Ben & Jerry’s newest flavor is hypocrisy.
Axios reporter Alexi McCammond recently conducted an interview with progressive darlings and Ben & Jerry’s co-founders, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield. Cohen and Greenfield both touched on the company’s decision to stop selling its ice cream in what they call Occupied Palestinian Territory of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
>>> Watch: [The Ben & Jerry’s co-founders explain why they decided to stop selling ice cream in what they call Occupied Palestinian Territory.] To put it generously, the interview was a complete and unbridled disaster.
McCammond pressed the pair on Ben & Jerry’s decision to boycott certain parts of Israel, but not Georgia as a result of the state’s election integrity measures or Texas due to the state’s new pro-life laws. Ben & Jerry’s has spoken out on both state’s actions. Clearly disoriented by a reporter calling them out on their hypocrisy, the duo gave a muddled and confused response.
Though Cohen and Greenfield are no longer officially in charge of the company they founded, they still act as the public face of the business. It can generally be inferred that what they say reflects the values of the company. McCammond’s question is completely fair. The company, and by extension its founders, clearly views Georgia’s election integrity laws, Texas’ pro-life bill, and Israeli settlements as morally repugnant. Yet, only one merited a boycott. Why?
The answer, shocking as it may be to leftist consumers who praise Ben & Jerry’s for its socially progressive views, is that the ice cream giant cares more about its bottom line than gaining woke brownie points.
It is far easier to justify boycotting a small part of a country where Ben & Jerry’s does middling business than it is to boycott states in America which is where the company does a significant number of sales.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page.
