WHY BOYCOTT CHAPTERS / INDIGO?
Starting in the summer of 2006, NION and the Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid in Toronto began a boycott campaign against Chapters-Indigo. The key reason for this boycott is that Heather Reisman and Gerry Schwartz, the majority shareholders of Chapters/Indigo, started and contribute over $3 million/year to the Heseg Foundation, a charity which supports ‘lone soldiers’ who come from others countries to fight Israel’s wars. On the Heseg board are army and air force chiefs of staff, the head of Israeli intelligence (Mossad), and Maj. General Doren Almog who has been charged with war crimes by Britain for his role in bombing civilians. This concern for young mercenaries from around the world is in marked contrast to the lack of support that Heseg gives to the hundreds of Palestinian child prisoners languishing in Israeli military prisons.
