too. Pumpkin and Cinnamon coming up. Can order for national delivery through Goldbellys. Made in 2 gallon French pot method. Another flavor is Brown Butter Bourbon Pecan. Darn it, now I have to get some.
My sister used to live in Cincy, Graeters is wonderful.
Both Good Humor and Carvel remind me of childhood. Back then the Ice Cream truck in the summer was The Good Humor man. Carvel was where my grandfather took me on Satuday’s for soft serve and my dad brought home the Flying Saucers.
Great memories.
Oh, yeah, the summer tootling of the ice cream truck, begging for nickels to buy a treat, and going to the local ice creamery for ice cream after Sunday evening church service. Fond memories.
Those were my two as well. The Good Humor man was always a treat, and we had a Carvel within bicycling distance. In the 80s they put in an arcade game or two, and their Congarilla (counterfeit Donkey Kong) allowed for up to 16 characters for high scores. The woner would get pissed at seeing “Carvel Sucks” as the high score and would unplug the machine to reset it.
And despite being a skinny kid, I loved those thinny thins
I think the best answer ever concerning not letting politics influence business came from Michael Jordan, when asked why he never commented on political hot button issues; “Republicans buy sneakers, too.” i.e. why would I piss off half of my potential customers.
You know we’re wishhhhing that they’d go awayyyy
But the Woke Inquisition is here and it’s here to stayyyy!

Without clicking through to YT, Monty Python or Mel Brooks?
Mel – History of the World Part I
A classic!
Yes, it is. I miss Gregory Hines, too. He passed way too soon.
The Inquisition, what a show
The Inquisition, here we go
We know you’re wishing
That we’d go away
But the Inquisition’s here and it’s here to stay
Even though we probably haven’t watched it together since we were dating, to this day whenever me or Sister Babe uses the word “miracle” the other always responds with a horse whinny
Damn, right now I’d love to kick back with a pint of Ben & Jerry’s while watching this movie play out but they don’t want me as a customer.
As I’ve tried time & time again to explain to my Lefty pals, when you build a coalition based on identity politics, eventually your allies run out of other people to hate
5:24 Bingo. Nobody escapes the Woke Inquisition!
The reporter wasn’t pressing them from the angle of “why aren’t you selling it in Palestine” it was probably more to pressure them into not selling it in other places where the reporter disagreed with the politics (this is what Wokeness is all about, and 80% of reporters are hard-core Democrats). But it DOES, in fact, bring up the question… “Why are you making your ice cream unavailable to the oppressed while still selling it to the oppressors”.
You’re right. Vapor lock. If they thought things through, they wouldn’t be liberals.
The critical skill that eludes all leftists … thought.
Yep, we’re in Monty Python territory now. “NO NONE escapes the woke Inquisition!!!”
A couple Holy Hand Grenades of Antioch in the ol’ ice cream vat will probably straighten every thing right out. If not then try a shrubbery or two.
Or just bring in The Knights of Ni
Fans of Monty Python and the Holy Grail always garner extra points from me👍
HA!!!
Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
I don’t want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough water! I fart in your general direction!”
It seems the French Knights response would work well for many of the social justice types…
No thanks, we’ve already got one.
Though, I think some of them might like the castle perilous, and the spankings.
I scream, you scream, we all scream at Ben & Jerry’s.
So they don’t want Palestinians to enjoy their ice cream?
They get the best of both worlds! They support Israel, and sell their ice cream there, while at the same time virtue signaling to the Woke Leftists about how they weep for the poor Palestinians!
Genius!
Or, they could just be gormless diqks…
