Unilever announced on Thursday that it settled the lawsuit filed by Ben & Jerry’s over the agreement it signed with Ben & Jerry’s Israel allowing it to sell ice cream in Yehuda and Shomron.
�Unilever is pleased to announce that the litigation with Ben & Jerry�s Independent Board has been resolved,� a statement from the company said.
Unilever did not provide further details about the settlement. However, Avi Zinger, the CEO of Ben & Jerry’s Israel, said that no changes have been made to his agreement with Unilever and he is �pleased� that the litigation has been resolved.
Ben & Jerry�s had filed a US federal lawsuit in July against its parent company Unilever to block the sale of its ice cream in �occupied Palestinian territory.�
The lawsuit claimed that Unilever breached its acquisition deal with Ben & Jerry�s, which granted autonomy to the Ben & Jerry�s board �for safeguarding the integrity of the Ben & Jerry�s brand name� and its �social mission.�

Ben and Jerry , the ugly ones above….such filled with reckless hatred towards Israel and Jews…shame on them…..never to be forgiven
I hope Ben and Jerry make an ice cream flavor to honor Sara Rifka. It could be vanilla riddled with nuts, and they could call it “Just Plain Nuts.”
