@benandjerrys likes to brand itself as a social justice company with flavors like "JusticeReMix'd & "Empower Mint."

But when it comes to promoting social equality and diversity in #Israel, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Here's what we mean ⬇️: Image
@BenJerrysIsrael buys the majority of its milk from local Israeli farmers.

Shutting down the factory would hurt the farmers and their families. Image
Most of the workers at the @BenJerrysIsrael factory, live in or near the Gaza Envelope.

They live under constant rocket fire from Hamas and other terror groups in Gaza & are one of Israel's most vulnerable populations. Image

For thousands of years, Ethiopian Jews would quote the Jewish phrase, "next year in Jerusalem."

In 1991, following Operation Moses in 1984, this dream became a reality for the 14,300 Jews airlifted to #Israel during Operation Solomon.

This is their story:

📸@MoDIsrael Image
Following civil unrest & political instability in Ethiopia, putting the Jewish community at risk, on May 24-25, 1991, Israel airlifted 14,300 Ethiopian Jews to Israel in a special mission titled #OperationSolomon.
📸@MoDIsrael
Israel chartered 35 aircrafts, including Israeli Air Force C-130s, in a clandestine mission to rescue 14,000+ Ethiopian Jews and safely bring them to Israel within 36 hours.

In order to rescue as many people as possible, the seats of the planes were removed. Image

My name is Itzik Yaakobi, son of Olga and Yaakov Elimelech, brother to Klari (all of blessed memory), survivor of Auschwitz-Birkenau, number B.11057.

This is my story.

#HowItzikSurvived

📸 Yediot Achronot
I was born in Debrecen, Hungary to an ultra-Orthodox family.

Under my father Yaakov Elimelech's direction, I spent my childhood studying religious and Jewish texts.

My fondest memory is studying the weekly Torah Portion with my father.

📸 @MakorRishon
This is my father of blessed memory who perished in the #Holocaust.
