An open letter to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield Men of ice cream, men of unjust deserts Follow Us Recommended Question of the Day ANALYSIS/OPINION: Dear Messrs. Cohen and Greenfield, Or is it okay if I call you Ben and Jerry? (You can call me Cliff!) So, anyhow, I read your op-ed in The New York Times, headlined, “We’re Ben and Jerry. Men of Ice Cream, Men of Principle,” and I thought you might like – or at least tolerate – a little feedback. First: You call yourselves supporters of Israel. I don’t doubt it. But you should be aware that the BDS (“boycott, divest and sanction”) movement with which you’re now associated openly seeks Israel’s extermination.
