Anuradha Mittal, the board chair of Ben & Jerry’s on Tuesday denied that the company’s decision to stop selling its ice cream in Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria was anti-Semitic.
“I am proud of Ben & Jerry’s for taking a stance to end sale of its ice cream in the Occupied Palestinian Territory,” tweeted Mittal.
“This action is not anti-Semitic. I am not anti-Semitic. The vile hate that has been thrown at me does [not] intimidate me. Pls work for peace – not hatred!” she added.
