NYC Ben & Jerry’s blames West Bank ban for slow sales, vows donation to Israel

The owner of a Ben & Jerry’s shop on the Upper West Side was so chilled by the parent company’s freeze on ice cream sales in the West Bank that he’s vowing to donate a portion of his proceeds to help Israel.

Joel Gasman, who runs the store on West 104th Street and Broadway, said he can’t stomach the boycott imposed last week in Israeli-occupied areas — claiming it’s caused his business in the Big Apple to tank.

"We couldn’t sit back and watch without speaking up," Gasman told The Post on Thursday.

You can't tell me this guy didn't know his "partners" weren't virulent haters of the Jewish state.

I hope Ben & Jerry's goes under. Democrats hate Israel. People need to WAKE UP to that fact.

I wouldn't buy their ice cream even if they made a Tom and Jerry's Grape Ape flavor. LOL

I really love using the enemy’s terminology to frame the debate:

“Israeli-occupied areas”

Like the, “Peoples Liberation Army”. Who have they ever liberated except some Americans from their mortal coils.

Also lots of local mom and pop places, like Bo’s in Tampa, they make a delicious coffee thick shake with real Cuban coffee. My glucose levels went off the scales just thinking about that😀😀😀

What about just selling your ice cream and leaving your politics aside?

True that! I bet though they really look forward to their Christmas parties brought to them by that guy from Israel.

There are often innocent casualties when corporate bigotry raises its ugly head, but it’s on the corporate leadership, not on the customers who refuse to aid and abet the hate being dispensed by the home office. The Israelis didn’t start the BDS movement but must resist it by the only civilized means they have at their disposal. I will boycott Ben & Jerry’s and encourage others to do the same.

American Urban liberals are complete sheep. If someone gives them a slogan, they’ll fall right into line.

....”donation to Israel” will be a dime tossed into the slot atop of Jewish National fund box. Known as a “pushke” it was invented in 1901 by a bank clerk.

I think those could sell well in the kids aisle. Maybe for the adult freezer section add some Gorgeous Goat Rump, 6-Sprinkles Aisha Thighing Sherbet, 9-Flavors Is Old Enough Sorbet, 72 Cherries, and Berry Boys With Beautiful Smiles Gelato.
