Pro-Palestinian Brownshirts launch boycott of Jewish-owned bookshops
2007-05-15
Coalition against Israeli Apartheid (CAIA) in Canada launches campaign to boycott bookstores owned by Jewish billionaire who supports lone Israeli soldiers. CAIA in Canada last week launched a boycott of Chapter and Indigo bookstores, which are owned by billionaire Gerry Schwartz and his wife Heather Reisman. Chapter and Indigo owe up to 250 stores across Canada.

Palestinian as well Canadian members of the CAIA rioted last week outside an Indigo bookstore where Reisman attended a book signing ceremony.

I hope our Canadian Rantburgers will make a point of picking up a paperback or a newspaper at their nearby Chapter or Indigo bookstore in solidarity, or at their website.

#10  Excalibur, a fine quality pigskin bookmark for each of those Korans would be a good thing.

#9  Well, I live in Montreal and there are several Chapters-Indigo locations here. There are basically no other major booksellers in the area so it's a virtual monopoly. I buy from Amazon.ca because Chapters-Indigo include Norman Finklestein's book "The Holocaust Industry" in the Jewish books section along with actual histories of the Holocaust and other topics on Jewish history and culture.

#8  Oh ya. This will be effective.
About as effective as a gnat kicking an elephant.

#7  LOL I bet the entire CAIA membership could have a meeting in a Starbucks with plenty of elbow room.

#6  I resent this boycott of Indigo/Chapters because it may force me to purchase product from a chain I am already boycotting (for a variety of reasons... still, I can always visit and make sure the Bibles are higher on the shelf than the Nekoranomicons).

#5  I wasn't aware Palestinians read anything other than the koran therefore I expect zero impact on sales.

#4  But what?

Rioting is contemptible.

#3  I seem to recall that these chains lean left, but I could very well be mistaken. The riot and boycott are still contemptible, but...

#1  Yeah, because Israel is an Apartheid™ and Racist™ State, lost in a sea of democratic, tolerant, open, multicultural and diversity-friendly, peaceful arab neighboring countries, so it makes perfect sense. Bad, bad, bad joooos.
