Ben & Jerry, the overpriced Ice Cream manufacturer has announced trumpeted their foray into Middle Eastern politics by banning the sale of their product in occupied Palestine…..Because depriving the Israeli settlers of Chunky Monkey & Chocolate Fudge Brownie will be the tipping point resolving this many years old conflict!
The pair of auld fannies announced in July that it will stop selling its products in what it called “Occupied Palestinian Territory,” presumably the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The move will come as Ben & Jerry’s license deal with its local franchise ends at the end of 2022, and will not be renewed.
I wonder what their next plans will be to demonstrate their capitalist woke’ness?
Perhaps in support of Palestine’s elected political party Hamas they will stop selling two scoops of the same flavour or start collecting empty cartons of Häagen-Dazs from the buckets to strategically litter outside their shop on the pavement for the dissemination of propaganda to claim that Häagen-Dazs eaters have no respect for the environment.
Woke Capitalism at its hypocritical best…when did Ben And Jerry’s become the moral referee for far-flung conflicts? Woke nonsense for the cheap seats! They have been reported for exploiting migrant workers and their parent company Unilever has been manufacturing and selling skin-whitening cream in India…. Hypocrisy with a big H!
When recently interviewed https://youtu.be/7DoywTGsWfs they were asked why they would continue to sell ice cream in the US state of Georgia, which has restrictions on voting, and Texas with its recent anti-abortion law.
“Why are you still selling there?” they were asked about Georgia and Texas. Neither said anything for long seconds, then Cohen said: “I don’t know. It’s a good question. I don’t know what that would accomplish.” He shrugged and repeated, “I don’t know. I think you ask a really good question and I think I’d have to sit down and think about it for a bit.”
Perhaps this pair of Statler and Waldorf looking arseholes would like to have a look at their parent company,through the same virtue signalling prism, the big company who they choose to sell their business to but which they still remain remain part of generating massive Income for …Unilever.
Unilever…Worst rating for animal testing policy
Unilever…constantly lobby for free trade at the expense of the environment, animal welfare, human rights or health protection.
Unilever…workers from their Durban, South Africa plant peacefully picketed at the Unilever facility in the city over Unilever’s unethical practices, private security hired by Unilever attacked the protesters by shooting rubber bullets at then and using pepper spray (a complaint was filed with the UN)
…I could go on but you get the general idea, Ben and Jerry basically sold their soul to the devil and want you to believe they are a pair of lovely caring auld men looking out for others …woke hypocrisy at its best!
