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.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
