Zionism in progressives is an interesting phenomenon, and recently gained an acronym:
The Progressive Except on Palestine phenomenon
?PEP? (Progressive Except Palestine) makes the Washington Post | Mondoweiss
and a Ben and Jerry's flavor? Sadly, no...
Ben and Jerry's latest flavor is PEP (Progressive Except for Palestine)

Perplexed, I asked David how this seemingly contradictory combination was even possible.
In a matter-of-fact way, he said:

Like we really need yet another movie that looks at the conflict from a Palestinian perspective? Way to shatter the stereotype that Hollywood is run by Palestinians. And Palestinian women, specifically, Halper exhales sarcastically. Because there are so many Palestinians running Hollywood.
Some in the audience laugh. But some clearly experience what Halper, a Laughing Liberally co-founder, calls the PEP Phenomenon, or Progressive Except on Palestine.

VTJP is currently engaged in a campaign to pressure Ben and Jerrys to stop catering and distribution of its products in the settlements, and to take a public stand against the illegal occupation of Palestinian territory that is in line with its social mission. Thousands of people have responded by emailing the company and more than one hundred organizations internationally have joined us to pressure Ben and Jerrys to stand by their social mission and promote justice for all, including, not excepting, the Palestinian people.
