The Jewish Ben & Jerry’s ice cream company is refusing to sell its shitty ice cream on occupied Palestinian land. Israel is not happy about this and is lobbying politicians in the United States to punish them.
Israel's PM threatened "severe consequences" after Ben & Jerry's said it would stop selling ice cream on occupied Palestinian land.

I could not care less about this Jew on Jew squabble. I dislike the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream Jews slightly less than I dislike Israel only because the Ben & Jerry’s ice cream Jews are at least not dropping bombs on people. They are however terrorizing people with their overpriced and overrated ice cream brand.
What I care about is the fact that American politicians are getting involved in this situation because the Israeli government told them to.
This is a major problem. A bunch of Jewish desert-dwellers on the other side of the world should not get more representation in the American government than actual Americans. This entire sorry episode shows just how fucked up the government at every level is.
