Palestine is making headway in Hollywood. Mary-Kate Olsen and Tea Leoni and some other purty actresses are asking that their names be delinked from a new foto book called Hollywood Pinups, which promotes Lev Leviev, the funder of West Bank colonial settlements, by featuring his diamonds. I guess these gals are in the book too. Will it have to be pulped? Pulp for Palestine! Susan Sarandon wrote the introduction to the book. She sayeth nothing so far. Merely squirmeth. Oxfam has also asked that its name be removed from the book: “Oxfam reiterates our policy that we are not and never will be partners
or beneficiaries of Leviev because of both his mining practices and his
support of Israeli settlements on Occupied Palestinian Lands which is
in contravention of International Law and a major obstacle in the road
to peace…" Hope Obama's listening.
Correction: a friend says that Oxfam didn't actually ask that its name be removed… just made that distancing statement.
