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?
