EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW with Yigal Dilmoni, CEO of the Yesha Council in Judea and Samaria in Israel, on the Ben & Jerry's boycott of Israel, and how US Jews and the KOF-K Kosher Agency Should Respond.Since July 19, no story has been more dominant in the Jewish world than the announcement by the Board of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, to boycott the “occupied territories” next year.In America, the largest Kosher stores immediately terminated all purchases from their Ben and Jerry’s distributors. Non-Kosher stores like Morton’s and Garistedes have reduced their freezer space for this ice cream brand.State Houses in 35 states, including New York, NJ, IL, TX, OK, and FL,  have threatened to terminate all contracts with Unilever, the parent company of BJ’s ice cream, as well as divest from all their pension funds.Susannah Levin, a graphic designer for BJ’s ice cream announced that she was quitting her position in protest their “despicable trend of anti Zionism.”For anyone who thought that there wouldn’t be any repercussions from this horrific antisemitic decision, the BJ Board director Anurdha Mittal, adamantly denied she was antisemitic, and the two pothead hippies from Vermont, too, wrote an op-ed in the NY Times, denying they were antisemitic, but “proud Jews who support Israel,” and that opposing some Israeli policies is NOT tantamount to antifeminism.Today, we are honored to have the CEO of the Yesha Council, Yigal Dilmoni, who represents Judea and Samaria in Israel, the VERY part of Israel targeted by the antisemitic Left, to tell us how he and the Israeli distributor of Ben & Jerry’s have responded, why the ice-cream distribution in Israel is NOT the same as in America, and hopefully, can tell us about his discussions with US groups, including the KOf-K Kosher certification.
