Stock prices of Unilever have
fallen today after Israel's Prime Minister Naftali Benner warned Unilever of
what may be an Israeli national boycott of the entire Unilever company product
line after Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream announced it is pull
ing out of
part of Israel. This is Ben and Jerry's acting is in violation of the US
federal anti-Boycott laws I wrote about in my book
Boycotting Peace. While I never
anticipated this type of action, it is clearly a case of a company engaging in
a foreign-sanctioned boycott as described in the 1974 US anti-Boycott
laws said Fred Taub, President of Boycott Watch. He continued:
Further more, it is also in violation of the anti-boycott laws
established by about thirty states.
