The Arab League may blacklist Levant Jewelery stores. I hope. The owner, Lev Leviev, is a Israeli settler-supporter and Africa-raper: blood diamonds used to fund international law violations. This may be a largely symbolic act, but it is long overdue. Now, if the League could do something more for Darfur. [Gulf News]

When you say “Levant Jewelry stores”, is that a chain of stores called “Levant Jewelry”, or do you mean the region called the Levant?
Posted by Firouz | July 3, 2008, 1:03 pmOh, let me hurry up to answer your question, innocuous normal stranger commenter. It’s the region. One dude owns all jewelry stores there.
Posted by safiyyah | July 3, 2008, 4:20 pmBut, if the Arab League blocks the sale and purchase of diamond jewelry in the Levant (which includes Lebanon), where will all those fat Saudi princes and their multiple sharmoota wives get their bling bling?
I mean, sure, blood diamonds are blood diamonds, but they sure are shiny!
Posted by Firouz | July 3, 2008, 6:42 pmlol at fairouz. You’re getting too deep there.
Posted by Mo | July 4, 2008, 3:37 amLevant Jewelry is a chain of Jewelry stores in Dubai — 2 already opened, and five more are planned — which are owned by Leviev’s Dubai partner, Arif Ben-Khadra. Arif is half Moroccan- half Palestinian. Two stores that Leviev was planning to open under his own name in Dubai have dissappeared from his website after a campaign against him there. But Arif is still selling Leviev as his #1 brand, and displaying Leviev’s name prominently in his stores and on the entrances.

Posted by Simon | July 4, 2008, 5:45 pmLet it be known that it took a Jew and a Palestinian to milk those fat Saudi fuckers of all their undeserved oil money.
Just imagine what could happen if you stop trying to kill Jews and work with us instead.
