Ahead of US midterm elections, Vermont ice cream company Ben & Jerry’s has announced its newest novelty flavor: Pecan Resist. The flavor is a tribute to various liberal activist groups that have led the opposition to the Trump administration.
Proceeds from the flavor are going to a group of activist organizations, including Women’s March, which is co-chaired by Linda Sarsour, a Palestinian-American activist who supports the movement to boycott Israel and has made disparaging comments about Zionism. In addition, another co-chair, Tammika Mallory, is a vocal supporter of Louis Farrakhan, the virulently anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader.
The Israeli arm of Ben & Jerry’s said it won’t be selling the flavor, and said it doesn’t get involved in U.S. politics.
“Ben & Jerry’s Israel is is an independent and blue and white [Israeli] company,” Ben & Jerry’s Israel said on its web site. ” We don’t have anything to do with the decisions of the international brand and we don’t interfere with local politics. It is important to mention that we do not intend to market [Pecan Resist] in Israel. We will continue to do and act for the community and for the company in Israel.”

BOYCOTT their ice cream
Who cares. Hate Trump. Eat ice cream. Get diabetes. Give the surgeon a dinner call.
Its not an issue.
Yes Vermont. Same state as the old socialist Bernie Sanders. Ben & Jerry are 2 mishgav zacharniks ( they came out with their hubby hubby flavor to show their support) who are self hating Jews of the worst kind.
Do they also have bitter chocolate obama flavor?
Israel didn’t take a stand. Ben and Jerrys Israel did.
