SUMMARY:Boycott Barclays - Day of Action
DESCRIPTION:Barclays is bankrolling Israel’s genocide\, military occupati
 on and apartheid against Palestinians. Join a protest at a Barclays branch
  near you on Saturday 18 April 2026.\n\nBarclays invests over £2 billion 
 in\, and provides loans and other financial services worth £6.1 billion t
 o\, arms companies supplying Israel with weapons and military technology u
 sed in its genocide in Gaza\, and military invasions and ethnic cleansing 
 across the West Bank.\n\nFurthermore\, Barclays has an agreement with Isra
 el to act as a ‘primary dealer’ for its government bonds. This means i
 t directly helps Israel to raise money to fund the cost of its genocide in
  Gaza\, and wider regime of military occupation and apartheid.\n\nOur acti
 ons at Barclays branches will take place the day after Palestinian Prisone
 rs’ Day\, which is held to highlight Israel’s mass arbitrary imprisonm
 ent of Palestinians\, and to uplift prisoners’ calls for freedom. Curren
 tly\, over 10\,000 Palestinians are illegally imprisoned by Israel\, facin
 g systematic torture and ill-treatment. On 30 March\, the Israeli Knesset 
 introduced a law introducing a system of death penalty by hanging exclusiv
 ely for Palestinians. This new law is brutal\, blatantly racist\, a clear 
 example of apartheid\, and another flagrant violation of international law
 .\n\nArbitrary arrest and imprisonment are central features of Israel’s 
 military occupation and apartheid regime\, which Barclays is complicit in 
 through its financing of companies arming Israel\, and its agreement to he
 lp Israel sell government bonds.\n\nOn Saturday 18 April\, join an action 
 at a Barclays branch in your local area to demand the bank ends its compli
 city in Israel’s crimes against Palestinians.\n\nList of actions:\n\nAbe
