What happened : Ben & Jerry’s will end sales of their ice-cream in illegal Israeli settlements on stolen Palestinian land, saying it’s inconsistent with the values of the socially conscious brand. This comes as a huge win for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.
Details : In a statement on their website, Ben and Jerry’s stated, ” We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). We also hear and recognize the concerns shared with us by our fans and trusted partners.”

This decision is a result of extended campaign by Palestinians and their allies through the BDS movement to pressure the company over its complicity with Israel apartheid. For more visit Propergaanda.
