Ben & Jerry's Sues Parent Company Unilever for Silencing the Ice Cream Maker’s Support for Palestinian Rights

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.

Their attempts to speak out were muzzled by Unilever, according to the lawsuit.
