adalah-nyc protest @ Leviev Diamonds
RMO played and supported demonstrators from Adalah-NYC at Lev Leviev’s diamond shop on Madison Avenue. Here is what the organizers have to say: “This November, Adalah-NY: The Coalition for Justice in the Middle East is beginning a Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Campaign against Israel which aims to pressure Leviev And Boymelgreen to stop building illegal settlements in Occupied Palestine and to end their abusive development in New York City. More immediately the campaign will educate New Yorkers about Israel’s oppression of the Palestinian people, help build a larger BDS campaign in New York City, and develop links with and support activists working against similar abusive practices in New York City.All Israeli settlements in Occupied Palestinian Territory violate international law according to a broad international consensus which includes the UN, the International Court of Justice, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and the Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem. Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states that, “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer part of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.”” see http://www.mideastjustice.org/ We saw Alan Dershowitz shopping there… and so did the rest of the world…
