" Ben & Jerry’s announcement nearly one year ago that it would no longer sell ice cream in “occupied Palestinian territories” is continuing to attract ire, as it finds itself the target of a new lawsuit, an alleged fake-news story and threats of further divestments…..Last week New York Gov. Kathy Hochul issued Unilever a final warning saying the state plans to divest its own funds from the company over the Israel decision if it did not take more decisive action against its subsidiary.'---JTA
It's not a Boycott as Ben and Jerry's still sells it products in Israel proper. Refusal to sell its products in illegally occupied territory is a decision to not profit from doing business in territory illegally controlled by an apartheid regime. Gov. Hochul and the Democratic Party"s support of this fascist occupation of the West Bank and repression of the human rights of the Palestinian people should be condemned by all progressive groups and others committed to the fight against fascism at home and abroad. Shame on Gov. Hochul if she goes through with this.
