For Immediate Release

 

New York, NY – For the third year in a row, activists protested in front of Lev Leviev’s store on Madison Avenue the day before Mother’s Day to discourage shoppers from buying Lev diamonds.  The activists carried signs, chanted, sang songs and danced to raise awareness about Leviev’s illegal settlement construction in the West Bank.  Passerby were informed that as we are about to celebrate Mother’s Day here in the United States, thousands of Palestinian mothers in Bilin and Jayyous witness the devastation of their families as their lands are being confiscated to build settlements by Leviev’s companies Africa Israel and Leader.
