Mexicana and la Macha’s secret girlfriend, Salma Hayak doesn’t want to be associated with Israeli blood diamonds.
Apparently Salmita asked that Jewish-American billionaire Lev Leviev remove her picture from his diamond store website after Leviev was linked to settlement expansion in the West Bank and right-wing Zionist causes.
Other actresses who also want to keep their distance include Sharon Stone, Whitney Houston, Halle Berry, Drew Barrymore, Brooke Shields, Andie Macdowell, and Lucy Liu.
The celebrities were contacted by the rights group Adalah and the New York based ‘Jews Against the Occupation’ and asked them to distance themselves from a corporation that supports the Zionist project.
The stars took action only after being contacted by the activists working to expose Leviev’s anti-human rights agenda.

The United Nations focuses almost exclusively on a single country - Israel - failing to address serious human rights violations in other countries such as Burma, Zimbabwe, North Korea, Belarus, and Cuba.
Salma only has shown how hollow she is.

Who said anything about the UN? This is in reference to a very specific call by some orgs to a very specific situation. No doubt that there are human rights problems everywhere, including right here, pero why not address the issue being discussed here?
