Florida and Texas Threaten Sanctions Against Ben & Jerry's Over Israel Boycott

I thought Republicans despise Cancel culture...

Nice to see a large company with morals. The only reason Israel manages to get away with such horrific acts is from its American support. Remove the American support and the Israel conflict will be resolved.

1.) U.S. federal law does not allow business boycotts of foreign countries. But...

The counter-argument from Ben & Jerry's/Unilever: we aren't boycotting Israel but rather this is occurring in "Israeli-occupied" territories.

U.S.: but those areas are a part a Israel.

Counter: how so per U.S. policy of a two-state solution, and numerous businesses and financial institutions boycotted South Africa so why not Israel?

Where it goes then, who knows.

2.) Ben and Jerry's boycott has been labeled as antisemitic but since one of the two is Jewish the counter is it's antisemitic to attack them.

3.) Israel is being challenged on whether they truly support free market capitalism whereas others wonder what's a commie company doing competing in a free market?

4.) Then it will come down to free speech rights in the U.S. and charges of Israeli foreign interference in U.S. laws vs anti-BDS laws.

Let's boycott Texas and Florida for being racist republicans don't understand separation of church and state

Who are these elected officials beholden to?
I wonder what the founding fathers would have thought about a separate country determining/ influencing the policy's and laws of the USA. YOU CANT SLANDER KING GEORGE or the empire? how is this any different? Again who are these elected officials beholden to?

So many Anti-Semites on this page.

B&J is for the leftists D party, They don't care about the Palistains ''babies being killed'' Democrats fight for: '' Abortion rights'', then holler Human Rights against Israel …what a load - division is all DemonRats cause - ''stop American Democrats they are the problem''.... bless Israel and defeat Hamas to free palistain people ...then peace will come

Do people really care about this? Wait til next year when one half of the country has no water and the other half has no food. See if anyone gives a fuck about ice cream sales then.

I'm with Ben and Jerry.

I live in Florida. DeSantis is the worst thing that has happened to Florida in years... aside from Trump naming Florida as his permanent residence. I've never encountered a bigger bunch of idiots assembled in one state than Florida. I'll be damned if DeSantis tells me what ice cream I can and can't eat. DeSantis has no problem with people not wearing masks or getting vaccines but, " oh Lord Ben & Jerry's ice cream that's where he draws the line!" FOOL! 😒 He should do his job and focus on the rising cases of covid in Florida and not matters overseas that has nothing to do with him.

I buy ben and Jerry's when its on sale, Ron DeSantis seems to care about his state but its all a dog and phony show to me

So much for the right to choose. If Republicans do this then people like those Religious bakers should have to provide cakes for GAYS and EVERYONE else.

FLORIDA AND TEXAS STAND WITH " GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE " AGAINST TERRORISTS.

Numbers Gen. 12:3 says those who bless Isreal will be blessed and those who CURSE Isreal will Be CURSED!

Doesn't anybody notice we are being controlled by a foreign country.

Desantis seems to care more about some icecream problem in an other country, than people dying in his state. I guess he's going where the money's better. Good luck Florida.

So let's understand this. Israel can build settlements in the west bank and on land that's not theirs, take Palestinian property, demolish their homes, kill, and lock up Palestinians for protesting and the Israeli government wants to boycott Ben&Jerry's for calling them out. Is that about the gist of it?

🤦🏻‍♀️Ha... These guy's NEVER LEARN...

Land thieves have a right to ice cream too.

Thank you for referring to the location by its true name "Judea & Samaria", and not the "occupied territories" As if the indigenous people of Israel can be so called "occupiers" of their ancestral homeland is rediculous.

At last. Companies and Celebrities should not get involved in politics. They should just sell their goods or entertain people respectively.

So is the so to be convicted felon Paxton gonna start a pretend ice cream company and ask people to invest?

republicans are once again wasting tax payer dollars ,Arizona just sold 95 million dollar in bonds as they boycott Ben and Jerry other republican states will most likely follow and when that matures, well DeSantis and the other republican governors will suffer that's because well settled state and federal law prohibit government officials using private companies for retaliatory purposes also Ben and Jerry could potentially upend republicans plans in the upcoming elections as they could legally sponsor opponents of republican candidates DeSantis is receiving free media credits for his efforts to boost his own personal chances of being trump's running mate in 2024 and for that he needs to be disqualified at he least but the most he needs to be impeached witch could happen only if democrats in Tallahassee take over the house of representatives

Boycott ben and jerry

Ben and Jerry's are legands ❤
