Gov. Cuomo is facing growing pressure to take action against Ben and Jerry\u2019s and parent company Unilever after the ice cream provider announced they would no longer do business in parts of Israel.<\/p>\n

Under the terms of Cuomo\u2019s own 2016 executive order,<\/a> New York State is enjoined from doing business with any company engaged in the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign against Israel \u2014\u00a0and critics say it\u2019s time to put up to shut up. <\/p>\n

\u201cI call on him to enforce his order that bans the State of New York from doing business with companies that engage in the anti-Semitic BDS movement,\u201d Schuylerville Rep. Elise Stefanik told The Post. <\/p>\n

\u201cWith so many new members in the legislature and the disturbing rise in anti-Semitic attacks in our city, it\u2019s critically important for the state to reinforce its position and show support for members of our Jewish community,\u201d added Staten Island Republican Nicole Malliotakis. <\/p>\n

Dozens of US states have anti-BDS laws on the books.<\/p>\n

When pressed for a response, a rep for Cuomo, Rich Azzopardi, told The Post only that \u201cthis is under legal review.\u201d <\/p>\n

Cuomo\u2019s silence so far contrasts sharply with longtime rival Mayor de Blasio, who condemned the ice cream company earlier this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot have peace if you undermine the economic reality and create division. I just believe it\u2019s absolutely the wrong app<\/a>roach and I don\u2019t think Ben and Jerry\u2019s should be doing that,\u201d Hizzonner said Tuesday<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Empire State institutions and municipalities are already taking action against the ice cream maker and its parent company. <\/p>\n

The New York State Common Retirement Fund, the primary pension fund for state workers, sent a letter to Unilever Friday warning that it was considering restricting investments in the company over the issue. <\/p>\n

Hempstead town supervisors Don Clavin promised Thursday to purge any Unilever from public buildings in the Long Island town, ABC7 reported.<\/a> <\/p>\n

The decision will go far beyond ice cream and include items such as Lipton tea bags, Dove soap, and Hellman\u2019s mayonnaise.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to go through every department and every contract\u2019s going to be reviewed and we are going to hold them accountable for their support of this anti-Israel action,\u201d Clavin said.<\/p><\/div>\n
