The point they’re making is absolutely fair enough and there is no reason businesses should not advocate, nor act on, political positions. The only people who complain about businesses enacting their social consciences are people who happen to disagree with the business in question.
A bit of a miscalculation in my view as it would please neither side--one side will think it's an anti-Israel stance (even though they are remaining in Israel itself) and the other side will think they are not going far enough.
If your political principles are good and sound, like opposition to the Israeli oppression of Palestine is, then it doesn’t matter for what purpose you hold them, including marketing. Right is right.
Oh well. Never mind. "Occupied Palestine" is still one of the best places in the world to be a Muslim despite the lack of B&J ice cream. Can't have everything.

Surely it would be a better protest if they kept selling it in occupied Palestine, but withdrew it from Israel.

What Laz said.
Makes me think sales are really low so they have just stopped and tried to make it a political win.

The official Israeli statement on this was as infantile and petty as you’d expect. Quit wailing lads

Abandoning what is likely a small and slow market for an ESG boost.

You saucy minx TL. We have some dirt cheap bubblegum ice lollies. Sometimes you want that cheap-tasting nostalgia for you working-class childhood.

Lol at Octoman. Also open a bar that only serves Wallbangers next to the Wailing Wall.

I hear Mr Whippy does well in the Islamic world. Not so popular with women and homosexuals though...

I prefer the Gaza Strip one. It has a strip of that exploding candy down the middle.

Heh.
Honestly I despise this company and have boycotted it ever since they started commenting on U.K. immigration policies.

Hmmm. I recall Innocent Smoothies had a similar ethos and sold out to Coca Cola?
