These settlements include Har Homa, Ariel, Modi'in Illit, and Maale Adumin. Additionally, his diamond company has been accused of supplying blood rubies from Burma used to finance Myanmar's military junta. Human rights organization Adalah-New York: the Coalition for Justice in the Middle East began the campaign to boycott Leviev last November.</p> <p>Leviev, one of Israel's richest businessmen, recently opened a diamond store on Old Bond Street and relocated to London earlier this year. Mainstream London media has showered him with praise, failing to report on any of his illegal activities. </p> <p>Join us this romantic season as we give Lev Leviev a justice Valentine and tell all shoppers that 'Lev's diamonds are a crime's best friend.'</p> </div> <a href="/blog/37095-boycott-leviev-stop-israel-building-settlement-in-palestine">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/19039-the-diamonds-or-pearls-question 2008-10-22T09:30:21Z Veracifier <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jTPiCV9E3Z4&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jTPiCV9E3Z4&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/19039-the-diamonds-or-pearls-question"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/18712" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Democratic Presidential Debate from Las Vegas, Nevada, November 15, 2007</p> </div> <a href="/blog/19039-the-diamonds-or-pearls-question">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/10557-people-power-san-bushmen-of-kalahari-12-aug-07-part-2 2008-10-25T15:29:42Z aljazeera <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/f8eUgXHCD4c&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/f8eUgXHCD4c&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/10557-people-power-san-bushmen-of-kalahari-12-aug-07-part-2"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/10694" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>People & Power investigate an indigenous community's campaign to retain their ancestral land in Bostwana.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/10557-people-power-san-bushmen-of-kalahari-12-aug-07-part-2">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/10556-people-power-san-bushmen-of-kalahari-12-aug-07-part-1 2008-10-25T15:29:47Z aljazeera <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zeM05gUP7Z8&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zeM05gUP7Z8&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/10556-people-power-san-bushmen-of-kalahari-12-aug-07-part-1"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/10693" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>People & Power investigate an indigenous community's campaign to retain their ancestral land in Bostwana.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/10556-people-power-san-bushmen-of-kalahari-12-aug-07-part-1">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/4146-the-diamond-life 2008-10-16T03:30:34Z COAnews <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/m6YOfTOaCig&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/m6YOfTOaCig&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/4146-the-diamond-life"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/3400" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Produced by the always interesting GNN.TV</p> <p>THE DIAMOND LIFE, puts the spotlight on the brutal atrocities committed by the Sierra Leone rebel forces (Revolutionary United Front) and the international diamond cartels, who have been willing to pay almost any price to maintain the artificial value of their gems.</p> <p>Produced in association with Witness and cut to the haunting music of Peter Gabriel, THE DIAMOND LIFE features interviews with UN officials, top political commentators and Sierra Leone television journalist-in-exile Aroun Rashid Deen.</p> <p>To get news videos like this sent your inbox sign up for the free COA Video Alert Service: <a href="http://coanews.org/alerts">coanews.org</a> </p> </div> <a href="/blog/4146-the-diamond-life">Watch the video</a>
