Ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's co-founder Jerry Greenfield has quit the company, as the divide with parent Unilever grew over its stance on the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

His partner, Ben Cohen, shared Greenfield's open letter on X on Wednesday, saying it was a "difficult decision." Greenfield had been with the company for 47 years.

Being a Jew and siding with Palestine/hamas is peak mental illness

So the far-left maker of ice cream who sold out to the man is now upset the man wants him to shut up about his far left activism and just make ice cream?

If you zoom in on the ice cream you will see that it’s a special Kamala ice cream, So not only are they gay but they’re also fricking retarted.

They had to know when they sold to Unilever that they weren’t going to allow them to continue a lot of the activism they engaged in (through the product itself).

They’ve always been political. They got bit by choosing capitalism over their activism.

Those two out of touch judgemental nutbags lived their entire lives in their lilly white enclave in Vermont and look down on the rest of us for all of our horrific isms. I would like to see their world outlook after a couple years in Somalia or Bastrop LA.

Loved the ice cream but we had to stop buying it a couple years ago. Not political enough for our family.

I really cannot understand why so many people are so wrapped up by this.
