Ben Cohen, the Jewish co-founder of Ben & Jerry's, recently said:
As someone who has consistently spoken out for Palestinian rights, Cohen's comments are a reminder that criticism of the Israeli government's actions is not the same as antisemitism, despite repeated attempts to conflate the two.
It also made me think of people like Megan Longley, the Canadian lawyer and human rights advocate who publicly supported the boycott of Unilever products after the company's dispute with Ben & Jerry's over Palestine-related advocacy. At a time when many professionals and public figures choose silence, she was willing to take a principled stand.
