Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey is one of a handful of governors to speak out against Ben & Jerry’s decision to stop selling ice cream in the West Bank. Four days after the Vermont-based ice cream brand’s announcement, Ducey said on Twitter that Ben & Jerry’s decision “is discrimination.” “Arizona stands with Israel,” Ducey wrote, and noted Arizona “will not do business with a company that boycotts Israel — in 2016 and 2019 I signed bills to make sure of it.” His stance did not go unnoticed. “Arizona is really a true friend of Israel. I don’t say this about every state,” said Hillel Newman, Consul General of Israel to the Pacific Southwest of the United States. “It’s a wonderful thing when you’ve got a friend like that, who comes out in real time and says, ‘We don’t allow such discrimination in our state.’ That’s a tremendous thing not many governors have done.”
