CEO of Ben & Jerry’s Israel: They have been pressuring me for a year and a half
Arutz Sheva ^ | 20/7/21 | Elad Benari

Posted on 07/20/2021 12:12:33 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

Avi Zinger, CEO of Ben & Jerry’s Israel, on Monday commented on the global Ben & Jerry’s corporation’s decision to boycott Judea and Samaria, telling Channel 12 News he has no intention of stopping the sales of the ice cream in Judea and Samaria.

"It is inconceivable that the company decides to cause harm for political reasons, and mix ice cream and politics," said Zinger.

Zinger said he had been under heavy pressure from Ben & Jerry's global corporation. "I heard about the decision more or less together with everyone," he said, "but I have been under pressure for about a year and hearing demands to stop marketing in Judea and Samaria. Of course, I have been opposed to it all along. Ever since the operation in Gaza the pressure from the company has increased."

"I did not agree to surrender to this and I am not willing to continue to surrender to it," stressed the CEO of Ben & Jerry's Israel. "I have been with them for 25 years, I brought it to Israel. I was informed two hours ago that since I am not willing to cooperate on this issue, they will not extend my agreement in year and a half," said Zinger.

He reiterated that he "does not plan and does not even intend to stop" selling the ice cream in Judea and Samaria. He noted that there is another year and a half until the end of the franchise agreement with the company, and he hopes that by then the company will change its mind.

It's OK, Avi. Surrender already. If they don't want our money, we don't want their ice cream. So it's all good.

Or, you could spin it that you are spreading obesity and diabetes to the Zionist occupiers, thereby weakening the IDF, especially middle-aged reservists. Not a very good marketing campaign, but really it's the truth.

We could do more woke in advertising and branding. Such as: Smoke Death Sticks. Expire from the flavor. Or how about: Oldsmobile. Warming the globe for generations. Use Brut Aftershave. Girls with Chlamydia dig the smell. Get some tonight.

The left hates the Jewish state. Why that fact is lost on so many is amazing to me.

Brighams competes with B&J inNew England. It tastes much better, and again, without all the drama.

It’s too cheap for Nancy Pelosi …$2.89/quart when on sale at Market Basket. Other places it goes for almost 7 bucks. 🍨

They like Jewish money. That’s why they have concerts here, sell ice cream here, and sell euro-beer, sodas and candy here. Not to be confused with liking Jews or our state. Regarding the latter, they are as one with Iran. America is the “big satan,” and Israel the “little satan” and they are hell-bent on destroying both.

Nuff said.

B&Js don’t belong anywhere in Israel. Israel is at war with corporations like that. Shut them all down

I don't eat benandhairys ice cream and don't care whether they sell it in Pittsburgh, let alone in Israel.

Jews have got to be the most self hating people on the planet, it's no wonder that george soros was a nazi worker in WWII.

I don’t even get the point of this. Seems to me that if they want to ‘punish’ Israel, then stop selling the ice cream to Israel (and NYC), rather than not selling it to terrorist entities.

But in the end, it’s not like they’re cutting off the water (or beer) supply to anyone, it’s just one crappy leftist brand of ice cream anyway.

The year and a half will give him time to decide his next business this is unbelievable. And to think Ben and Jerry are both Jews. Shameful.
