Ben & Jerry’s embraces Linda Sarsour in launch of new “Resist” ice cream
Money goes to support pro-Farrakhan Women’s March and other anti-Trump groups.
Only days after a Trump hater massacred dozens of Jews, leftist company Ben & Jerry’s has decided to announce they teamed up with the Women’s March to promote a resistance themed ice cream flavor.
You know, the group led by notorious anti-Semitic Linda Sarsour and others who continue to praise and adore anti-Semitic Louis Farrakhan.
Ben & Jerry’s told the Independent Journal Review they’re “comfortable” partnering with the Women’s March despite their ties to Louis Farrakhan.
I would stop buying Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, but I never liked it much to begin with. Luckily I live in Oklahoma and can indulge in Braum’s ice cream.
Anti-Semitic Women’s March Leaders are Pro-Farrakhan
On Sunday, a man who hates President Donald Trump and the Jewish people, murdered 11 Jews at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA.
So it totally makes sense to release a new ice cream flavor a few days later to show your resistance to Trump while partnering with a group that has leaders who have ties with Farrakhan.
We are proud to announce that our newest flavor, Pecan Resist, supports the important work of @netargv, @womensmarch, @ColorOfChange, and @HonorTheEarth. Join them here >> https://t.co/b7mu4tVPYE pic.twitter.com/8fFJ6vL3vF

Ben & Jerry’s wrote:
We can peacefully resist the Trump administration’s regressive and discriminatory policies and build a future that values inclusivity, equality, and justice for people of color, women, the LGBTQ community, refugees, and immigrants. Pecan Resist supports four organizations that are working on the front lines of the peaceful resistance, building a world that supports their values.
From IJR:
When asked directly about the Women’s March close ties to Farrakhan, a spokeswoman for Ben & Jerry’s told IJR they may not agree with all the groups they partner with, but they are “comfortable” with having different views, even “controversial” ones:
“We’re comfortable with the idea that the people and the causes we partner with may have a point of view different from our own on some issues. They can be controversial, just as we can. Linda may not agree with everything we’ve done. But the work that she has done to promote women’s rights, as co-chair of the Women’s March, is undeniably important and we are proud to join her in that effort.”
They included a statement from Women’s March’s Linda Sarsour: “We recommit ourselves to dismantling anti-Semitism and all forms of racism.”
If you honestly believe what the company and Sarsour say, then please tell me what you’re smoking because let’s not forget that Sarsour basically worships Rasmea Odeh, the terrorist who murdered two Jewish students.
Congratulations on associating your brand with a woman who embraced convicted terrorist murderer of two Jewish university students, Rasmea Odeh https://t.co/8MjAsuU96i pic.twitter.com/P1QXRAjip4

Also, if you’re a female that doesn’t agree with Sarsour?

The Washington Free Beacon has other examples. Sarsour once tweeted that “nothing is creepier than Zionism.” She spoke at a Nation of Islam rally in 2015 and attacked Israel. She also downplayed anti-Semitism because while it is “something that impacts Jewish Americans, it’s different than anti-black racism or Islamophobia because it’s not systemic.”
But she’s TOTALLY down with eliminating anti-Semitism, y’all!
It’s not just Sarsour. Tamika Mallory doesn’t hide her love for Farrakhan. In February, she attended a Nation of Islam rally that included Farrakhan giving another speech that demeaned Jews. He praised Mallory during this speech and she applauded him. She once called the anti-Semitic preacher one of the greatest of all time.
Oh, she has claimed that she will fight against anti-Semitism. She hates it so much that she urged people to boycott Starbucks because of the company’s ties to the Anti-Defamation League.
People continue to leave the Women’s March since the leaders will not separate themselves from Farrakhan.

“Orange Man Bad!“
Agreed. That is the dumbed-down version for people like you.
Awww, here let me give you a link to help with that.

Remember that new “Ben N Jerry” flavor is pronounced
“Pee-Can”…..
“Resist Pants!” – Hillary and Bill!
It wouldn’t sting if it wasn’t true.
Ben and Jerry as so deep in the bubble that they can’t even see out, which explains their blindness to the true facts.
disgusting – we all need to stop purchasing their products –
if and kosher agency gives them a Hechsher, it needs to be withdrawn.
they are embracing a Jew hater.
apropos the previous post – B & J need to be put in a ‘time out’.
Kashrus agencies don’t do politics. If the product is kosher you can’t expect them to pull the hechsher.
They know their target demographic. Triggered, depressed, sobbing carton eating liberals from election night 2016.
And eating themselves to death on ice cream?????
but of course they did.
once a scumbag, always a scumbag.
They will suffer no repercussions as their target market is morbidly obese women who love other women (as non-pejorative as I can make it). The rest of us will just lose a few pounds and live longer as a result.
I guess Jerry Greenfield didn’t take Bob Neil’s “Germany since 1914” history class at Oberlin, otherwise he’d be able to see that the antifa are really the “fa.”
One thing you never see at a Trump rally is an obese person – not even on the podium.
They do NOT care- they sold the company to UNILEVER (the same company that owns Dove soap, Hellman’s mayo and lots of soap products) years ago, so they got theirs and just love putting out p.c. B.S.
I LOVE the Blue Bell Ice Cream tweet- “The Little Creamery in Brenham, Tx”- better ice cream anyway!
MajorWood, didn’t you just describe Hillary?
Oops!!!
Talk about “shunning” (from another stream at LI)…. considering where the money is going… and “eat at your own risk”/
So if someone kills two Zionists named Ben and Jerry, then I guess they can be Ben and Jerry’s new hero.
Of course they know that the targets will be somebody else’s kids not theirs
Both came from Jewish families and backgrounds, but have, like too many with similar stories, adopted liberalism and now leftism/big government as their godhead. Big government have always treated the Jew as disposable. Look at the EU and its decades-long program of bringing more and more Muslims into Europe. They’re bringing in Muslims! Self-declared enemies of the Jew who find their Jew-hatred in their Qur’an, instructions which Muslims have followed for 1400 years. Czarist Russia targeted the Jew, so did Communist Russia. The 3d Reich’s intolerance is well-known.
Sarsour’s hatred is well-known among the aware, but obviously neither Ben nor Jerry are particularly aware, but I’m sure they’d consider themselves well “woke.”
I suspect B&J new flavor tastes quite bitter, but I’ll never know for sure because they’ve gotten their last dime from me. If I was a shareholder in that company….
According to the B&J site, “Pecan Resist” is “Chocolate Ice Cream with White & Dark Fudge Chunks, Pecans, Walnuts & Fudge-Covered Almonds”.
My microaggression-sensing brain reads that and sees, “white and black bits, separately swimming in a brown-flavored world, filled with highly-allergenic nuts.”
But maybe I’m reading too much into it. 😉
>>> “Alongside all those nutty chunks, this pint packs a powerful message under its lid: together, we can build a more just and equitable tomorrow. We can peacefully resist the Trump administration’s regressive and discriminatory policies and build a future that values inclusivity, equality, and justice for people of color, women, the LGBTQ community, refugees, and immigrants.” <<<
Apparently, Ben and Jerry's equitable tomorrow excludes diabetic, lactase deficient, tree nut allergic people.
h8rs.
Braum’s also has the best egg nog, period.
Ben & Jerry’s?
Isn’t that the same company that decided back in the day that the highest-paid employee isn’t allowed to make more than 5 (five) times the lowest-paid employee?
With the result that after Ben Cohen retired, they could not find a qualified CEO willing to work for ~$100K?
And having to sell to another company (Unilever) that doesn’t publish company officers’ salaries?
And (presumably) eventually abandoning the rule entirely, as it’s unsustainable? (I enjoy using that word, so loved by Leftists, to explain why Leftist policies don’t work.)
I see this going about the same direction.
I do love me some Moose Tracks occasionally, as a treat, but I’m not normally willing to spend close to $4 for a pint of ice cream. Not when I can get a gallon of good vanilla and a box of Oreos (or M&Ms, or Reese’s, or whatever) for less than that and run them through the stand mixer, and not send my money to America-hating Muslim supremacists.
Oh, and look, it has a “kosher” dietary certification.
What rabbi signed off on that?
Most Ben & Jerry flavors are certified kosher by Kof-K. If the ingredients are kosher there’s no reason for the agency to turn down their business.
They have been a long time supporter of convicted cop killer Mumia Jamal.
http://www.npdf.org/why-americans-should-still-boycott-ben-jerrys-ice-cream-products/
Perhaps they simply believe that Mumia Jamal’s conviction was unjust. That never happens?
There is no chance at all that he did not murder that cop, and nobody honestly believes he didn’t murder him. There is simply no reason to doubt the verdict. All of his supporters simply don’t care.
Yea, let’s see this Pot Bellied Savage was found at the scene shot by the cops gun and your gun is right there with 5 spent cartridges and the officer shot 5 times in the back and head. Oh and the gun had his prints on it. Yep sounds unjust to me.
The only unjust thing is that the Pot Bellied Savage is still breathing and sucking up tax dollars.
Somehow, I’m sure I’ll be able to resist that icy inducement toward personal growth.
Disgusting — absolutely disgusting.
Anglo-Dutch Consumer products giant Unilever owns Ben & Jerry’s.
Why can’t that nasty woman go cause problems in Saudi? Something tells me she wouldn’t have lasted nearly this long…
Why would she go there? This is her country, so she makes trouble here.
Why? Is something wrong with the leadership in Saudi Arabia? Not according to our President.
Anti-semitic Jews… what an absolute treasure. Screw those guys.
Ben and Jerry don’t own the brand, anymore — they cashed out to Unilever, the multinational consumer products giant.
Which, frankly, makes this product release even more offensive, because, corporations and their management are usually pretty sensitive to image-management and to public relations damage caused by associating with and co-promoting products with notorious and unabashed anti-Semites.
It might not be worth a damn, but, I e-mailed Unilever’s U.S., U.K. and Netherlands offices, expressing how completely indefensible, outrageous and offensive this product release is.
Here’s Unilever’s contact number:
1-800-298-5018 Monday-Friday 8:30 AM-6:00 PM Eastern Time.
If they are that comfortable with Farrakhan, maybe they should rename the ice cream “FarraPecan”?
PLO Cookie Dough
At first I was like “Sarsour? They cannot be serious!” And I was wrong…
When Solomon died the kingdom of Israel split in two. The northern kingdom became the kingdom of Israel, and the southern kingdom became the kingdom of Judah. In the North they quickly became Idol worshippers, while in the south they stayed true to their faith.
As Solomon said, there is nothing new Under the Sun. Leftist Jews have become Idol worshippers, worshiping the almighty dollar and platitudes from their Progressive friends. The northern kingdom was conquered by Assyria and the ruling dynasty was never heard from again, being utterly destroyed.
What do these leftist Jews think is going to happen? Their enemies aren’t going to say “leave them alone, they aren’t REAL Jews…”
Vile, Jew hating bigots gots to vile Jew hate.
Jen & Berry remind me of the Barstucks franchise: Looney left hypocrites who get rich from capitalism & private property, yet criticize capitalism & private property and the Constitutional liberties from which they grows.
Jewish Jew haters- Ben & Jerry’s
Boycott these assholes.
They should be sued by Babs Streisand’ for getting fat?
Antisemitic Jews, male feminists, White Black nationalists.
We live in a Kosher bacon world.
Have NEVER purchase B&J Ice Cream because when they first came out they announced their libnut bona fides. Just one more proof I made the right decision.
The sheer stupidity of companies that do crap like this just shocks me.
What can they possibly think they gain from this? What demographic do they think is going to buy more ice cream because of this?
This is an action with absolutely zero upside.
The only ice cream with cockroach parts as the main ingredient.
Guaranteed termite free.
Trump suspended the regulation against including cockroach parts in food. It was hurting the economy.
George Carlin did that joke in 1974

You mean people still actually eat this overpriced soft serve?
So Been and Jerry fully support and cheer on the idea that Jews are not even human and woman are nothing more than the property of men…noted
OK. I’m no longer buying Ben and Jerry’s.
What’s their new flavor, Treblinka Totally Baked?
It doesn’t get much sicker than this.
Boycott their sicko stores and shame their sicko brand as if you’re life depends on it. If you’re in the cross-hairs likes of Nazi linda sarsour, it does.
Linda Sarsour in Houston: Don’t “Humanize” the Jews in Israel:

This is it, man.
I will miss my Coffee Tofffee Bar Crunch ice cream, but it’s a small sacrifice. I will also do my best to not buy any further Unilever products. It’s not entirely the Jew hatred; it’s the sheer stupidity of their board of directors.
i always thought the ice cream’s name was “Benin Jerry,” after the African country that was Marxist-Leninist in the seventies till about 1980.
I wish I could remember where I first saw the line, but I cannot claim to have invented this one. It is, however, true: “Woke, triggered, and stupid is no way to go through life.”
How does “the LGBTQ community” and “Linda Sarsour” get tied together? If Linda Sarsour’s preferred world came to be the former would all be executed.
Label seems to show three guys resisting their birth sex.
