MK Simcha Rothman (Religious Zionism) commented “Congratulations to Ben & Jerry’s for lifting the boycott of Judea and Samaria!”

“From the very first day of Ben & Jerry’s decision, I made it clear that the pressures and sanctions should be directed at the parent company Unilever, and not at the Israeli Ben & Jerrys company. I am glad that the pressure exerted by the friends of Israel around the world, and many countries in the United States, on Unilever, has led to the abolition of the boycott of the settlers of Judea and Samaria.”

“The BDS movement is modern anti-Semitism, and it must be fought with all the tools at our disposal.”

Diaspora Affairs Minister Nachman Shai commented: “This is an impressive defeat for the BDS movement. I am delighted about Ben & Jerry’s decision to reverse the boycott of Israel and renew its contract with the Israeli manufacturer. It is a great feeling when justice & dialogue win and antisemitism looses.”

“This should send a clear message to all corporations, states, organizations and individuals who believe delegitimization and discrimination is the answer – we will always choose to be on the sweet side of history.”

Gush Etzion Regional Council Head Shlomo Ne’eman said: “Unilever went back on its scandalous decision to boycott the residents of Judea and Samaria and not sell Ben and Jerry’s here. The reversal was a direct result of the many supporters of the Jewish communities in our areas who demanded that the boycott be cancelled.”

Ne’eman added: “To those who support Jewish life in Judea and Samaria please continue to do so. Thanks to your efforts we will continue to grow and thrive, and those who hate us will fail. We hope this aborted boycott will cause other companies seeking to harm us to realize it’s immoral.”
