Lev Leviev: De Beers
built 643 days ago
The Jerusalem Post says today that Leviev will be attending Davos this week. It says that one of the topics to be focused on this year is “feeding the hungry.” It’s good that Leviev will be there, because the separation fence Israel built and intends to make their border, and cuts off 95% of the Palestinian village Jayyous’ arable farmland from the rest of the village, was located 6KM away from the Green Line in order to enable the Leviev-built Jewish settlement of Zufim to expand to 11 times its current size, according to a Dec.2005 B’tselem-Bimkom report. As a result, Jayyous, a once prosperous farming village, fewer and fewer of whose farmers are allowed permits from their Israeli occupiers to work their lands, is now on aid from the World Food Programme, according to the Financial Times:

Leviev's decision to spend millions on London property comes despite a downturn in Britain's once red-hot market. After nearly 10 years of steady growth, prices have tapered in recent months and are even expected to fall in the coming year.

Participants were reminded of the breadth of Leviev's abuses when a stream of cars decorated with Burmese flags and "Free Burma" banners drove by the protest honking their horns in support. In September, 2007 The Sunday Times in London reported that its undercover journalist was shown Burmese rubies for sale, allegedly "blood rubies" used to finance Myanmar's military junta. UPI reported in October that Leviev was warned by the EU to stop doing business with Myanmar or face sanctions.

In a press release, a spokesperson for Leviev described the protests as "politically motivated" and accused protesters of "deliberately neglect[ing]... extensive humanitarian and philanthropic work, which includes building schools, orphanages, and fostering economic development in communities around the world."[13]

It is likely Leviev has never been to Myrtle Beach. Steven Goodwin, chief executive of Hard Rock Park, said he has never met the man and said he deals instead with Rosen.
