In a lawsuit filed on November 13, 2024, Ben & Jerry’s says Unilever has silenced the company’s support for Palestinian human rights and threatened to dismantle its board and sue its members over the issue. Since the beginning of Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza, Ben & Jerry's has attempted to publicly voice support for a permanent and immediate ceasefire, the end of U.S. military funding to Israel, and the protection of Palestinian refugee rights.
