Looks like Ben & Jerry’s ice cream couldn’t stand up to the 
heat: Its misguided anti-Israel boycott is finally melting away, 
thanks to a new arrangement by B&J’s parent company Unilever.

The leftist dessert brand will now be sold throughout Israel and 
the West Bank under its Hebrew and Arabic names — effectively 
ending the boycott the company imposed on Israeli towns in the 
West Bank and parts of East Jerusalem in July 2021.

That move prompted heavy criticism from American consumers and 
led several states to implement sanctions — with one stockholder 
even suing Unilever. Now, after consultations with the Israeli 
government, Unilever has sold its Israeli rights to the ice-
cream label to local franchisee Avi Zinger, which will allow for 
the sale of its products without Unilever’s direct involvement.

Good on Unilever for doing the right thing, even if it only did 
so after pressure. The idea of boycotting the Jewish state, the 
Middle East’s only true democracy and a nation that must fight 
for its very survival every day amid constant threats from 
Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and others, was always anti-Semitic at 
its core.

The deal won’t end that bigotry, of course, but maybe it could 
spur some re-thinking — over a scoop of, say, Cherry Garcia.
