The Forward

Abstract: 

Though certainly not the cause of his financial collapse, for the past two years, activists including Adalah-NY have singled out Lev Leviev as one of their high-profile villains for his large contributions to West Bank settlements. And they have been effective gadflies. The pro-Palestinian activists are affiliated with the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement, an international coalition with the goal of isolating and discomfiting Israel just as South Africa’s apartheid regime was targeted in the 1980s.

Adnkronos International

Abstract: 

The Norwegian government has decided to withdraw all its investments from an Israeli defence firm because of its role in the construction of the Israeli separation wall being built in the Palestinian West Bank. "We do not wish to fund companies that so directly contribute to violations of international humanitarian law," said Norway's finance minister Kristin Halvorsen.

Monthly Review

Abstract: 

One of the main accomplishments of the Israeli government’s bombing and invasion of the Gaza Strip last winter was to inspire new vitality within leftist and peace groups in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle for justice and liberation. This wave of activity has continued after the supposed ceasefire, with demonstrations and direct actions from New York to Los Angeles, Paris, Jaffa, and Tel Aviv.
