Debka at Leviev Protest

Wealthy Madison Avenue holiday shoppers were greeted Saturday afternoon by boisterous music and dancing, as 60 New Yorkers protested in a growing campaign to boycott Israeli diamond magnate Lev Leviev over his settlement construction in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Participants performed a joyous dabke, a traditional Palestinian dance, and chanted to music from the eight-piece Rude Mechanical Orchestra. During the protest, Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz entered LEVIEV New York and emerged to jeers as he displayed a LEVIEV shopping bag to the crowd.

The solution exists already. There is today a rigourous and precise peace plan which has been drawn progressively over the years thanks to the uninterrupted efforts of "doves" on both sides. If one day, peace has to be signed between Israel and Palestine, we know already with accuracy how this peace would look like. The only problem is how to get both camps to the signing table.

I fully understand Palestinian reservations on any settlement. Annapolis must succeed so these disputes over land can finally be put to rest. I don't really believe Leviev has anything to do with this, but I do think it would be most wise for peace-minded Palestinians to put strong pressure on their own leadership right now. Theirs is an important voice that shouldn't be directed only against Israelis.
