Liberal students want to ban liberal Ben & Jerry’s from campus over Israeli ties

Students at Vassar College put forth a resolution on Monday urging their school to cut ties with “Ben & Jerry’s” because of the company’s “contractual relationship with an Israeli franchise that manufactures ice cream.”

“Despite the company’s Social Mission and history of supporting progressive causes, Ben & Jerry’s continues to tie its franchise to these illegal settlements. In short, while apartheid ensues in historic Palestine, Ben & Jerry’s ‘peace & love’ ice cream continues to pass through Israeli checkpoints, and be transported on Jewish-only roads to be sold in Jewish-only settlements,” the Vassar Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions Coalition (VBDSC) wrote in its resolution.
