When wars in Israel were about ice cream Raids, lotteries, tax evasion and criminal proceedings… Israel’s ice cream industry has had a tumultuous history.

Photo by GPO SHARE214 TWEET SHARE COMMENT EMAIL Ice cream may not always be headline news in other countries but occasionally it is in Israel. The latest news is that Froneri, the second largest ice cream manufacturer in Europe, will acquire Noga Ice Creams, part of the Nestlé-owned business Osem Group. The deal, estimated at tens of millions of euros, marks Froneri’s maiden entry into the Israeli market and brings all of Nestlé’s Europe, Middle East & North Africa ice cream businesses into Froneri.

Multinational acquisitions seem a far cry from the modest beginnings of Israel’s commercial ice cream market, which today boasts international brands like Ben & Jerry’s, Häagen-Dazs, Mars, Motta,Magnum, Cornetto and others. In fact, commercial ice cream was a staple in Israel even before the establishment of the state in 1948. Artik’s chocolate-covered vanilla ice cream on a stick cost a considerable sum during the austerity period. Image courtesy of Hadi Orr Israeliana Collection/National Library of Israel The innovation of ice cream on a stick was brought to Israel by the Artik company, which in 1951 established a factory in Bat Yam after purchasing the rights, equipment and know-how of Belgian brand “Artic.” Having received heavy government backing and import allowances, Artik began operations in 1952. According to a firsthand account given to the National Library of Israel,”The first ice cream… was a soft white ice cream block on a stick, vanilla flavored and about 3x3x8 cm. The ice cream was coated with a thin layer of chocolate that cracked and melted when chewed. The aluminum foil wrapper had diagonal silver and blue stripes, and on each line a series of white bears and the words‘Artic.’ This delicacy cost 15 grush which was a lot of moneyback then.” Competition arose only a year later, in 1953, with the establishment of the Kartiv companyin Petah Tikva. Artik held promotional contests with prizes such as trips to Europe, refrigerators, radios and more. The factory was raided by police on charges of running an illegal lottery. Image via Nostalgia Online Artik launched a series of contests to promote its products against the competition. One had contestants mail in answers to the not-so-subtle question, “Why do we like one ice cream brand more than the other?” and “How can we tell the difference between ice cream brands?” An Artik-sponsored raffle required collecting popsicle sticks imprinted with a letter; when complete, the full set of sticks would spell out the word “Artik.” The game was shut down by police, who confiscated the sticks, claiming this was an illegal lottery. In response, Artik suggested that the raid had been instigated by Kartiv. The end result was a merger of the two competitors in 1954. In 1954, in the midst of the Tzena (austerity) period, the newly united Artik-Kartiv announced it would be raising its prices; following government objections, this was quickly followed by an announcement that it would keep prices as is.

Photo by GPO “Artik-Kartiv” became a standard sales pitch for vendors across the young country’s beaches and movie-houses. Soon afterwards, a third Artik-Kartiv product, a round ice-cream sandwich called “Casata,”joined the rollicking rallying cry that now went, “artik kartiv shokolad banana casata casata casata!” Today, all three of these brand names have become generic terms: artik refers to any milk-based ice cream on a stick, water-based fruit-flavored popsicles are kartivim(sometimes called eskimo, as in the Israeli cult movie Eskimo Limon), and casatot refer to ice-cream sandwiches. Israelis seldom use the official term devised by the Academy of the Hebrew Language: shalgon. An Israeli ice-cream vendor on the beach, 1999. Photo by GPO In 1956, Artik-Kartivwas granted import licenses after promising not to engage in anti-competitive activity but in reality, by the end of the 1950s, the companyheld 80-90% of the shalgon market in Israel. In the early 1960s, however, other ice-cream manufacturers began to emerge: Whitman and Feldman both started out as popular Tel Aviv cafés (the Feldman family owned the Kapulsky chain) that branched out into ice-cream production. At that same time, Artik-Kartiv’s management was under investigation for tax evasion and in 1963, senior managers were convicted of what was then the largest tax fraud ever uncovered in Israel. The Strauss company had an ice-cream business as well. According to Strauss family lore, the Nahariya-based dairy entered the sector quite by accident when, in 1945, Hilda Strauss arrived in Tel-Aviv to collect money from a distributor. “The distributor did not have cash but Hilda noticed that in the corner of the store stood an ice cream maker. She agreed to receive the machine instead of cash.” In 1962, with a new factory in Acre, Strauss was ready to take on the competition, chiefly Whitman and Artik-Kartiv.

Adnir was founded by the Moshavim Movement, which licensed the most up-to-date Danish ice-cream manufacturing technology. The young and ambitious Michael Strauss was invited to manage the company. Artik-Kartiv’s downfallwas described by Michael Strauss, who in time became chairman and president of the Strauss Group, in the book Strauss: The Story of Family and Industry by Sarit Yishai Levi. “In contrast to Artik’s outdated and botched management, our management was creative and aggressive. Artik was not developing. They thought their success would continue automatically. While we at Adnir were constantly aware of market sentiment and the changes taking place, Artik relied on aggressiveness. “They did not know who they were dealing with. Adnir was a strong company with economic backing and lots of money. We launched aggressive marketing campaigns with large prizes, promotions that were not considered acceptable until then. Artik was in a difficult situation. The more Adnir sold, the less they sold. In the end, Artik was sold to an English company and tried unsuccessfully to pick itself up. “The disappearance of Artik from the landscape was one of my greatest victories.” Although the company shut down decades ago, Artik still has brand recognition and can be found in Israeli supermarkets. Photo via Wikipedia Something else disappeared in the 1970s and 1980s: cream. Most products sold in Israel as “ice cream” were, in fact, based on vegetable fat and not milk fat. In an extensive 2013 Yediot Ahronot review of the sector, experts cited several possible reasons: consumer preferences for kosher non-dairy desserts, cheaper prices, and – most plausibly – a hike in the cost to manufacturers of milk fat, cream being a non-price-controlled commodity whose distribution was controlled almost exclusively by dairy monopoly Tnuva. The exception was Snowcrest, which entered the market in the 1970s with a dairy ice cream that was distributed via ice-cream trucks exclusively. This strategy proved so successful that in 1980, Tnuva made the decision to acquire Snowcrest. Adnir was acquired by Tene-Noga in 1964, and Tene-Nogawassold to Tnuva in 1981. In 1996, the whole of Tnuva’s ice cream business was acquired by Osem, which one year earlier had joined forces with multinational Nestlé. Strauss continued its campaign, buying competitor Whitman in 1979. In 1991, Strauss began consolidating its ice-cream businesses and in 1996, the merger of the two brands was completed as part of the acquisition of Strauss Ice Cream by multinational corporation Unilever. The mid-1990s ushered in a new era for Israeli ice-cream lovers, who today rank among the world’s top ice-cream-per-capita consumers. In 2003, monolithic Tnuva underwent restructuring and in 2015, control of Tnuva was sold to Bright Food Group, the second largest food group in China. As for Artik-Kartiv, the company went into receivership in 1971 and shut down operations in 1972. However, the brand name still exists and is still to be found on Israeli supermarket shelves, while the terms “artik” “kartiv” and “casata” are forever enshrined in Israeli popular culture.*****The Gloster Meteor was the first British jet fighter and the Allies' only jet aircraft to engage in combat operations during the Second World War. The Meteor's development was heavily reliant on its ground-breaking turbojet engines, pioneered by Frank Whittle and his company, Power Jets Ltd. Development of the aircraft began in 1940, although work on the engines had been under way since 1936. The Meteor first flew in 1943 and commenced operations on 27 July 1944 with No. 616 Squadron RAF. The Meteor was not a sophisticated aircraft in its aerodynamics, but proved to be a successful combat fighter. Gloster's 1946 civil Meteor F.4 demonstrator G-AIDC was the first civilian-registered jet aircraft in the world.[1] Several major variants of the Meteor incorporated technological advances during the 1940s and 1950s. Thousands of Meteors were built to fly with the RAF and other air forces and remained in use for several decades. Slower and less heavily armed than its German counterpart, the jet-powered Messerschmitt Me 262,[2] the Meteor saw limited action in the Second World War. Meteors of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) fought in the Korean War. Several other operators such as Argentina, Egypt and Israel flew Meteors in later regional conflicts. Specialised variants of the Meteor were developed for use in photographic aerial reconnaissance and as night fighters. The Meteor was also used for research and development purposes and to break several aviation records. On 7 November 1945, the first official airspeed record by a jet aircraft was set by a Meteor F.3 at 606 miles per hour (975 km/h). In 1946, this record was broken when a Meteor F.4 reached a speed of 616 miles per hour (991 km/h). Other performance-related records were broken in categories including flight time endurance, rate of climb, and speed. On 20 September 1945, a heavily modified Meteor I, powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent turbine engines driving propellers, became the first turboprop aircraft to fly.[3] On 10 February 1954, a specially adapted Meteor F.8, the "Meteor Prone Pilot", which placed the pilot into a prone position to counteract inertial forces, took its first flight.[4] In the 1950s, the Meteor became increasingly obsolete as more nations developed jet fighters, many of these newcomers having adopted a swept wing instead of the Meteor's conventional straight wing; in RAF service, the Meteor was replaced by newer types such as the Hawker Hunter and Gloster Javelin. As of 2023, two Meteors, G-JSMA and G-JWMA, remain in active service with the Martin-Baker company as ejection seat testbeds.[5] One further aircraft in the USA remains airworthy, as does another in Australia. *** The Israeli Air Force (IAF; Hebrew: זְרוֹעַ הָאֲוִיר וְהֶחָלָל, romanized: Zroa HaAvir VeHahalal, lit. 'tl', "Air and Space Arm", commonly known as חֵיל הָאֲוִיר‎, Kheil HaAvir, "Air Corps") operates as the aerial and space warfare branch of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). It was founded on May 28, 1948, shortly after the Israeli Declaration of Independence. As of April 2022, Aluf Tomer Bar has been serving as the Air Force commander. The Israeli Air Force was established using commandeered or donated civilian aircraft and obsolete and surplus World War II combat aircraft. Eventually, more aircraft were procured, including Boeing B-17s, Bristol Beaufighters, de Havilland Mosquitoes and P-51D Mustangs. The Israeli Air Force played an important part in Operation Kadesh, Israel's part in the 1956 Suez Crisis, dropping paratroopers at the Mitla Pass. On June 5, 1967, the first day of the Six-Day War, the Israeli Air Force performed Operation Focus, debilitating the opposing Arab air forces and attaining air supremacy for the remainder of the war. Shortly after the end of the Six-Day War, Egypt initiated the War of Attrition, and the Israeli Air Force performed repeated bombings of strategic targets deep within enemy territory. When the Yom Kippur War broke out on October 6, 1973, Egyptian and Syrian advances forced the IAF to abandon detailed plans for the destruction of enemy air defences. Forced to operate under the missile and anti-aircraft artillery threats, the close air support it provided allowed Israeli troops on the ground to stem the tide and eventually go on the offensive. Since that war most of Israel's military aircraft have been obtained from the United States. Among these are the A-4 Skyhawk, F-4 Phantom II, F-15 Eagle, F-16 Fighting Falcon and F-35 Lightning II. The Israeli Air Force has operated a number of domestically produced types such as the IAI Nesher, and later, the more advanced IAI Kfir. On June 7, 1981, eight IAF F-16s covered by six F-15s carried out Operation Opera to destroy the Iraqi nuclear facilities at Osiraq. On June 9, 1982, the Israeli Air Force carried out Operation Mole Cricket 19, crippling Syrian air defences in Lebanon. On October 1, 1985, In response to a PLO terrorist attack which murdered three Israeli civilians in Cyprus, the Israeli air force carried out Operation Wooden Leg, bombing the PLO Headquarters in Tunis. In 1991, the IAF carried out Operation Solomon which brought Ethiopian Jews to Israel. In 1993 and 1996, the IAF participated in Operation Accountability and Operation Grapes of Wrath, respectively. It has taken part in many operations since, including the 2006 Lebanon War, Operation Cast Lead, Operation Pillar of Cloud, Operation Protective Edge, Operation Guardian of the Walls and Operation Swords of Iron. On September 6, 2007, the Israeli Air Force successfully bombed an alleged Syrian nuclear reactor in Operation Orchard.[3]         ebay6228 / 215
