#BDS Diamond industry spin conceals on-going trade in Blood Diamonds. #Israel #Gaza #Diamond-funded #WarCrimes click here

"The diamond industry has shown that it cannot be trusted to self-regulate. Dominant players in the industry are some of the worst human-rights offenders and have the power of veto over any reforms.   Rather than preventing trade in blood diamonds, the Kimberley Process facilitates the trade and provides an economic shield for rogue governments that profit from consumers' lack of awareness of the extent to which blood diamonds are contaminating the global market."
