Although using a new URL, activists behind the boycott of Canada's largest bookstore still say that 'Indigo Kills Kids'.

A representative for the campaign talks about their choice of language, tactics and targets - most notably the CEO of Indigo Books, Heather Reisman. You'll hear how this Canadian oligarch has proudly poured millions into the HESEG foundation, which actively recruits soldiers for the Occupation Forces, and rewards them for their violence.

This connection to the genocide is important, not only in justifying the boycott, but to refute claims Reisman is being targeted for being Jewish.

The IKK campaign also respond to critics from the Left side of the political spectrum, and reflects on the work that still needs to be done.
