Talk:Diamond industry in Israel

Reference removed.
For those interested in history this was edited out 1 March 2010: In 1938 the 15% import duty on imported rough stones was removed. By 1944 the industry employed 3,300 workers in 33 factories, with £P.1,320,000 capital investment, entirely Jewish. The value of exports was over £P.3,200,000 mainly to the USA, Canada and India; It was the largest value of any single commodity exported from Palestine that year. Between 1944 and 1948 the industry suffered from the increasing lawlessness and in February 1948 closed down completely. After a state was declared, the consumer economy was shifted to a war economy. This came at the height of a diamond crisis, as many war torn economies were struggling to re-establish. Since then, the industry has continued to grow, producing a world leader in the diamond industry. Padres Hana (talk) 08:56, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

What happened between 1948-67?
In 48 the industry fully collapsed. In 1967 Moshe Schnitzer took over and pushed it forward at great speed. There is no info here on the two decades in between.
