Ben & Jerry's has filed a lawsuit against its parent company, Unilever, alleging that it has been silenced from publicly supporting Palestinians in the Gaza war. The lawsuit claims that Unilever has threatened to dismantle the ice cream maker’s independent board and intimidate its personnel, violating their agreement to allow the company to pursue its social mission. Unilever, which bought Ben & Jerry's in 2000, has distanced itself from the brand's progressive stance and plans to transfer its rights in Israel, igniting this legal dispute.
