Anuradha Mittal, chair of Ben & Jerry’s board of directors and vice president of the Vermont-based ice cream maker’s nonprofit foundation, was voted “Antisemite of the Year” in the third annual contest run by watchdog StopAntisemitism.

British singer Dua Lipa placed second and US lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene finished in third place with more than 10,000 people voting in the online competition.

The organization cited Mittal being the driving force behind the decision by Ben & Jerry’s this past summer to end sales of its products in what they refer to as “Occupied Palestinian Territory.” 

They cite as another reason for Mittal’s win her support for the BDS movement and pushing for Ben & Jerry’s to boycott the entire state of Israel, which was rejected by parent company Unilever.

“There must be consequences for those who spew hatred and bigotry against the Jewish people and nation,” said StopAntisemitism founder and Executive Director Liora Rez. “Being a finalist in this annual competition is one of those consequences.”

Jan Markell earlier this year, responded to the anti-Israel actions of Ben and Jerry’s stating that the BDS movement is a “terrible anti-semitic effort” that Christians need to be informed about.

“I think we’re going to see more and more of this as anti-Semitism gets ramped up, worse and worse all the time,” Markell said. “Christians should stop buying Ben & Jerry’s products if they’re going to be ardent leftists, which they are.”

“The Bible says in the last days that two people who will be targets will be Christians and Jews, and right now we see that all over the world,” she explained. “It’s Christians and Jews who are being attacked, or at least being denigrated in some way, all over the world. So none of this surprises me. Christians need to get aware of what this BDS issue is all about. It’s a terrible anti-Semitic effort.”

There is no question that there is a global, spiritual aspect to this entire scenario. That being said, what the Lord spoke to Abraham thousands of years ago continues to maintain its relevance:

Genesis 12:3 KJV – “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”
