Ben & Jerry's Sues Unilever for Censorship Over Gaza Stance
TL;DR Summary
Ben & Jerry's has filed a lawsuit against its parent company, Unilever, alleging censorship over its support for Palestinian refugees. The lawsuit claims Unilever has threatened Ben & Jerry's personnel and violated their merger agreement, which protects the ice cream company's social mission. This mission includes advocacy for issues like migrant justice and LGBTQ+ rights. The conflict stems from Ben & Jerry's decision to stop selling products in Israeli-only settlements, which led to Unilever selling the brand's intellectual property in those areas. Despite a 2022 settlement, Ben & Jerry's accuses Unilever of continuing to undermine its social initiatives.
