After decades of Arab terrorist attacks targeting Israeli civilians in what many consider a genuine attempt at ethnic cleansing, it is difficult to imagine any Jew, secular or Orthodox, supporting the perpetrators of the second deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust.
Yet Ben Cohen, co-founder of the iconic Ben & Jerry’s ice cream brand, has struck out on his own to create a Palestine-themed ice cream after the parent company, Unilever, reportedly blocked the release of the flavor. Cohen, a Jewish pro-Palestinian sympathizer like his buddy Bernie Sanders, has unveiled plans for a watermelon-flavored sorbet meant to symbolize Palestinian solidarity. He frames it as a call for peace and reparations and has invited fans to help design the pint. The sorbet’s colors—red, green, black, and white—mirror the colors of the Palestinian flag, making it a central symbol in the campaign.
In Cohen’s Own Words…
Here I am making something that’s actually pretty important. You know, the scale of suffering of the Palestinian people over the last two years has been unimaginable. So the ceasefire is a welcome relief, but there’s much more work to do to rebuild.
Palestinians are still living under occupation, still recovering from years of suffering, especially Palestinian children. They deserve dignity, safety, and the same rights that every human being should have. You know, a while back, Ben and Jerry’s tried to make a flavor to call for peace in Palestine, to stand for justice and dignity for everyone, like Ben and Jerry’s always have.
But they weren’t allowed to. They were stopped by Unilever Magnum, the company that owns Ben and Jerry’s. Just like when Ben and Jerry’s tried to stop selling ice cream in the occupied territories, they were blocked again by their parent company.
So I’m doing what they couldn’t. I’m making a watermelon flavored ice cream that calls for permanent peace in Palestine and calls for repairing all the damage that was done there. And I’m doing this to shine a light on the experience of Palestinian people, and children in particular, so the world does not look the other way.
But I need your help. I mean, all I got here is some watermelon and a plain pint container. We need you to help come up with the other ingredients for this sorbet and the name for it as well.
As for this plain pint, you know, you need to have a design on the pint. Revolutions are creative. Let’s see some of that creativity.
So thanks for listening and watching and doing whatever else you were doing while you were doing this. – Ben Cohen

Bottom Line
Hamas issued its original charter on 18 August 1988, calling for the destruction of Israel, framing the conflict in religious terms, and using highly inflammatory language. Hamas has been launching rockets and missiles at Israel since the early 2000s, shortly after it gained control over parts of Gaza — but the campaign of regular rocket fire really escalated after Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005. Polling suggests that support in Gaza for the October 7 attacks was roughly 70% shortly after the terrorist attack.
Had Cohen launched his product after the area had been pacified and rebuilding commenced, I would not have complained. However, the battle continues, and Cohen is just another pro-Palestinian sympathizer who happens to be Jewish.
We are so screwed when Americans aid and abet terrorists.
