FILE — In this March 23, 2010 file photo ice cream moves along the production line at Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream, in Waterbury, Vt. Ben & Jerry's ice cream said Monday, July 19, 2021, it was going to stop selling its ice cream in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The announcement was one of the strongest and highest-profile rebukes by a well-known company of Israel’s policy of settling its citizens on war-won lands. The settlements are widely seen by the international community as illegal and obstacles to peace. Founded in Vermont in 1978, but currently owned by consumer goods conglomerate Unilever, Ben & Jerry’s has not shied away from social causes. While many businesses tread lightly in politics for fear of alienating customers, the ice cream maker has taken the opposite approach, often espousing progressive causes.
Aida Touma-Sliman, an Israeli lawmaker with the Joint List of Arab parties, wrote on Twitter that Ben and Jerry’s decision Monday was “appropriate and moral.” She added that the “occupied territories are not part of Israel” and that the move is an important step to help pressure the Israeli government to end the occupation.
While Ben & Jerry’s products will not be sold in the settlements, the company will stay in Israel through a different arrangement.
'War-won'? You've got to be fucking kidding me. And we all thought the 1984 style propaganda would come just from the government.
'war-won lands'?
Who the fuck needs Blow & Job's ice cream? It is infected smegma leakage.
war-won land? honey, stolen land u mean. Palestinian’s stolen land.
I think this is a better pull-quote summary from the article 'By maintaining a presence in Israel, Ben & Jerry’s continues to be complicit in the killing, imprisonment and dispossession of Palestinian people and the flaunting of international law'
What gutter journalism
'The Security Council, emphasizing the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war...' -UN Security Council Resolution 242 'The Security Council, reaffirming that acquisition of territory by military conquest is inadmissible...' -UN Security Council Resolution 252
'War-won lands'. JFC. Tying yourself in a pretzel trying to avoid the words 'illegal settlements'.
Thank you Ben and Jerry's
This became Unilever
Guess who loves benandjerrys jizz cream.
I hope someone will war-won your a**es one day.
All non Jew-hating consumers everywhere should boycott Ben & Jerry products. There are plenty of other ice cream brands around that do not disrespect the Jewish people. nytimes guardian LosAngelesTimes TheTelegraph__ lemondefr SPIEGEL_English Reuters AFP
It is an Israeli settler colonialism not an Israel’s policy of settling its citizens on war-won lands sought by Palestinians. FreePalestine
Maybe Ben and Jerry’s should give their land in Burlington Vermont back to the Abenaki people. BenAndJerrysHypocrites
First the Israelis bombed you. Now others are thinking maybe they were right. There’s no reporters in the offices just look at the state of your reporting “war won”
War-won? How unprofessional
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Hypocrites Awful article FreePalaestine
Remind me what journalism is again? Oh yes, that’s right, sucking up to oppressive regimes, I nearly forgot!
Guys they literally blewed up your building!
War-won? Doesn’t that mean illegal occupation?
When I was teaching young writers not to editorialize at my college newspaper they would often say “well THEY do it” and point to stories in the NYT This is really shameful stuff, way worse than any of the examples those students cited
'War-won' lands. War for land is literally illegal under international law.
Celebration of anti Semitic here.
Guess your office was war won
Got some just for this
'War-won'. 🤦♂️
'War-won lands sought by Palestinians' is one helluva euphemism. Not sure about it being 'a taste of great journalism,' though,
'Israel’s policy of settling its citizens on war-won lands sought by Palestinians' ! All of this stupid sentence to avoid saying the illegal occupation? I just really hoped if your offices would have blown dozen times by them not just once.
I love you even more now Ben&Jerry's...the most ethical ice-cream manufacturers around...I encourage 1.9 billion Muslims around the globe to drop other ice-cream brands and buy Ben and Jerry's...Eid Mubarak 😊
So, you openly support colonization and genocide
Illegally occupied. Get your facts straight.
Ben and Jerry’s company is antisemitic people should quit buying their over priced ice cream
What about your office in Gaza ?
Didnt israel bomb your offices not so long ago?
Shame on you AP
joseffederman the headline on your AP article says 'Israel will aggressively respond to Ben & Jerry. I have friends that live in Vermont. Should they be concerned the IDF will bomb the Ben & Jerry factories or bulldoze their houses?
As an American Jew who opposes all oppression I applaud Ben and Jerry’s decision to stop selling their ice cream in the West Bank.
Bro. Israel is not gonna fuck you. Quite the contrary, they blew up your building 😑
Breaking News: Supreme Court of Israel orders the demolition of B&J factory in the US for being on the brithplace of King Soloman, unfortunately it is not war-won IOF
Y’a. Israel is going to give Ben & Jerry’s the Carvel treatment. They’re going to sic Cookiepuss on em’.
Why is Jason Kenney in the background in this picture?
How it started How it's going
joseffederman Gross piece by joseffederman and wringap. What is this 'war-won' bs? What is this lower-case 'east Jerusalem'?
Hey AP, change your name to REEK after the GoT character which is what you are.
You misspelled Israel's occupation. An occupation that is internationally recognized.
'Occupied'. The word you're looking for is 'occupied'. 'Israel's occupation of Palestinian lands' is a better, more succinct & truthful way to put it. Israel blew up your offices there, & you still can't just state the facts about the situation there. Smfh. 'Journalism'.
Your pro Israel coverage is despicable as usual. The West Bank is an occupied Palestinian land.
is Pro apartheid
It never was a Palestine territory because there is no such thing Palestine... It is a mob of Arabic tribes
TheKitchenista Excellent for Ben & Jerry's!
Come on man
Well done
Finally! If Ben and Jerry’s ice cream can’t bring a lasting peace to the Middle East, then truly nothing can.
Our HQ building was bombed fair and square. -AP
Good! The US gov could learn from Ben and Jerry’s.
Palestiniens rejoiced and handed out candies in the streets after the first tower of World Trade Center came down in 9/11. Looks like you picked the wrong side B&J. Shame on you. For us, ALL of your flavours are now barried in the B&J cemetary.
How do I like ben & jerrys but not you...
If by “war-won” you mean that Palestinians are being violently removed and killed by Israel
Hey AP, are you giving the Israelis a free pass here ? Have you forgotten the Lebensraum, the check points, the press silencing , the paramedic killing, the child shooting, the sipperhaft, the passport cloning, the village bulldozing ,the gerrymandering, the vaccine selfishness ?
War won land yeah right
Are you fkn kidding. Won land ? Really do you want a return to medieval days or are you a zionist reporter pretending to be neutral.
What?! Who wrote this insane headline?
'War-won' ? It's an illegal occupation and you are part of the problem for framing it like this.
“Hitler EARNED Poland through right of conquest!” -
War-won, you mean violently stolen?
You need to delete this tweet. By criminalising protest against Zionist Israel and calling the occupied territories 'war-won' you demonstrate bigotry, ignorance and flagrant disregard of international law. You're party to this conflict now and on the wrong side of it too.
Great decision by a great company! 👏
Fascinating that accurate headlines create such a stir amongst the Israel haters
All of Israel is an occupation of Palestine BDS supports the peaceful Boycott of Israel
'war-won' ..
I mean they literally blew up your building. And you still shilling for them?
They couldn’t work Apartheid or Genocide into a catchy ice cream flavor or headline?
war-won?
Good for you ben&jerry 👍 IsraeliApartheid
It’s about time that a differentiation be made between being critical of a countries policies from a balanced and humanitarian stand point and Anti-Semitism. They are not the same thing. For instance, criticising China’s treatment of the Uyghurs is not being racist.
Yet, you can be killed for being gay by HAMAS. Great at job B&J
There is no worst than occupation except for the people who try to legitimize it The 'Land of the free, home of the brave' should don't suppprt an apartheid regime
Still not a war, still a genocide. You are the AP and they bonded your building. Grow a fucking pair.
Holy crap, was this dictated by the Israeli government? Could you possibly be more biased, AP?
Everyone must boycott Israel until they end their racist apartheid regime, stop breaking international law, stop violating human rights, stop stealing lands, and stop acting as a rogue state that illegally attacks it's neighbors.
'war-won lands sought by Palestinians'. Your Hamas co-workers publishing blatant lies again? Who attacked & continues to attack Israel since 1948? They didn't manage to fulfill their dream: 'Annihilate Israel'. Israel beat them - otherwise I could not be writing this. THEY LOST!!
OCCUPATION
Jesus Christ what a headline
Good.
How about “God given”. Even AP could find a source for that one.
Good, I love Ben&Jerrys for this.
AP in Israel pocket once again. Grow a spine and earn some respect.
Ben and Jerry’s is dead to me.
Well, this happens when you claim -- when it suits you -- that private businesses have the right and obligation to do as they wish ('according to their values'). Then, suddenly, another business' values do not suits you, and you are 'outraged'.
Illegal occupation! Illegally evicting people who already live on that land. It's Israel who seeks that land ILLEGALLY! What the actual fuck is wrong with you? Is the AP so far in Israel's pockets that it's willing to overlook how Israel literally blew up one of it buildings!?!
'war-won lands' is a funny way of rephrasing 'occupied' ay?
So in the 21st century countries can win land by war?!!!!

Hey , What conspiracy is this again? How much did you get paid to write this? Leading wrong opinion, lol.
I hope the social media person that runs this account knows deep down that they work for an awful organisation. I hope one day you get the opportunity to work somewhere will more integrity. Good luck, friend!
'War-torn lands sought by Palestinians'? WTF is this kind of newspeak
Being 'war-won' does not make it legally the state of Israel's. We kind of decided that countries can't do that after WWII...
They're called the Occupied Territories, FFS.
War-won? Forgot to check international law?
This headline took someone who was both very skilled and very careless with language Why skirt fact these settlements are recognized internationally as illegal, likely active war crimes, when that is the basis of the article?.. The ‘why’ of Ben & Jerry’s decision, based on BDS
„War-won“
'... war-won [sic] lands sought [sic] by Palestinians...' Stay away from , people. It's cack.
Taking position against the occupation in the West-Bank is not saying that you are anti-Israel, it’s making clear THIS part of the regime is rejected. That is absolutely normal and just behaviour. Companies should make moral claims, because they mean something!
This is new terminology! Occupation is called land war-won !!!
War-won? Maybe try stolen through war crimes instead.
And I won’t ever purchase Ben and Jerry’s again
'War-won' isn't a thing anymore, right of conquest hasn't been recognized as legitimate in a century
Say OCCUPIED TERRITORIES!
How can you publish this Israeli propaganda and still call yourself a respectable news outlet. No lands we war won, they are illegally occupied. BDS FreePalestine
Ah, joseffederman & wringap there using the language of white supremacy and colonialism… “war won”! It’s literally INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED AS OCCUPIED.
'War won lands' Interesting phrasing, what do the UN say?
So if the Palestinians win their land back through war, western and Zionist propaganda outlets (such as yours) should not complain about European jews losing a land they occupied through massacres and terrorism in the first place.
Israel 'war-winning' press building sought by AP:
“War won lands” so that’s how your gonna put it?
War-won? Really?
So palistenin resistance are trying to win their land back .so simple.
AP Style Guide Notice: The word is 'occupied' you fucks.
Wow...
Hey , this is how you should stand up to those who bomb you ….
War won lands? Wow that is cringe bootlicking nonsense
They’re not gonna un-blow up your offices
Colonialism SettlerColonialism ApartheidIsrael BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS BDS
Very poor journalism 🤷🏻♂️
Please sir, what does war won mean?
Who’s the kid handling the account!? 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Why is Ben And Jerry's putting economic sanctions on the Palestinian people? If they are protesting the treatment of Palestinians, they shouldn't sell ice cream in Tel Aviv.
“War-won land”?!! No, it is called colonialism. It is occupation. Israel is a settler colonialist state.
occupied territory..not 'war won'..please change this misinformation
The Associated Propaganda discredits itself by pushing Israeli propaganda ' war won lands ' there ain't no such thing under international law
The wording is misleading, Palestinians own and live on the land for thousands of years, read the Bible. As for the anti Semitic, it doesn’t look proper for the Palestinians as they are Semitic themselves. People need to read more and educate themselves better
They bombed your offices so now you lick their boots with extra gusto huh.
'war-win lands' ah, the war crime of annexation, yes, I'm glad you agree that Israel is guilty of that, now, can you clear up whether you think that's a good or bad thing?
remember when they war-won your offices a couple months ago?
“War won lands”? Funny how Israel destroyed your office in Gaza but you still find ways to defend Israel
Ben Jerry's has more political savvy than ANY Democrat currently sitting in government.
The English word is “Occupied” not “war-won.”
'War-won'? The Nakba was a terrorist action. Tell me how 80 year olds being pushed on the street are combatants exactly.
Shame on you. It’s occupied by force . It wasn’t a football game.
Flying to Japan, beating the shit out of a family of 4 and changing the locks on their house, setting temples on fire, and bombing local media outlets because that’s good “war-won” land
Another day another joke of a headline by the zionists controlled AP
'war-won,' bc that's something modern civilization recognizes.
Respect to B&J
Is Bibi writing headlines for the AP now?
wow you guys really aren’t good at this topic are you
imperialists war-winning other people's land, good communists war-winning their own land, bad
It’s called a war crime when you transfer your population into occupied territories. Why mention ‘war won’ lands. Russia annexed Crimea there’s outrage and sanctions across Europe Israel annexes Palestinians land and … nothing happens
And they say capitalist Americans don’t care about money. I’d tell you to stay out of politics benandjerrys but that ship sailed a while ago.
The authors of this article would absolutely let Bibi fuck their wives. You guys get a new office yet?
War-won? Like in ‘Vikings’?
Maybe ben&jerry need to reading some history? Arabs, Jordanien started wars against Israel with the aim of killing all Jews and destroying Israel Jordan & Arabs lost this war and also lost the territories. Your ice cream doesn't taste good anyway, there is enough better ice cream
It is illegal to acquire territory by warfare. Have you no editors, ?
“War-won” sounds like something a cowardly news agency would say when they’re afraid of getting their building blown up again.
*illegally occupied
And by 'war-won' I assume you're talking about World War I and colonialism. FreePalestine from the river to the Sea 🇵🇸
Is ap twitter acct run by a mouth-foaming evangelical?
“War-won lands”!!!
Good on them
'war won lands'?
It’s weird that you’re kind of a big deal in the press world but no one has ever told you about the evil Israeli occupation of Palestine. Strange you’re not aware of all the slaughter of innocent Palestinian kids. Someone needs to introduce you to the internet.
Bravo, Benandjerrys! Brave and honorable decision to stand against apartheid. FreePalestine
Apartheid israel bombed your offices and still you want to kiss up to them?…it’s really pathetic
Typically biased useless and good for nothing press. Every human being on earth knows its illegally occupied land by Israel owned by Palestinians.
“Sought by Palestinians”?!
War won? Wtf
So they blew up your offices and now your just their propaganda mouthpiece, makes total sense
How many times in your entire history have you used the adjective 'war-won'?
Ben & Jerry’s… we will never support your crappy ice cream again! So many better non-antisemitism companies!
say the word 'occupied' or better yet say 'illegally occupied'
War-won ? Delete this account its been hacked by a fuck up.
This description is so messed up.
War? What war? It’s not a war it’s illegal occupation under international law and genocide
'War-won lands.'? Are you fucking kidding me with this?
Why refraining from naming things as they really are?! It is called occupied Palestine - FreePalestine
associated piss
'occupied' is only one more character but significantly more accurate
New flavor Adolph blue berry vanillina
The Palestinians are seeking land they already live on?
The AP should no longer try to spread propaganda. It’s seen as one of the highest-profile tabloids, sought by no one, to lose its dignity when Israel settled its bombs on their war won offices
Good - I'll buy twice as much Ben & Jerry's now.....
tell us on the doll where the word Palestine hurt you
Who can forget the Battle of the AP Offices? Such war, such winning.
On the bright side, the communist hippies will still sell to Cuba and Venezuela
Even Dersh thinks this tweet is a bit much.
'war-won lands sought by Palestinians' is a weird way of saying illegally annexed Palestinian land
secondmentions 'war-won lands sought by Palestinians'. Deserves a yellow card, or a red?
'war-won' pathetic ethnic cleansing whitewashing from the . Also ILLEGAL under international law - you know because of the whole WWII thing.
Language matters, the is lost.
1) According to intl. law (e.g.,the UN Charter) of the time (1945-67), Israel legally captured Arab territories in 67. Ergo, 🇮🇱 is not an occupying power. 2) 1988, the PLO 'established' 'Palestine' on a land controlled by 🇮🇱. One can't invade and occupy fictitious countries.
“War-won” just means occupied.
Okay, so now I can ignore AP.
Bro they bombed *your* building
War won lands sought by native Americans
who wroth this reticules word 👇👆? 😂war-won lands sought by Palestinians. him /her need go to school & study When was that war ?🤔 in Zohar 666 Verse Hashem want it to ?
Blimey ‘war-won lands’ ?these are ILLEGAL settlements built on Palestinian land. What planet are you on?
KovachDarlene Good!!!
How can it be a war when one of the participants doesn’t have a nation backing it? Aren’t the people of Palestine also governed by Israel? So wouldn’t that be “ethnically cleansed” lands? Not lands stolen in war but lands stolen through genocide!
'War-won lands' is new euphemism for colonization and occupation of Palestinian lands. Shameful, remember this is the same regime that bombed your offices. Have a spine.
Goodbye Ben and Jerry’s.
MerriamWebster is there a synonym for war-won?
It’s not a war, it’s illegal land grand and genocide
War won? Fuck off.
It is an illigal occupation and not a 'war-won lands sought by Palestinians'.
I think I live on war-won land.
'War won lands'. You might be a white supremacist.
Sorry, I thought they only blew up your office, I didn't know they re-staffed it too...
Ok , all fixed then !
Big F’ing whoop
i wonder what your colleagues who were blown up in Palestine have to say about this tweet
War-won? That's a strange way to say illegally occupied .
“War-won lands” pound, and I cannot emphasize this enough, sand
'War-won lands sought by Palestinians' should win some kind of award for obfuscation.
AP believe by doing this they won’t be bombed a second time...they are delusional.
This whole Israel/Palestine thing confuses me like seriously. Don’t the Israelites go by the Old Testament? If this is what the scripture says shouldn’t everyone be coexisting there with no issues? I don’t know much about this conflict so I could be wrong
War-won lands ? The heck you think this is a video game? This is an occupation you murderous liars.
Didnt those fuckers level your building
'war-won lands sought by Palestinians.' They are called occupied territories. Settling your citizens on occupied land is a crime under the geneva conventions. There is no such thing as 'war-won' lands. Annexing territory is also a crime under the geneva conventions. Do you get
Lol omg no that devastating. benandjerrys can suck it
Are you dogs?
I guess when they bombed your office it must have scared the holy shit out of you
The occupation is internationally recognized.... The IDF terrorists literally blew up your office lol
Not war won by any stretch of the imagination
'war-won lands sought by Palestinians.' They are literally evicting the Palestinians and taking over their homes.
Lol they could poop in your living rooms and you'd still be too weak to say 'occupation'
This is some North Korea level propaganda.
Does winning a war mean nothing these days?
hey wringap joseffederman , dunno if you heard but everyone could immediately tell the 'war-won' framing you picked up from literal war criminals and used in this article was laughable.
You can fit 'occupied Palestinian territories' into the 280-character limit without substituting in some horseshit.
wtf are 'war won lands'?
that’s a ton of words to just say Occupied Palestine 🙄
So Isreal bombs your office and your response is 'hail the bloodthirsty empire' and 'well those lands aren't stolen through systemic genocide and colonization they're... war-won!' ? Your organization has absolutely no journalistic integrity, and even less of a spine.
What a dumbass headline
War-won lands?! This is sick! Are you representing the MOB now ! Israeli occupation and apartheid is internationally recognized. FreePalestine SaveSheikhJarrah
Occupied bitches get your facts right
didn't they blow up your office
This is a depraved take
'War won territories' is an odd way to spell land occupied by imperialist aggressors.
Israel literally destroyed your offices
War-won AP offices
Remember when Israel bombed your office like a month ago, and still you lick the boot
Did the IDF write this tweet?
They blew up your offices like a month ago
what in the fuck do you mean 'war-won lands sought by Palestinians' ?!?!
THE UN CHARTER
Are you writing headlines like this because you don’t want them to blow up your office again?
ah, yes they have won your office land in a war also
“sought by” who now
'war-won lands'
Wow I’ll have to go buy some more.
excuse you what war won those lands
“War-won lands sought by Palestinians” - do you mean internationally-recognized illegal settlements on Palestinian land?
'''''''war won''''''''
settling where?
“war won lands” oh come on düde
Lol, you really want to start the 'war won' talking point? I guess Crimea is now war won land by Russia?
'war-won' lmfao
hey remember when they blew up your office lol
Good job!
'war won lands'
