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.
The irony of Israel giving the Nazis a run for their money in being totally evil.
18 months of unspeakable horror and evil and the West not only stays silent but actively assists israel. The only thing that will work is direct action against the enablers of genocide.
