As it turns out, Ben & Jerry's Board of Directors wanted to boycott all of Israel, but parent company Unilever put the kibosh on that.
This does make sense when you consider Ben & Jerry's Chairwoman Anuradha Mittal is committed supporter of BDS and, despite her claims to the contrary, an anti-Semite.
Still, I'm angrier that Unilever indulged in any aspect of the boycott at all. They should have told Mittal and company what they could do with their boycott and let them resign.
For their part, Ben & Jerry's co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield are proud of this boycott.
So once again I say to hell with Ben & Jerry's.
