Ben & Jerry’s Faces a Lawsuit after Demanding That an Israeli Producer Stop Selling Ice Cream in the West Bank
“I refuse to discriminate.”
For years, the movement to boycott, divest from, and sanction Israel (BDS) has pressured the Ben & Jerry’s ice-cream company to end sales in east Jerusalem and the West Bank. Ben & Jerry’s resisted the pressure until last May, when it insisted that Avi Zinger, who produces and distributes Ben & Jerry’s ice cream throughout Israel and Palestinian territories, stop providing ice cream to customers in certain areas. Zinger refused to comply, citing the principles at stake as well as a series of laws that he believes would be violated were he to cooperate with Ben & Jerry’s request. Earlier this month, he filed a lawsuit against his parent company.
