NJ mayor blasts Ben & Jerry’s ‘virtue signaling’ pro-Palestine stance and asks: How come you still sell in China, Saudi Arabia and Syria if you care about human rights?

The mayor of a town in New Jersey where Ben & Jerry’s owner Unilever is headquartered has blasted the ice cream firm for its vow to stop selling ice cream in the West Bank to boycott Israeli settlements.

Ben & Jerry’s has been embroiled in an ongoing saga of boycotts and criticism after the company released a statement on July 19 that selling ice cream in ‘Occupied Palestinian Territory’ was ‘inconsistent with our values.’
