Unilever and the Boycott

According to Pensions and Investments:

New York State Common Retirement Fund's investment in Unilever could be threatened by subsidiary Ben & Jerry's Israel boycott, the state comptroller's office warned the company.

Liz Gordon, executive director of corporate governance for the $254.8 billion New York State Common Retirement Fund, Albany, said in a July 23 letter to Unilever CEO Alan Jope that the fund's trustee, State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli "is troubled and concerned" about reports that Ben & Jerry's is involved in Israel boycott activities, and that if they are true, the pension fund will include Unilever on a list of companies with investment restrictions.

In 2016, the comptroller's office adopted a policy to review companies in its portfolio that engage in "Boycott, Divest, Sanction" (BDS) activities against Israel, because they "may face legal, reputational and financial risks." Companies determined to be engaging in such activities may be subject to investment restrictions or even exits, the policy said, and concerns "will be resolved through engagement with the company or by termination of the relationship."

At the time the policy was announced, the pension fund had invested about $532 million in Israel-based opportunities, and Mr. DiNapoli said that "Israel remains an attractive place to invest and we look forward to finding new opportunities there. We're putting companies engaged in BDS activities on notice that there will be consequences if their anti-Israel activities expose our investments to financial harm."

Ben & Jerry's Israel boycott also caught the attention of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. In a July 22 letter to Ash Williams, executive director and chief investment officer of the $245.8 billion Florida State Board of Administration, Tallahassee, Mr. DeSantis asked that Unilever be placed on a list of "scrutinized" companies because of the Israel boycott. If it continues, the board "must refrain from acquiring any and all Unilever assets," the governor said, calling it "a matter of law and principle" because it discriminates against Israel.

State Board of Administration spokesman John Kuczwanski said in an email that the board is engaging with Uniliver, "and will be discussing Florida's Scrutinized Companies that Boycott Israel list in detail on a call later this week."

Antisemite of the Week

According to www.stopantisemitism.org:

Anuradha Mittal is the driving force behind Ben & Jerry’s decision to boycott over 800,000 Jews who live in 140 communities in various parts of Israel. Mittal serves as head of Ben & Jerry's Board of Directors and Vice President of Ben & Jerry’s Foundation Inc. and has a long history of supporting antisemitic causes and pushing narratives vilifying the Jewish nation.

In addition to her role at Ben & Jerry’s, Mittal is also the Founder and Executive Director of the Oakland Institute, a policy think tank with a strong anti-Israel stance. In 2017, Mittal co-authored a series of 9 reports by the Oakland Institute called "Palestine for Land & Life." The reports falsely accused Israel of apartheid, colonialism, and land grabbing.

Mittal also uses her role at the Ben & Jerry’s Foundation to funnel money through the Oakland Institute to fund antisemitic projects such as Badil, a Palestinian group with ties to terror and a history of vile Jew-hatred that includes publishing Nazi-era cartoons.

Our Tolerance has Ended

According to the NY Post:

A nonprofit group says its plans to knock off Ben & Jerry’s in Israel — and it’s itching to go to court if the ice cream maker tries to stop it.

The Shurat HaDin Law Center in Tel Aviv has applied to distribute Ben & Jerry’s frozen desserts in the West Bank under the name “Judea and Samaria’s Ben & Jerry’s” — arguing that the Vermont-based company forfeited its trademark rights when it said it would be freezing sales in “the Occupied Palestinian Territory.”

If approved, it would sell iconic Ben & Jerry’s flavors like Chunky Monkey and Cherry Garcia in the region — as well as new flavors like “Frozen Chosen People,” according to a mockup of the rival brand, which looks just like original except that it includes a pic of Theodor Herzl, the bushy-bearded father of the modern Zionist movement.-more

Biden's New Problem

Israel's new government demands that a proposed Palestinian state be democratic and peaceful.

According to J-Wire:

Lapid-Bennett consensus buries Biden’s renewed two-state solution bid

July 19, 2021 by David Singer
The likelihood of President Biden being the American President finally overseeing an end to the 100 years old conflict between Arabs and Jews – promisingly advanced by President Trump’s Abraham Accords – was dashed this week when Israel’s Foreign Minister – and its next Prime Minister in 26 months’ time – Yair Lapid – told the EU Foreign Affairs Council: “A future Palestinian state must be a democracy that seeks peace with Israel” -more
