You no doubt have heard of blood diamonds, if for no other reason than the movie. Pro Palestinian protesters are hoping to bring attention to their cause by boycotting the largest diamond importer in Israel

The protesters carried red, heart-shaped signs that read "Settlements are Heartless," "Won't You be Just?" and "Have a Heart Leviev." Protesters also sang a parody, vaudeville-style version of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend." Londoners also joined the boycott campaign, with 25 activists picketing outside Leviev's Old Bond Street store on Saturday. Leviev and the LLG Companies, who have called the protests "politically motivated," cite the philanthropic and humanitarian work that the diamantaire and his company have done in the communities where diamonds are mined and processed. Those efforts have included the construction of schools and orphanages, as well as fostering economic development, the company says. (nationaljewelernetwork)
