Barclays: Banking on Genocide
Barclays is bankrolling Israel's genocidal assault on Palestinians.
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.
By providing investment and financial services to these arms companies, Barclays is facilitating the provision of weapons and technology for Israel’s 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.
We’re calling on concerned people to boycott all Barclays services until the bank ends its grave complicity in Israel’s attacks on Palestinians.
Barclays must #StopBankingOnApartheid and #StopBankingOnGenocide
