Israel & South African Apartheid "Many people are angry about Israel's crimes but feel helpless and don't know what to do. There are, however, many peaceful ways in which normal citizens can take action and have an effect of Israel. One important way is for every one of us to never buy a diamond. Israel is the world's leading exporter of cut, polished diamonds. They import the rough diamonds from countries like South Africa, Sierre Leone, Angola, and cut them by machine in Tel Aviv or other parts of Israel. These polished diamonds are then sold to the rest of the world, mainly to the US, and they make up a huge portion of Israel's economy from exports, estimated by some to make up one-third of their total export income." southafrica.indymedia.org
