[DOC] Adalah-NY rejoinder to Lev Leviev’s response

Yet again, Leviev's response to evidence of his responsibility for causing suffering appears to follow a pattern of avoidance, refusing to address serious concerns about some of his business practices...While Adalah-NY is aware of examples of Leviev's philanthropy, we are also aware that Leviev is helping to destroy Israeli-occupied West Bank Palestinian communities like Bil'in and Jayyous, on whose land Leviev's companies build illegal Israeli settlements. All Israeli settlements violate international law...This week, Leviev will attend the Davos Economic Forum...One of the topics to be discussed there is "feeding the hungry." Jayyous could serve as a good case study for that discussion. The impoverishment of Jayyous caused by Leviev's settlement has compelled 103 out of a total of 195 students in grades 7-12 to drop out of school.
