UPDATE, July 24: An Israeli Arab speaks: As Ben & Jerry's exits Israel, Miss Universe enters.

 Ethel C. Fenig  Assured that their beautiful, sleek contestants won't ruin their health or their teeth snacking on Ben & Jerry's sugary, high-fat ice cream in Israel, officials of the Miss Universe competition delightedly informed truth- and beauty-lovers everywhere:

The Miss Universe Organization, the Israeli Ministry of Tourism and the city of Eilat today announced that the 70th MISS UNIVERSE® competition air live from Eilat, Israel in December 2021. The 70th MISS UNIVERSE Competition will once again be hosted by legendary entertainer Steve Harvey on FOX. " ...

... If the contestants and the visitors need to cool off with ice cream, they can indulge in Israeli ice cream, including some unusual flavors, which, according to a reviewer, are not only healthy but also delicious." . . .

UPDATE: 10K Pledge to Boycott Ben & Jerry's Over 'Anti-Semitic' Israel Boycott  "On Friday, a coalition of Orthodox Jewish rabbis announced that it had garnered 10,000 signatures on a petition in which signers pledged to boycott Ben & Jerry’s after the ice cream chain announced it would stop serving Israeli settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. As of Friday afternoon, 10,465 people had signed the petition.

“We, the undersigned, condemn Ben & Jerry’s decision to end sales in Judea and Samaria, two areas that have been continuously in the possession of the Jewish people for nearly 4,000 years––since Abraham purchased the Cave of the Patriarchs,” the petition reads.

“The company’s decision will perpetuate malicious, ahistorical notions and fuel what is already rampant Jew-hatred in the United States and around the world. In response to Ben & Jerry’s decision to participate in an antisemitic boycott, we refuse to purchase any of the company’s products until it abandons this inhumane policy,” the signers said." . . .

“I’m Yoseph, an Israeli Arab. I checked the definition of apartheid and you seem to be confused by the propaganda of this political org,” Haddad tweeted. “Arabs like me have full equal rights and live, learn, work, and play together. Take it from me, I live it. Stop lying.”
