Driven by the dire need to stop the carnage in Gaza, the Palestinian-led movement to stop Israel’s war is drawing parallels with the Vietnam anti-war movement.¹ In line with this historic time, Ben & Jerry’s, the company that brought us “Peace, Love, & Ice Cream” founded by two Jewish activists, is joining the call for an end to war — a permanent ceasefire.²   Ben & Jerry’s is forging a path for more companies to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. Take a moment to show them support. B&J’s is the first major corporation to join the many thousands of small businesses that support ceasefire. Many of whom took part in the Global Strike in December.³   We’re writing today because the last time Ben & Jerry’s followed its principles and shut down operations in the occupied West Bank, it faced violent threats and an onslaught of backlash. Please take a moment and support Ben & Jerry’s call for a permanent ceasefire.
