Statement: Ben & Jerry's Discriminatory Boycott of Israel

The boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel has only one goal: to destroy the world’s only Jewish state. Proponents of BDS oppose Jewish self-determination and intentionally distort history to advance their agenda and strengthen their systemic global antisemitism. By imposing a discriminatory boycott against Israel, the Ben & Jerry’s Board of Directors has declared their support for these same goals. In light of this, the Israeli-American Civic Action Network urges Ben & Jerry’s customers and parent company Unilever to take appropriate action against this decision designed only to oppress Jewish people.
