IPSC volunteers will hand out fliers alerting the public to the trade in Israeli diamonds, informing shoppers how the Israeli diamond trade underpins the apartheid regeime in Israel and helps to fund violations of international humanitarian law and human rights abuses in Palestine. Shoppers will be encouraged to sign a petition to the Retail Jewellers of Ireland calling for all diamonds to be hallmarked in order to identify where they were crafted and for the UN Kimberly Process definition of conflict or blood diamonds to be amended so as to include cut and polished diamonds from conflict zones.

If human rights were really your concern you would be boycotting oil from Arab monarchies, coffee and chocolate from African military dictatorships and everything produced in China. Each one of those products supports oppression. You single out the one country in the Middle east that actually gives its Arab citizens democratic rights. I think your agenda is showing, and it's ugly.

That doesn't add up.

If I posted about anti-semitism as a disturbing element in anti-zionism would you accuse me of not being interested in human rights because i didn't condemn Israeli fascistic ethnic cleansing of Palestinians?

I suspect not, but correct ,me if I under-estimate you.

Or can I draw my own conclusions about your disturbing agenda as a disrupter of any criticism of the racialism at the centre of the Jewish state of a jewish people and a land of no people for a people of no land?
While your answering tell me more about those democratic rights in Gaza and the ethnically colonising West Bankers.
RSVP.
