Israel’s war on (‘anti-Semitic’) ice cream

Israel is waging a frontal attack against ice cream – and it is losing.

Israel is going through a surrealistic summer meltdown over yummy ice cream. Its leaders have launched a chilling assault on Ben & Jerry’s, the world-famous American brand, after the company decided to boycott its illegal settlement in occupied Palestine earlier this month. Israel’s Prime Minister Naftali Bennet condemned the “anti-Semitic” decision, and his foreign minister, Yair Lapid, labeled it a “shameful surrender to anti-Semitism”.
