Boycott & Remove Israel Boycotter Ben & Jerry’s Kosher Label - Not Kosher to Aid Arab Jew-Haters / Terrorists - Breitbart

By Joshua Klein

(JULY 20, 2021 / BREITBART) Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) President Morton A. Klein blasted Ben & Jerry’s ice cream company on Tuesday while calling for the removal of its kosher certification after the Vermont-based company announced plans to boycott Jewish residents of the West Bank and east Jerusalem, or what it termed “Occupied Palestinian Territory,” despite never having done so for countries accused of the worst human rights violations.

In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News on Tuesday, ZOA head Morton Klein expressed outrage over the recent boycott by the famed company that stated in a notice on its website on Monday that, “We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT).”

“Ben & Jerry’s discriminatory, antisemitic boycott is part of the ugly international ‘Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions’ (BDS) campaign to delegitimize, demonize and destroy the human rights-loving, democratic Jewish state,” Klein said.

He then highlighted the relationship between terrorist and BDS groups, describing both as battling the right of the Jewish state to exist.
