Unilever, Ben & Jerry’s parent company, is cutting millions of dollars in funding for the Vermont-based ice cream chain’s foundation after the latter refused to turn over audit documents about donations to pro-Palestinian groups, Semafor reported.
The foundation trustees “have continued to resist basic oversight,” which “represents a marked departure from the norms of charitable organizations, for whom transparency is typically a bedrock operating principle,” Peter ter Kulve, a Unilever executive, wrote to Ben & Jerry’s executives. More
About time!
I have never bought Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and never will. They can go to hell as far as I am concerned.
I’m not surprised the commies are supporting the terrorists. I am surprised Unilever is not letting them get away with it. I’m am surprised Ben and Jerry’s hasn’t come out with scrotum flavored ice cream for there other supporters.
Mmmm scrotum.
Sounds yummy.
I can’t say that I care very much, and I admit I can’t be bothered to go look at Unilever’s web site, but how I react to this depends on who else Unilever supports with the ‘community involvement’ part of their budget. It’s possible that the money that used to go to the despicable Ben & Jerry’s will now instead go to some even more despicable group such as Planned Non-Parenthood.
At first I thot the headline said: “Unilever cuts off Ben & Jerries… but then I realized that couldn’t be possible since Ben & Jerry don’t have any!
Well, I could boycott b&j’s, but that wouldn’t be very effective since I have never ever bought one product of their’s…ever!
Proud to say we’ve never bought Ben n Jerkys, but we don’t even know anyone who buys it.
I assume that charity would be the Communist International?
