📰 Ben & Jerry's is back in court again, and this time it's #suing its parent company #Unilever over accusations that it silenced the #IceCream maker's attempts to express support for a #ceasefire in #Gaza and support #Palestinian #refugees.

In a #lawsuit filed on Wednesday, Ben & Jerry's said Unilever breached the terms of a previous agreement that gave the ice cream company responsibility over its "social mission".

Despite this, Ben & Jerry's said it was #silenced four separate times when it tried calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, advocating for halting US military aid to #Israel, supporting university #students #protesting against Israel's war on Gaza, and supporting the safe passage of Palestinian refugees from Gaza to the UK.
