Ben & Jerry’s appears intent on destroying its bottom line not only in Israel, but here in the U.S., with its announced boycott of the so-called West Bank. On Monday, the ice cream maker proclaimed it would no longer be selling in the “Occupied Palestinian Territory.”
Several American grocers have responded to Ben & Jerry’s boycott by pulling the company’s products.
Avi Kaner — co-owner of Morton Williams Supermarkets chain located in the New York City metro area — was one who responded. “Our supermarkets have taken action against Ben & Jerry’s, which is boycotting Jewish communities that are at the center of a territorial dispute in Israel, including the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem — inhabited by Jews for over 3,000 years,” he tweeted.
Several other grocery stores in the New York City area and beyond have stated they will be removing Ben & Jerry’s products from their shelves.
Former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tweeted, “Now we Israelis know which ice cream NOT to buy.”

I bought a couple of small, single-serve containers once at the commissary just so we could say we'd tried the "big, new flavors". That's been a few years back. 
Good for them!
