Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : NEW YORK (VINnews) -- Ben Cohen, the co-founder of the iconic ice cream brand Ben & Jerry's, says that parent company Unilever prevented the company from launching a new flavour intended to show solidarity with Palestine, according to a BBC report.
53% : "I'm making a watermelon-flavoured ice cream that calls for permanent peace in Palestine and for repairing the damage that was done there.
50% : Cohen announced that he will move forward independently with the project, creating the flavour as part of a personal series highlighting social causes that he claims Ben & Jerry's has been barred from addressing publicly. Ben & Jerry's, long recognized for its outspoken stance on political, environmental, and humanitarian issues, including the Israel-Gaza conflict, has often found itself at odds with Unilever, which purchased the brand in 2000.
43% : According to Cohen, both Unilever and its soon-to-be-separated ice cream division, Magnum, have "unlawfully blocked" Ben & Jerry's from fulfilling its social mission.
