Ice Cream & Surveillance--- Israel is Used to Having its Ice Cream and Eating it, too.
Submitted by NYCVG on Tue, 07/27/2021 - 9:40am"By excoriating Ben & Jerry’s, the Bennett-Lapid coalition is, in effect, defending decades of illiberal policies: military rule of the occupied territories, creeping annexation and a blurred distinction between 1948 and 1967 borders that insists on Israeli sovereignty between the river and the sea.
