84 Israeli Lawmakers Ask Unilever to Scrap Ben and Jerry's Boycott
(Ynet News) Moran Azulay - 84 lawmakers from Israel's 120-member Knesset on Wednesday signed a letter asking Unilever, which owns Ben & Jerry's, to immediately revoke the decision not to sell its products in Israeli communities in the West Bank. The letter, initiated by Yesh Atid MK Merav Ben-Ari, said: "From the left to the right, religious and secular, Druze and Jewish, men and women. We stand together against the outrageous decision." "This is shameful, abusive behavior and above all a decision that excludes large sections of the very public that Ben & Jerry's world management ostensibly seeks to support," referring to the Palestinians who are employed by the company's West Bank distributor. "The cross-party cooperation in the Israeli legislature is proof of how morally distorted Unilever's decision is."
