Who profits from Israeli occupation?
Boycotted by activists, the Israeli company AHAVA is backed by one of Israel's most powerful families
----
Description: After the Israeli attack on Gaza earlier this year, the international Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Campaign (BDS Movement) escalated all around the world. Now, activists are targeting AHAVA, an Israeli cosmetics company founded by and based in an Israeli settlement in the Occupied West Bank. The AHAVA company, as many others in Israel that are based in the Palestinian Territories or profit from their occupation are owned by the powerful Israel family - the Livnat family. The Real News investigates how the family's dynasty is invested in the economy of the occupation.

Having worked closely with the victims of oppression in Palestine and Haiti, having seen and heard for myself the ways in which powerful nations have inflicted violence and poverty upon millions of people, and having compared mainstream and independent media accounts of these crucial realities, I can affirm that it is only through independent media like The Dominion that the public will acquire the information and analysis they need in order to work toward intelligent and constructive solutions.

About the Dominion
The Dominion is a monthly paper published by an incipient network of independent journalists in Canada. It aims to provide accurate, critical coverage that is accountable to its readers and the subjects it tackles. Taking its name from Canada's official status as both a colony and a colonial force, the Dominion examines politics, culture and daily life with a view to understanding the exercise of power.
