Statement
Issues: Business and Consumers
Congressman Juan Vargas (CA-51) released the following statement regarding Ben & Jerry's boycott.
"Ben & Jerry's boycott of hundreds of thousands of Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem is concerning, as it aims to de-legitimize the Jewish state. At a time where four Arab countries have ended their decades long boycotts of, and signed peace agreements with Israel, Ben & Jerry's has decided to enact its own boycott on Israel. We should all seek to bring Israelis and Palestinians closer together; this decision seeks to keep them further apart."
