I’ve only skimmed this so far (It’s meaty), but it looks like it really touches on a lot of topics important to the left right now:
- The diamond trade is run mosty by pro-apartheid forces Israel and the DeBeers family from South Africa
- Russia has a ton of diamond reserves, but is struggling to break in due to sanctions and the dirtiest sort of competition
- A lot of diamonds come out of the Congo, which is notorious for their brutal slavery in mining
- The entire business has been hated for a long time by the left.
If anti-“Israeli” sentiment can be leveraged against thr Diamond industry in general, this could move things forward in a number of places. Is there an opportunity here to cause this terrible industry some trouble right now?
