    Monkey Pox, right on time to give Democrats an excuse to cheat in the next election.

    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.
