The move appears to be primarily an act of guerilla theater and a demonstration of base prejudice.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The most common expression of anti-Semitism on the left is the application of double standards to Jews and the Jewish state.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Look no further than Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s partnership with <\/span><span>Unilever, which acquired the ice cream company in 2000. There is no comparison between Israeli policy in the West Bank and the practices of the world&#8217;s greatest human rights abusers. Unilever happily does business everywhere from <\/span><span>occupied Northern Cyprus to occupied Tibet and Xinjiang, home to Uyghur concentration camps. <\/span><span>We won&#8217;t hold our breath for the ice cream boycott of China or Russia. <\/span><span>But hey, there are no Jews in Xinjiang.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This sort of casual anti-Semitism is not a one-off for Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s or its left-wing allies. The company defended its partnership with the anti-Trump and anti-Semitic Women&#8217;s March as three of its leaders, including the execrable Linda Sarsour, were pushed out thanks to their anti-Semitic remarks.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>First, the social justice warriors at Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benjerry.com\/whats-new\/2018\/10\/womens-march\/womens-march-partnership\"><span>assured us<\/span><\/a><span> the Women&#8217;s March had been &#8220;unequivocal&#8221; in their denunciations of anti-Semitism. Then the company issued a mealy-mouthed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.benjerry.com\/whats-new\/2018\/11\/anti-semitism-statement\"><span>statement<\/span><\/a><span> that said little about the Women&#8217;s March but declared, &#8220;Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s is neither anti-Semitic nor do we support anti-Semitism in any form.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Monday&#8217;s move gave the lie to that blather, and we urge friends of Israel and the Jewish people to vote with their spoons.
