Thank you to states like New York for putting economic and political pressure on Ben & Jerry's and Unilever to end their ill thought out boycott which was announced last July.

2. The BDS' Boston Mapping Project alleges sinister connections

between Jewish and pro-Israel groups across Massachusetts and government, politicians, the police and the media, and blames these groups for a range of nefarious activities. The group plotted the locations of the organizations on an interactive state map — drawing lines between the Jewish groups and institutions the project claims they influence — and released the addresses and names of some of the groups’ staffers.

Unilever understands that embracing BDS antisemitism is just really bad business. Good for Unilever.
