SUMMARY:Barclays: Don't Bank on Apartheid - Day of Action!
DESCRIPTION:Go to list of actions across Britain!\n\n\n\nTake action at a h
 igh street Barclays branch near you: demand the bank stop investing in com
 panies supplying Israel with weapons and military technology used to assau
 lt Palestinians.\n\nMilitarised violence against the Palestinian people is
  a central feature of Israel’s regime of settler-colonialism\, occupatio
 n and apartheid.\n\nIn 2023\, Israel has continued its attacks on Palestin
 ians. On 26 January\, Israeli armed forces invaded Jenin\, and killed 10 P
 alestinians in a single raid. In January\, at least 35 Palestinians were k
 illed by Israeli forces\, including children\, while hundreds more have be
 en injured.\n\nThis violence is made possible because of Israel’s trade 
 in arms with countries around the world\, including the UK\, and the compl
 icity of companies and banks that continue to aid Israel’s violence – 
 including Barclays.\n\nOur research has uncovered that Barclays invests ov
 er £1billion+ in arms companies supplying Israel\, including Elbit System
 s. It specialises in the production of military technology\, surveillance 
 systems\, and military drones – used to brutalise Palestinians in Israel
 ’s regular attacks\, including its repeated bombardments of the Gaza Str
 ip.\n\nIn late March the world marks the UN Day for the Elimination of Rac
 ial Discrimination and remembers those killed resisting white minority rul
 e in South Africa. During that time\, Barclays was a key target of anti-ap
 artheid campaigners worldwide because of its financial links with the apar
 theid regime.\n\nPalestinians have called on us to revive this history\, a
 nd stand in solidarity with their anti-apartheid struggle\, by pressuring 
 Barclays bank to divest from companies like Elbit Systems.\n\nWith Barclay
 s continuing to be complicit in the crime against humanity of apartheid\, 
 through its financial ties with companies arming Israel\, we must take act
 ion in solidarity with Palestinians resisting Israel’s violence to deman
 d Barclays #StopBankingOnApartheid.\n\nList of actions:\n\nAbergavenny: Ba
