Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream – #OneSmallScoopForJustice

August 26, 2021 Sylvia Schwarz Leave a comment

Recently, Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream announced that it would stop selling its product in illegal settlements in the Occupied West Bank (see articles here and here). The predictable backlash came immediately (see here, for example). Israeli envoy Gilad Erdan even asked US governors to activate their unconstitutional anti-boycott laws enacted in more than 30 states to punish Ben & Jerry’s and its parent company, Unilever. (Erdan made this request of the governors of all the states with anti-boycott laws, so we assume Governor Walz was one of them. There is no confirmation of this, though).

Let’s not wait to find out what Minnesota’s governor will do! We’ve started a social media campaign called #OneSmallScoopForJustice. Post a photo of yourself enjoying some Ben & Jerry’s ice cream with that hash tag!

Divest for Justice in Palestine!

We are Palestinians, Americans, Jews, Christians, Muslims, students, professionals, parents, community members and allies working together to bring Palestine-centric education to Minnesota in order to promote justice and human rights.

We believe:

We, the people of Minnesota, have the moral obligation to make sound investments that will not aid the oppression of any one race, creed or people. Minnesota’s investment in Israel supports an apartheid system in both Israel and the Occupied Territories that causes thousands of civilian deaths, many of whom are children, and which involves the widespread abuse of human rights. This system defies a ruling by the International Court of Justice as well as more than 65 UN Resolutions, and violates the Fourth Geneva Convention. We demand that the state of Minnesota act on its good conscience and support the breaking of economic ties with the apartheid state of Israel.

We say, Minnesota divest from Israel Bonds, Divest for Justice in Palestine!
