Ben & Jerrys filed a US federal lawsuit on Tuesday against its parent company Unilever to block the sale of its ice cream in “occupied Palestinian territory.”
The lawsuit is seeking an injunction of Unilever’s deal to sell all its Ben & Jerrys interests in Israel to Avi Zinger, the CEO of Ben & Jerrys Israel.
The lawsuit claims 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 & Jerrys brand name” and its “social mission.”
The lawsuit, which is also seeking damages from the deal and all of Unilever’s profits from it, was signed by Anuradha Mittal, thechairwomanof Ben & Jerrys board, a pro-terror anti-Israel activist who has beenaccused of financial improprieties
Alyza D. Lewin, president of the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, who represents Zinger, stated in response: Its a done deal. Unilever chose the morally correct, socially just and principled path when it ensured that Ben & Jerrys ice cream would always continue to be produced and sold in Israel and the West Bank.
The court denied a request for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against Unilevers deal with Zinger.

Block the racists from succeeding!
Simple solution: boycott Ben and Jerrys in the US and buy Ben and Jerrys in Israel. This will hurt the anti-semitic Unilever and its anti-semitic chairwoman and benefit the Jewish company that bought the Israeli franchise. Problem solved!!
I think we should take these rabid self hating jews and send them far far away where they can not make any more trouble.
Whay don’t they rename the comany “HEINZ AND FRITZ”?
