Ben Cohen moved to Vermont in 1977 and co-founded the world’s most liberal ice cream company. You may think you disagree with him on everything. But take a second and hear him out on the Ukraine war.

Apparently he needed to be reestablished by radical rightwing media for his heinous crimes of -
On October 10, 2021, Ben and Jerry were interviewed by Alexi McCammond of Axios on HBO. McCammond asked Ben about his political views regarding stopping the sales of ice cream in Israel. Ben was subsequently asked why Ben & Jerry’s ice cream was sold in Georgia and Texas in response to Georgia’s voter identification law and the 2021 Texas Heartbeat Act, which restricts abortions after 6 weeks. Ben replied by stating “I don’t know,” and “By that reasoning, we should not sell ice cream anywhere.”[18]
In 2022 Cohen funded the Pierre Sprey Award for journalism. The inaugural awardees included Sam Husseini, Aaron Maté, Benjamin Abelow, and Sudarsan Raghavan.[19][20]
In 2023 Cohen faced criticism over his opposition to U.S. weapons deliveries to Ukraine in its war against Russia, with some calling for boycotts against Ben & Jerry’s.[21] Cohen said: “The U.S. could use its power to advocate for a negotiated settlement, but instead it’s using its power to prolong the war — prolong and prolong and increase the death and destruction”.[19]
Cohen is a top donor to the People’s Power Initiative and Eisenhower Media Network, organizations that have argued against U.S. military and financial assistance to Ukraine.[22] Speakers for the Eisenhower Media Network have been accused by the Daily Beast of echoing Russian talking points on Ukraine, including blaming NATO expansion for the outbreak of the conflict. Cohen told the Daily Beast that “the U.S. should use its power to negotiate an end to the war, not prolong the death and destruction by supplying more weapons”.[23]
In 2022, Ben & Jerry’s parent company, Unilever, criticized a tweet from Ben & Jerry’s Twitter account blaming U.S. President Joe Biden for contributing to rising tensions with Russia and distanced itself from Ben & Jerry’s position on Ukraine.[19][24]
Cohen was arrested in July 2023 during a protest against the U.S. government’s prosecution of WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange.[25]
In March 2024, Cohen was one of several signatories of “A Statement From Jewish Americans Opposing AIPAC”, a letter denouncing AIPAC’s lobbying efforts in the United States government.[26]
Cohen reiterated his opposition to U.S. involvement in Ukraine and criticized the size of the Pentagon’s budget on Tucker Carlson’s talk show in May 2025. He stated that the U.S. was the world’s largest arms exporter and had the largest military in the world, which “support[s] the slaughter of people in Gaza, [and] if somebody protests the slaughter of people in Gaza, we arrest them”. He also promoted a website to back the Department of Government Efficiency, an initiative by the second Trump administration tasked with cutting federal spending. [27]
