Ben & Jerry's, the only good corporation, is once again taking a stand for its principles at the risk of profit. On Monday, the ice cream maker announced that it would stop selling its products in occupied Palestinian territory, cutting off the supply of frozen desserts available in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
"We believe it is inconsistent with our values for Ben & Jerry's ice cream to be sold in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT)," the company said in a statement. Ben & Jerry's said it will not be renewing a license agreement with a distributor that sells its ice cream in the region. The change will go into effect at the end of next year, when the current agreement expires. According to the company, it will continue to sell its ice cream in Israel for the time being.
