Unilever, the parent company of Ben & Jerry’s, infringed upon the ice cream maker’s “social mission” by preventing it from speaking out in favor of Palestine, according to a lawsuit obtained by The National News Desk .
“For over four decades, the company has pursued its unique Social Mission via its public, progressive stances on issues such as migrant justice, LGBTQ+ rights, Black Lives Matter, GMO labeling, and a variety of other economic and social causes affecting historically marginalized communities,” the document reads.
Ben & Jerry’s claims it felt restricted by Unilever in its ability to post about Palestine on social media and make donations to pro-Palestine groups. The company also allegedly “failed to adhere to its contractual payment obligations to indigenous Palestinian farmers.”
