Our feelings about @benandjerrys.
You have every right to enact your values through your company. You have made it clear your values are politically driven and while most companies choose not to divide their customers, you do. Your choice.

Jews, 95% of whom consider themselves Zionists, are under constant attack around the world. You decided to side with an extremist group of antisemites with ties to internationally recognized terror organizations.

We can't log in to Facebook, Twitter even LinkedIn without being under a barrage of attacks. Jews are by far the most targeted by hate crime year after year according to FBI statistics. And now, 95% of Jews can't even eat ice cream without feeling attacked.

You completely threw your Israeli franchisee @BenJerrysIsrael under a bus. You just put factory workers, sales staff, administration, Jews, Arabs and other minorities out of work because of your misguided half informed decision.

Again. It's your right to make whatever decisions you make. OK, you put your values (however rooted in antisemitism they are) over your bottom line.
But we will not allow you to make @BenJerrysIsrael and their employees victims to your ill-gotten decisions.

Some of your values are great. Fighting climate change. Racial justice. Refugee rights. But succumbing to the demands of antisemitic groups with integral ties to terrorism like BDS who disguise themselves as human rights activists is harmful.
You just emboldened Jew hate.
