Nuclear-armed Israel goes to war with Ben & Jerry's ice cream — how ridiculous is that?

Aggressive Zionism exposes its shriveled soul, again

 

The Israeli masters of apartheid — as well as murdering quasi-genocide — announced their newest battle against Rectitude:

 

 

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett told the head of Unilever on Tuesday that Israel will “act aggressively” against Ben & Jerry’s over the subsidiary’s decision to stop selling its ice cream in the Israeli-occupied territories of the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

 

Bennett’s office said in a statement that he spoke with Unilever CEO Alan Jope about what he called Ben & Jerry’s “clearly anti-Israel step,” adding that the move would have “serious consequences, legal and otherwise, and that it will act aggressively against all boycott actions directed against its citizens”.

 

The Ben & Jerry’s announcement was one of the highest-profile corporate rebukes of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, territories Israel captured in the 1967 war. Most of the international community considers these settlements illegal under international law and an impediment to peace with the Palestinians.

 

Ben & Jerry’s said in its announcement that the sale of its ice cream in territories sought by the Palestinians for an independent state was “inconsistent with our values”.

There you have it . . .

 

Mighty Zion is upset with an ice cream company.

 

 

The moral? — 'The Holocaust made us do it'

 

Nuke-armed Israel trots this justification out at every opportunity.

 

Evidently, we are supposed to see the Shoah's horror as justifiably concealing whatever atrocities soul-polluted Israel now conducts — in its purported self-defense — against everyone that disapproves of people-squashing Adam Henrys (like Expansionist Israel).

 

This is a curious twist of elementary morality by any reasonable standard.

 

Israel's vicious, unembarrassed pettiness is now demonstrated in that an ice cream company has become its most recent target.

 

If we do not find this darkly laughable, our senses of proportion have been damaged by an inability to think.
