That’s entirely consistent with their announcement. Stop selling in the Occupied Territories but still sell in Israel.

Ben & Jerry's to 'end sales of our ice cream in the Occupied Palestinian Territory'
- Thread starter Charlemagne
- Start date
Its terrorism.
Yup, Israel says Ben and Jerry's now also a terrorist organization like the UN, HRW, B'tselem and pretty much the rest of the world.
Cold, cold, sweet terrorism.
After Ben & Jerry’s snub, Herzog calls Israel boycotts a ‘new kind of terrorism’
PA blasts president’s characterization, says ‘the occupation is terrorism itself’; left-wing MK protests use of loaded term to describe an ‘ice cream boycott’

Every time you claim that you prove you have no idea what apartheid means.
My question? Are you so colonial that you can't accept what Palestinian organizations ask?
And yes, the solution you want to impose on the people there is the choice of only 6% of Palestinians while a two state peace is the choice of 46%. Are you still having trouble figuring out which number is bigger?
And no, your "real numbers" are interpretation in the summary. The poll data is the actual data, just like when their polls say 52% of Palestinians support "attacks on Israeli civilians inside Israel".
But I'm not surprised you have no response to Palestinians hating your elitist idea, no response for Palestinians who support violence over peace, and no response to over half of Palestinians supporting what is the definition of terrorism.
And as I said, how does this accomplish anything other than deny Palestinians access to B&J?
And as I said, thats exactly what the Apartheid South African government said about boycotts..,you will harm the black population. It’s such worn out logic, but you embrace it. And keep repeating it.
So you don't have an explanation for how denying ice cream to Palestinians is going to make things better?
You admitted yourself that Israel isn't being boycotted.
Don’t worry, Ben and Jerry’s isn’t denying the Palestinians anything. Just the racist settlers. But, as you yourself admitted, the racist settlers can go back to their own country to get their ice cream. And again, thanks for that tacit admission. The occupied territories do not belong to them. Hopefully Ben and Jerry’s gives a franchise to the Palestinians.

Tell that to Human Rights Watch.
A Threshold Crossed
The 213-page report, “A Threshold Crossed: Israeli Authorities and the Crimes of Apartheid and Persecution,” examines Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. It presents the present-day reality of a single authority, the Israeli government, ruling primarily over the area between the Jordan River and...

A regime of Jewish supremacy from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea: This is apartheid
More than 14 million people, roughly half of them Jews and the other half Palestinians, live between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea under a single rule. The common perception in public, political, legal and media discourse is that two separate regimes operate side by side in this...
Tell that to the UN.
Israel imposes 'apartheid regime' on Palestinians: U.N. report
A U.N. agency published a report on Wednesday accusing Israel of imposing an "apartheid regime" of racial discrimination on the Palestinian people, and said it was the first time a U.N. body had clearly made the charge.

No, you are intentionally using the wrong question to misrepresent Palestinian views.
Typical of your racial supremacy.
This is the number posted in the report you linked to.
You admit that the settlements aren't in Israel.
That's a start.
Next you have to support giving Palestine back to Palestinians.
Free Palestine!
Not siding with settlers at all (there or anywhere) but the land grab was the root cause of war, not a crime resulting from war...
Zionism is a settler colonial movement.
The settlements and theft of Palestine were its goals.
Ben & Jerry is not alone
“Ben & Jerry’s is far from alone in taking a stand. Earlier this month, Norway’s largest pension fund announced it had divested assets in 16 companies that work in the occupied West Bank, including the telecom equipment giant Motorola, and the owner of the McDonald’s Israeli franchise has refused to venture into settlement communities at all.”

Mainline church labels Israel an Apartheid state, and more churches are sure to follow – Mondoweiss
“We reject Israel’s apartheid system of laws and legal procedures,” the United Church of Christ stated at its general synod, in a resolution approved by 83 percent of members despite an appeal by the American Jewish Committee.

Look at their announcement. Not the Occupied Territories. The Occupied Palestinian Territory.
Bottom line, Ben and Jerry's doesn't taste enough better to be worth a buck more a pint. What kind of a wimp eats ice cream by the pint anyway??...
Lets see. They are still selling in Israel but not the West Bank. Settlers, being Israeli citizens can drive over the Green line. Arab Israelis who live in the West Bank, being Israeli citizens can drive over the Green Line and buy ice cream. Meanwhile Palestinians won't be able to get any unless they have a job in Israel.
Who is this decision harming?
