Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's, was arrested for protesting the U.S. military aid to Israel during a Senate hearing. He criticized Congress for funding policies that he claims harm children in Gaza. Cohen, along with six other protesters, was charged with misdemeanors for crowding and obstructing. This incident highlights ongoing tensions surrounding U.S. involvement in the Israel-Palestine conflict. Cohen and his business partner Jerry Greenfield have a history of activism, including taking political stances through their ice cream brand since it was founded in 1978.
