Thanks for all your support. I had to delete the tweet showing hate speech against me since the

announcement
I will not be deterred by bullying.
We have to do the right thing, even when it's hard.
It's simple – Palestinians are entitled to basic human rights.

Defense Minister Gantz's recent designation of six major Palestinian human rights organizations as terrorist groups is an unacceptable attack on those working to defend HR everywhere. We stand with them in solidarity and call on Israelis & the int'l community to oppose this move.
Thank you for the support of the Company & BOD’s action.
“None of our organizations endorse boycotts of Israel or support the global BDS movement... like Ben & Jerry’s, we make a clear distinction between the State of Israel & the Palestinian territories it militarily occupies.”
Ben & Jerry's condemns the hateful and violent threats that have been directed at our company, our business partners, our Board, and particularly our Board Chair. We stand together—Ben & Jerry’s and our Board—in denouncing hate, intimidation, and threats of violence in any form.
