Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream is on my No-Go list. They are welcome to be as woke as their little liberal hearts can be. I am under no obligation to purchase their product. Looks like other people are coming to the same decision. From Reuters:
Illinois bars state pensions from owning Unilever over Israel
An Illinois board overseeing state employee pension funds on Wednesday voted to bar funds from holding Unilever PLC shares due to sales limits by the company's Ben & Jerry's ice cream brand in Israel, joining at least five other U.S. states moving to restrict the stock.
A representative for the Illinois Investment Policy Board said it voted 7-0 at a meeting on Wednesday "to add Unilever to its prohibited entity list," following similar moves by other states including New York and New Jersey.
Good. Anti-Semitism is not a virtuous corporate value. Never has been. Never will.
