An initiative organized by Shurat HaDin is striking back at the Ben and Jerry’s ice cream manufacturers for their anti-Israel bias and sheer hypocrisy. Over 1,000 Israeli university students signed a letter to Anuradha Mittal, the Ben and Jerry’s Chairperson, demanding that the company evacuate its factories and headquarters in Vermont from "illegally occupied" Abenaki Indian lands. The Ben and Jerry’s corporation sits on three New England properties that once belonged to North American indigenous tribes, and the students want to hold the company’s leadership accountable to the same argument compelling Ben and Jerry’s to boycott Israel. In the letter, the students wrote “We know you are calling for Jews to vacate Judea and Samaria, therefore we call upon you to evacuate your factories in Vermont because this is occupied territory. This is not a war against ice cream. It’s about the hypocrisy of the BDS movement.”
