SUMMARY:HSBC #StopArmingIsrael | National Day of action
DESCRIPTION:HSBC invests in and provides financial services for companies p
 roviding military technology and weapons to Israel\, which the Israeli mil
 itary has used to commit war crimes and systematically violate internation
 al law. This includes investments of nearly £100million in the company Ca
 terpillar.\n\n\n\nCaterpillar supplies the Israeli military with bulldozer
 s which are weaponised and used to assist in Israel’s ethnic cleansing o
 f the Palestinian people\, including the demolition of Palestinian homes\,
  schools\, villages and civilian infrastructure - in order to make way for
  the ever-expanding illegal Israeli Jewish-only settlements. \n\nSince 19
 67 the Israeli military has demolished nearly 50\,000 Palestinian houses\,
  and Caterpillar equipment has been involved at many of these demolitions\
 , which amount to war crimes. Currently Caterpillar Bulldozers are being u
 sed by the Israeli military to aid in the demolition of 70 Palestinian hom
 es in the Sur Baher village in East Jerusalem. Over 1000 Palestinians are 
 being displaced from their homes\, forcing them to live in exile\n\nCaterp
 illar also provides equipment used to reinforce Israel’s apartheid infra
 structure\, including Israel’s checkpoints\, seperation wall alongside t
 he West Bank as well as the wall in Gaza\, and for the construction of ill
 egal settlements and settlement infrastructure on stolen Palestinian land.
  \n\nPublic pressure led HSBC to divest from Elbit Systems\, Israel’s l
 argest arms company\, but HSBC remains deeply complicit with Israel’s wa
 r crimes. \n\nMobilise and take creative action at your local HSBC branch
