A lawyer for the Israeli distributor of Ben & Jerry's says that other corporations should 'take note' of Unilever's decision to allow its distributor to continue selling the ice cream.
Israel distributor, American Quality Products Ltd., said that other corporations should "take note" of Unilever's decision to allow the company to continue distributing ice cream within the country, saying it should be a warning to other companies not to engage in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.
The decision would have ended American Quality Products 34-year business relationship with Unilever's subsidiary Ben and Jerry's, all with the intent to "boycott Israel," according to the lawsuit. Alyza Lewin, President of the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law, who represented the owner of American Quality Products, Avi Zinger, told FOX Business that Unilever's action should send a message to other corporations who might be thinking about engaging in any boycott against Israel.
, and also for the Israelis and Palestinians who are involved in the supply chain process for the company. Unilever appears to have made the decision to sell its ice cream business in Israel without the approval of Ben & Jerry's, who tweeted today that they "do not agree with it."
