Tell the CRA to stop subsidizing genocide by allowing these charities to maintain charitable status while propping up the occupation.

Join us TOMORROW for our national Day of Action against Indigo Books whose CEO has a charity that incentivizes people to join the Israeli military.

These funds in Israel go to a number of projects, including nuclear research at the Weizmann Inst.

Reisman and Schwartz will have you think Indigo is a small family-run business, but Indigo is far from that, considering the substantial wealth they transfer to support genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Charities like HESEG that provide incentives to foreign mercenaries to join the IOF, uphold the principles of apartheid and occupation by materially supporting the military recruitment pipeline. www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20250821-israel-jewish-diaspora-deserters-orthodox-shortage-soldiers-war-gaza " And an image of a finger pointing at the reader with the text "We Want You To Kill Kids" Black background with white text "UNITED ISRAEL APPEAL OF CANADA INC Charities like UIA disguise how their donations are used, claiming to simply strengthen bonds between Canada and Israel. In reality, they act as a type of front to funnel money to the Israeli Occupation where it is distributed to support projects deemed illegal under international law. UIA is one of Reisman & Schwartz’s favourite charities, only second to the HESEG Foundation."

We focus a lot on HESEG at IKK, but Reisman and Schwartz send money to Israel via more than just HESEG. In fact, from 1997-2023, they sent over $300M to Israel via registered Canadian charities. Like many, they use charities as a way to transfer wealth to Israel without paying taxes in it in Canada.

In July 2025, the UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese released a report outlining a number of businesses making significant financial gains from the ongoing assault on Gaza and the Middle East. It is evident that the BDS movement is more critical than ever.

🔗 Report: www.un.org/unispal/docu...
With bullets and weapon parts being transferred directly to Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, it is critical now more than ever to heed UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese’s call to dismantle Israel’s economy of genocide. Indigo is part of the economy of genocide With at least $185M transferred to Israel to support “Lone Soldiers,” Indigo’s CEO is complicit in maintaining and perpetuating financial gains from occupation and genocide. We must apply pressure at every avenue. Arms embargo now. Boycott. Divest. Sanction.

According to the CRA, funds used to support a foreign military are not eligible for a tax rebate, yet the HESEG Foundation is still considered a registered charity. Tell the CRA it's time to investigate the HESEG Foundation at bit.ly/NotoHESEG
Text reads "Under Canadian law, most activities that are charitable in Canada are also charitable abroad. However, the courts have stated that some activities that are charitable in Canada may not be charitable when carried on in a different country. For example, it is charitable to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of Canada’s armed forces, but it is not charitable to support the armed forces of another country."
