Anuradha Mittal is the driving force behind Ben & Jerry's decision to boycott over 800,000 Jews who live in 140 communities in various parts of Israel. Mittal serves as head of Ben & Jerry's Board of Directors and Vice President of Ben & Jerry's Foundation Inc. and has a long history of supporting antisemitic causes and pushing narratives vilifying the Jewish nation.

In addition to her role at Ben & Jerry's, Mittal is also the Founder and Executive Director of the Oakland Institute, a policy think tank with a strong anti-Israel stance. In 2017, Mittal co-authored a series of 9 reports by the Oakland Institute called "Palestine for Land & Life." The reports falsely accused Israel of apartheid, colonialism, and land grabbing.

Mittal also uses her role at the Ben & Jerry's Foundation to funnel money through the Oakland Institute to fund antisemitic projects such as Badil, a Palestinian group with ties to terror and a history of vile Jew-hatred that includes publishing Nazi-era cartoons.


Badil's cartoon published May 2010

Mittal twitter's account which has more than 100 anti-Israel tweets has one specifically describing the creation of the Jewish nation as a "catastrophe."

She also often posts in support of the antisemitic Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS) movement on her personal Twitter account. She also has called for the U.S. government to end aid to Israel and has supported Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's obscene antisemitic statements.



In 2018, under Mittal's leadership, Ben & Jerry's caused outrage by partnering [partnered] with notorious antisemite Linda Sarsour. When confronted about her Jew-hatred the company responded that "the work Linda has done ... is important and we are proud to join her in her effort."



Most telling of the depth of her hatred, are Mittal's tweets which revealed that she wanted Ben & Jerry's to boycott the entire State of Israel and not just the "occupied Palestinian territories, but Unilever, the parent of Ben & Jerry's, opposed such move.
