Ben & Jerry’s board chair speaks out: ‘I am not an anti-Semite’
Nevertheless, Anuradha Mittal has posted anti-Israel content and support for the BDS movement on her personal Twitter account, including calling for the U.S. government to end aid to Israel and supporting Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and her anti-Semitic rhetoric.
(July 27, 2021 / JNS) Ben & Jerry’s board chair Anuradha Mittal spoke out for the first time since the ice-cream company announced that it would no longer sell its product in “occupied Palestinian territory,” where she rejected calls that the move was anti-Semitic.

Why we need Jewish flavoured BDS ice cream
July 21, 2021
Robert A. H. Cohen
Anyone for a scoop of “antisemitic ice cream”? It’s available worldwide, according to the Prime Minister of Israel who thinks that Ben & Jerry’s boycott against the treatment of Palestinians in the West Bank (“it’s inconsistent with our values”) is a blatant insult to Jews. Prime Minister Bennett’s ‘moderate’ coalition partner and foreign minister, Yair Lapid, was no less outraged by the ice cream maker’s preference for common decency, describing their decision as a “shameful capitulation to antisemitism”.
At which point you have to ask whether the word ‘antisemitism’ has melted into a brownie coloured sticky pool of nothingness. If it has, that’s undoubtedly good news for antisemites everywhere, and very bad news for Jews. In contrast, Ben & Jerry’s self-definition “Peace, Love and Ice Cream” sounds remarkably clear and convincing, considering it’s a global brand.
