We are boycotting Indigo Books this holiday season (and always) because Indigo’s CEO Heather Reisman and her partner Gerald Schwartz fund "lone soldiers" who participate in Israeli military services. @NotoIndigo #indigokillskids

Based on CRA data, The Schwartz & Reisman Foundation has donated over $441 million dollars to other charities since 1997. Nearly 45% of these funds have gone to one organization: the HESEG Foundation. @NotoIndigo

White background with a photo of Reisman and Schwartz. Text reads: the Billionaire couple

Gerald Schwartz and Heather Reisman are a billionaire Canadian couple. While Reisman is the founder and CEO Indigo Books, Schwartz is the founder and former CEO of Onex Corporation (the parent company of WestJet and hundreds of other subsidiaries).

Together they have founded multiple charities, namely The Gerald Schwartz and Heather Reisman Foundation (SRF) and the 
HESEG Foundation.White background with a photo of a group of Israeli soldiers from a HESEG youtube video. Text reads: The HESEG Foundation 

The Foundation provides incentives to foreign nationals (“lone soldiers”) to voluntarily enlist in the Israeli military.

This directly violates CRA policy that states assisting a foreign military is prohibited as a charitable activity.

The HESEG board has also included a handful of top former Israeli military officials.

A National Day of Action took place at 30+ Indigo stores across Canada to protest CEO Heather Reisman and her partner Gerald Schwartz’s continued financial support for Israel’s genocidal military through their 'charitable' Heseg Foundation for Lone Soldiers. Boycott Indigo!

Remember not to shop at Indigo - the CEO, Heather Reisman, co-founded a "charity" that supports the genocidal terrorist army that calls itself the "IDF". #IndigoKillsKids

Dozens rallied inside Montreal Indigo today as part of national day of action to denounce owners for funding foreigners to join IOF. 50+ anti-genocide cyclists also ended their 2 hour protest outside downtown store to condemn CRA for subsidizing Heseg Foundation for Lone Soldiers

There's an image of a shopping bag with the word "Indigo" on it sitting on a pool of blood and an arm coming out of the bag.

A parliamentary report has been leaked, and it confirms that Canada has been exporting military goods to Israel, including in 2024. I reached out to Minister Anand’s office about this newly public report. They said it's accurate -- but it doesn't contradict their statements. How? Let's discuss:

The Star editorial board is now calling for an arms embargo on Israel. This is the first mainstream support for our campaign. Let's get the rest of the country on board. www.thestar.com/opinion/edit...
Screenshot of the Toronto Star article head: "Canada must do more to bring an end to the unconscionable death and destruction in Gaza".  

Photo in the screenshot: "Palestinians carry sacks of flour taken from a humanitarian aid convoy en route to Gaza City, in the outskirts of Beit Lahiya, northern Gaza Strip, on Friday August 1."Screenshot of an excerpt of the article: "We can do that by immediately implementing a two-way arms embargo on all military equipment and components to Israel, including through third states. Despite Ottawa’s denials, there is increasing evidence that Canadian arms are still getting through to Israel. If true, that must stop."

🚨 Time has run out. The only language our supposed leaders seem to understand is money. So let our money talk. #INDIGOKILLSKIDS CONTINUES TO CALL ON A FULL BOYCOTT OF INDIGO BOOKS. As long as Reisman and Schwartz are using their !ndigo profits to support Israel, there will be NO BUSINESS AS USUAL!

With hundreds of thousands of bullets and other weapons being shipped to Israel by Canada, and hundreds of millions of dollars being transferred to support the illegal settlements via charities, it’s clear that Canada is complicit in genocide. We cannot continue funding genocide. #indigokillskids

We thought @InvictusGames25 said there were no allegations against the participants? Participating in a genocide seems pretty serious…

Indigo CEO Heather Reisman is currently in the middle of a bizarre campaign to make her lone soldier HESEG Foundation appear as though it's a fund for "orphans." The Globe and Mail retraction Giller Prize ED Elana Rabinovitch refers to here actually had to be embarrassingly amended

The HESEG Foundation is yet another Canadian "charity" that supports the IOF, a military currently committing gen0cide in Gaza. Every dollar donated to HESEG is tax-deductible and Heather Reisman and her partner have funnelled over $185M into this so-called charity.
Text reads "What is HESEG Foundation?" then a board meeting icon in the centre and text at the bottom "BoycottIndigoBooks!"Icon of a soldier and text that reads "The HESEG Foundation is a Canadian “charity” that provides education scholarships for lone soldiers (non-Israelis, aka mercenaries) who complete service in the IOF."Icon of a hand receiving money and text that reads "Over the years, $185M has been donated to the HESEG Foundation almost exclusively by Heather Reisman, CEO of Indigo, and her partner, Gerald Schwartz." "Just Peace Advocates"Icon of bags of money and text that reads "$185,000,000 of tax deductible wealth has been transferred to Israel by Indigo’s CEO and her partner to support an army that is committing a plausible genocide, according to the ICJ."
