Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) protesters have today disrupted Barclays Bank’s annual general meeting because of the bank’s extensive investments in Israel and Israel-linked customers during Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, leading to protesters being bodily carried out of the meeting by security guards:

Our research has uncovered that Barclays bank now holds over £2 billion in shares, and provides £6.1 billion in loans and underwriting, to 9 companies whose weapons, components and military technology are being used by Israel in its attacks on Palestinians.

In addition, Barclays has an agreement with Israel to act as a ‘primary dealer’ for its government bonds. This means it helps Israel directly to raise money to fund its genocide and apartheid against Palestinians.
