Ben and Jerry’s accuses Unilever of muzzling it over Trump mention, in latest tensions over social policies
[IsraelTimes] Ben & Jerry’s ratchets up its censorship lawsuit against Unilever, accusing its parent company of suppressing a social policy statement the ice cream maker wanted to release because it mentioned US President Donald Trump.No doubt they did, because Ben and Jerry are self-righteous fools who insist on their right to display that fact for all to see. The allegation comes in an amended complaint filed in Manhattan federal court, where Ben & Jerry’s in November accused Unilever of silencing attempts to express its pro-Palestinian stance and call for an end military aid to Israel, and threatening to dismantle its independent board.Ben & Jerry’s wants a court order freeing the board to continue oversight of its social mission, and requiring Unilever to honor its commitment to make $25 million of payments to groups chosen by the ice cream company. Unilever and Ben & Jerry’s do not immediately respond to requests for comment. Both companies have been publicly at odds since 2021 when Ben & Jerry’s decided to stop selling Cherry Garcia, Chubby Hubby and other ice cream flavors in the West Bank because it was inconsistent with the company’s values.
