I spoke with @VTJP1948's Wafic Faour about Ben & Jerry's. "I have been an activist on the Palestinian question all my life but I’ve never seen this kind of support, like what we have now." https://t.co/7qwwZtRYHP

@AliAbunimah @AsaWinstanley @norabf Vermonters for Justice in Palestine would love to speak to @intifada about the over decades long struggle here in Vermont boycotting Ben and Jerry's that our organization spearheaded and internationally launched in 2013.

Ben & Jerry's board says CEO and parent company Unilever are violating ice cream maker's independence by asserting without its approval that they will "stay in Israel" https://t.co/DVSZYRog9y

[Carlos Latuff @LatuffCartoons]

Cry more, @netanyahu, no ice cream for war criminals!

Following years of #BDS campaigns @benandjerrys has announced it will end sales of its ice cream in Israel's illegal settlements on stolen Palestinian land.

We warmly welcome their decision but call on Ben & Jerry's to end all operations in apartheid Israel.

#BDSsuccess

[Vermonters for Justice in Palestine @VTJP1948]

Amazing victory for our group and for the BDS movement that the apartheid state of Israel feels so threatened by an ice cream company 🤣✊🏽#FreePalestine #Benandjerrys 🇵🇸

[Prime Minister of Israel @IsraeliPM]

Prime Minister Bennett spoke with Alan Jope, CEO of Unilever which owns Ben & Jerry's and made it clear that he views with utmost gravity the decision by Ben & Jerry's to boycott Israel and added that this is a subsidiary of Unilever, which has taken a clearly anti-Israel step.

[disorientalist @princessmlokhia]

Decolonize Burlington and Vermonters for Justice in Pal released these demands on May 19, so you've all had exactly two months to make critiques of them. Palestinian organizers still set and acheived their stated goals, and that is an irrefutable success. And we keep boycotting.

Read our statement on the recent news by @benandjerrys.

The struggle continues! 🇵🇸

3. Issue a statement (a) calling on Israel to end its occupation and settlement enterprise and
(b) appealing directly to other socially responsible companies to do likewise and to cease
business operations in Israel and its illegal settlements.

[Vermonters for Justice in Palestine @VTJP1948]

After over a decade of activism we have achieved one small victory today! The struggle however continues. We will be releasing a statement shortly.

Big thanks to @VTJP1948 and @decolonizebtv! Boycotting works 🇵🇸

[Jewish Voice for Peace @jvplive]

BDS VICTORY!

This decision is a testament to the power of Palestinian-led organizing and growing public support for Palestinian freedom.

Thank you @VTJP1948, @decolonizebtv, and all of the other groups who have been pressuring @benandjerrys to do the right thing for years. ✊

[Vermonters for Justice in Palestine @VTJP1948]

Ben and Jerry's...

we are waiting patiently for your statement...

[AJ+ @ajplus]

Activists in Burlington, Vermont, are calling for a boycott of ice cream makers Ben & Jerry's for its decades-long business ties to Israel.

They are urging the company, known for supporting social justice issues, to divest from the country.

[Electronic Intifada @intifada]

There is so much harm that Israel has already done to Khalida Jarrar. But its refusal to allow the Palestinian lawmaker out of prison to attend the funeral of her daughter Suha is perhaps the most cruel https://t.co/g9GrgVs3Gl
