It is not clear whether this is confusion or lack of knowledge, but when it comes to consumer behavior in Israel, it seems that most of them have decided to align: in conversations with them they call for a boycott of Ben & Jerry's favorite ice creams, although the Israeli franchisee The other companies are less determined.



"I will not buy the ice creams," said Amkar Kliman Mesilati at the Osher branch in Bat Hadar. "As for the rest of the products - what is possible - I will buy as little as possible. I will try to see if there are any substitutes. Sarah Sabah, on the other hand, takes a less hawkish stance. "I have no problem buying from their products. I have been living with their mayonnaise for seventy years, and I will continue to buy."



Other consumers who have testified to themselves as more aware of the brand entanglement have decided to apply the boycott to Ben & Jerry’s to other brands as well. "I will try not to buy all of Unilever's products," said one of them. "Only substitutes."Tomorrow we will not keep his dignity and his profits."

Things in a similar spirit said Tamar, who for a living works in a supermarket, and knows the other products well as well.

"They have shelves that grow in the supermarket - but I will not buy them. Do they boycott Judea and Samaria? I boycott them."



By the way from the product shelves, the company stewardess who stood next to them testified that despite the statements, there is no change in the movement of buyers.

"I came in the morning and everything was empty," she explained.

"People kept buying our products as usual."
