   Looks like Ben & Jerry’s ice cream couldn’t stand up to the   
   heat: Its misguided anti-Israel boycott is finally melting away,   
   thanks to a new arrangement by B&J’s parent company Unilever.   
      
   The leftist dessert brand will now be sold throughout Israel and   
   the West Bank under its Hebrew and Arabic names — effectively   
   ending the boycott the company imposed on Israeli towns in the   
   West Bank and parts of East Jerusalem in July 2021.   
      
   That move prompted heavy criticism from American consumers and   
   led several states to implement sanctions — with one stockholder   
   even suing Unilever. Now, after consultations with the Israeli   
   government, Unilever has sold its Israeli rights to the ice-   
   cream label to local franchisee Avi Zinger, which will allow for   
   the sale of its products without Unilever’s direct involvement.   
      
   Good on Unilever for doing the right thing, even if it only did   
   so after pressure. The idea of boycotting the Jewish state, the   
   Middle East’s only true democracy and a nation that must fight   
   for its very survival every day amid constant threats from   
   Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran and others, was always anti-Semitic at   
   its core.   
      
   The deal won’t end that bigotry, of course, but maybe it could   
   spur some re-thinking — over a scoop of, say, Cherry Garcia.
