Clearly when the genius behind Cherry Garcia and Chunky Monkey ice cream hits his limit we are in big trouble.

C’mon, @nytimes.com, when will you start reporting factually on this situation? Israel is not waging war in Gaza, it is waging genocide.

This article is 3 months old and from what I gathered from it it was an attempt to silence their Activism for they were always vocal on all worldwide issues

The government of Benjamin Netanyahu continues to wage a war of genocide upon the Palestinians - who welcomed the Jews with open arms in the 19th Century.
Netanyahu is worse than Hitler. His rate of killing the 4 million remaining Palestinians was a death rate Hitler only wished for in the 1930’s…

Well done to Ben Cohen. This must have been frightening but he stepped up. I wonder how it feels to arrest a beloved man who makes ice cream for protesting the slaughter of children? 💜

Trump’s MAGA base includes millions of Nazi sympathizers who hate Jews and all People of Color. Trump is using this racist, xenophobic base to convert our Constitutional Republic into a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy. He must be impeached, prosecuted and imprisoned.

Proud that someone is standing up for the Americans paying the war criminal real Nazi's for murdering 15000+ innocent little children. I was just saying the photos of starving Palestinian kids look like Jews in ww2 camps.

The Israeli's are modern Nazi's and America by giving money is part of it.

Cowardly, quisling journalism. Israel are starving Palestinians and dropping bombs on civilians including 40k children they've murdered.

US colonialism has never changed and neither has the reporting… a country built on genocide and slavery can never change its spots.

Wow, you are ignorant. All Jews are not Israeli's and all Israeli's are not Jews. What the f*ck has the murder of 15900+ little children have to do with Jews? Seen the photo's of Palestinian starving kids? Looks like Jews in Germany WW2 camps.

Israeli's are modern Nazi's

Hitler will be so proud!

If you observe the past 7 decades in the Levant, since Zionist groups began squatting in Palestine coming from Slavic Europe, and if you pay close attention to their actions in the past few years, you will realize that 'Israelis' are the real antisemites, the deep terrorists, and the new Nazis.

This makes me so hopeful for our country:

That a rich guy would put himself at risk in a way that not everybody can, to stand for a forbidden truth.

I hope nobody reading this EVER buys any other brand of ice cream for as long as this guy is alive.

Ty American Hero!

We are witnessing a genocide in plain sight for all the world to see

jhaven1974.bsky.social•1 day ago

It wasn't that long ago that we were in Iraq illegally. We dragged our allies into a foreign war based on false pretenses and then we murdered more than a million Iraqi men, women, and children. Genocide in Gaza needs to be stopped but sadly, most Americans care about as much as they did about Iraq.
