WHEN CANADIAN RETAIL MEETS ISRAELI APARTATE

[+] serious ballot by Robo_Christ
ACTIVE Apr 07,2007 - Sun Apr 06, 08

Heather Reisman and Gerry Schwartz, majority owners of Chapters and Indigo bookstores in Canada, founded an organisation called Heseg, The Foundation for Lone Soldiers. At its peak, it will distribute up to $3M per year to provide scholarships and other support to former ‘Lone Soldiers’ in the Israeli military. ‘Lone Soldiers’ are individuals who have no family in Israel but decide to join the Israeli military. As Israeli soldiers, they participate in a military that operates
checkpoints that restrict Palestinian freedom of
movement, enforces the occupation of Palestinian land, and has a documented history of human rights violations.
Many members of the Heseg Board of Directors are high-ranking Israeli military personnel. Board member Lt. Colonel Mike Hartmen joined the IDF as a lone soldier and is now "head of the marksmanship and sharpshooters section of the IDF." Board member Major General (Res.) Doron Almog was Commander of the IDF's Southern Command from 2000-2003. In 2005, a warrant was issued in the UK for his arrest on suspicion of
war crimes. Moshe Ronen, Co-Chair of the Canada-Israel Committee, also sits on Heseg's Board of Directors.
Heather Reisman and Gerry Schwartz own or control over 68% of the shares in Indigo Books and Music Inc. which owns and operates bookstores under the names Indigo, Chapters, World's Biggest Bookstore,
SmithBooks, Coles, The Book Company or Indigospirit. Reisman is chair and CEO of Indigo Books and Music
Inc.

How do people get away with this kind of thing? How does a country, a democracy, with a long history of peacekeeping and humanitarian operations worldwide, support unequivically Israel's continued apartate oppression of another people? Don't you think there should be one standard for those found supporting state oppression as there is for supporting terror? Are they the same?

Israel is a democray and international support in any way should be allowed	6
Rules for supporting state-sanctioned oppression should be all-inclusive and without exception	3
If there is evidence as proof of war crimes, they should be punished. Hearsay would be different.	3

Voted : If there is evidence as proof of war crimes, they should be punished. Hearsay would be different.
It depends on what the facts are, which in turn depends on evidence. If they are guilty of war crimes, they should be punished.

War crimes might be a stretch, however there are provisions in place to deal with funding terror, but in this case it's tricky because the funding is for "former" lone soldiers. Either way it stinks if you ask me.

I'm refering to the individuals in the article (which I lazily did not cite) who are funding these soldiers, not the soldiers themselves.
