[Bloquez l'empire!] SATURDAY/SAMEDI : Boycott Israeli Apartheid Picket at INDIGO / Boycotter l'Apartheid Israelien, boycotter INDIGO

PICKET: Boycott Indigo-Chapters, Boycott Israeli Apartheid

Saturday, 16 June 2007, 13:00 - 15:00
Indigo Bookstore, NW corner of Ste. Catherine & McGill College (McGill
Metro)

On Saturday, join us for a biweekly picket of the flagship Indigo bookstore
in Montreal, following on a full week of action against Israeli apartheid.
Keep the momentum going!

A boycott of Chapters/Indigo bookstore was launched in December 2006 to
oppose the support that Heather Reisman and Gerry Schwartz, the company's
majority shareholders, give to Israeli apartheid. Reisman and Schwartz have
established a fund called "the HESEG Foundation for Lone Soldiers", a
program of financial support for former 'lone soldiers', non-Israelis who
fight in the Israeli military, in defence of apartheid and occupation. The
HESEG Foundation contributes up to 3M$ per year in benefits to former lone
soldiers who remain in Israel (article on 'lone soldiers' as 'heroes' of the
Israeli military:  www.mahal2000.com/press/040822/lonesold.htm).

As long as the majority shareholders maintain their financial links with
HESEG, we are calling on everyone to stop buying from Chapters, World's
Biggest Bookstore, SmithBooks, Coles, the Book Company and Indigospirit.

PIQUET : Boycotter Indigo/Chapters, boycotter l'apartheid israelien


Samedi le 16 juin, de 13h00 à 15h00
librairie Indigo (coin Ste-Catherine et McGill College, métro McGill)

Les actionnaires majoritaires des librairies Chapters et Indigo, Heather
Reisman et Gerry Schwartz, ont créé une fondation nommée Heseg - "Fondation
pour les soldats solitaires" (Foundation for Lone Soldiers). Il s'agit d'un
programme d'appui financier aux anciens "soldats solitaires" de l'armée
israélienne.

L'armée israélienne est coupable de crimes de guerre en Cisjordanie, dans la
bande de Gaza et au Liban.

Tant et aussi longtemps que leurs actionnaires majoritaires entretiendront
des liens financiers avec "Heseg - The Foundation for Lone Soldiers", n'
achetez pas les produits chez Indigo, Chapters, World's Biggest Bookstore,
SmithBooks, Coles, the Book Company ou Indigospirit.
