Israeli students accuse Ben and Jerry’s of occupying tribal land in Vermont
Hattip Procopius2k. [NYPost] Israeli students claim that ice cream maker Ben & Jerry’s is "illegally" occupying land in Vermont that once belonged to a Abenaki native American tribe and should practice what it preaches and immediately evacuate the properties.A cheeky letter sent to B&J — signed by more than 1,000 Israeli students and academics affiliated with Students for Justice in America — accuses B&J of of hypocrisy. "We have concluded that your company’s occupation of the Abenaki lands is illegal and we believe it is wholly inconsistent with the stated values that Ben & Jerry’s purports to maintain. Ironically, in July of the last year you announced that you would discontinue the sale of your products in Israel because you object to the Jewish State allegedly occupying Paleostinian territories," the letter to B&J’s chairperson, Anuradha Mittal said.
