Barclays: Banking on Genocide
Barclays is bankrolling Israel's genocidal assault on Palestinians.
Our new 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.
This includes investing £100 million in General Dynamics, which produces the gun systems that arm the fighter jets used by Israel to bombard Gaza. As well as investing in Elbit Systems, which produces armoured drones, munitions and artillery weapons used by the Israeli military.
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.
We’re calling on concerned people to boycott all Barclays services until the bank ends its grave complicity in Israel’s attacks on Palestinians.
