"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
We are the founders of Ben & Jerry’s. We are also proud Jews. It’s part of who we are and how we’ve identified ourselves for our whole lives. As our company began to expand internationally, Israel was one of our first overseas markets. We were then, and remain today, supporters of the State of Israel.
But it’s possible to support Israel and oppose some of its policies, just as we’ve opposed policies of the U.S. government. As such, we unequivocally support the decision of the company to end business in the occupied territories, which a majority of the international community, including the United Nations, has deemed an illegal occupation.
While we no longer have any operational control of the company we founded in 1978, we’re proud of its action and believe it is on the right side of history. In our view, ending the sales of ice cream in the occupied territories is one of the most important decisions the company has made in its 43-year history. It was especially brave of the company. Even though it undoubtedly knew that the response would be swift and powerful, Ben & Jerry’s took the step to align its business and operations with its progressive values.
That we support the company’s decision is not a contradiction nor is it anti-Semitic. In fact, we believe this act can and should be seen as advancing the concepts of justice and human rights, core tenets of Judaism.

hopefully various American politicians drop their attempts to cancel Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream
of course everyone should be free to take their ice cream budget wherever they please

Did you ever comment on the white house bragging about hey the flag social media posts to censor?
Didn't think so.

President Trump threatened an investigation into Facebook over perceived bias after a White House staffer was temporarily banned from posting comments on the site.

i don't recall commenting on this...although it is fairly egregious...on par with some of the recent moves and threats made against Ben and Jerry's by various American politicians
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Twitter has taken the unprecedented step of adding fact-check warnings to two of President Donald Trump’s tweets that falsely called mail-in ballots “substantially fraudulent” and predicted a “Rigged Election.” On Wednesday, the president threatened to impose new regulation on social media companies or even to “close them down.”

I for one wont stand for this. They may be Republicans but we all remember Fox News defending CNN from attacks by Trump, we remember disgraced former President Trumps strong defense of NFL players kneeling to protest, and we all remember how Trump held a rally outside the Capitol on January 6th and demanded people respect the voice of 81 million Americans who voted for Biden.

It’s over."

Oh good ol Ida
You and her are those people who think the state is making it illegal to teach slavery.
LOL such idiots

I don't see what's confusing about the law. You can teach history, including slavery, Jim Crow, and the Civil Rights era, without telling every minority that they're oppressed or every white kid that they're racist or privileged. It's not hard.

Just buzzwords and political theatre when they talk about freedom and not who we are

ooops. Rand accidentally made a YouTube video citing sources (including advisors of the Biden team) that cloth masks are useless.
Rather than debate the merits and prove Rand wrong... YouTube decided to censor

Its wild to me that supposed liberals are supportive of this
Only one narrative safe to discuss in the scientific community
