The assault killed over 2\,200 Palestinians\, nearly a quarter of them children. Isra el attacked densely populated civilian areas\, destroying 18\,000 resident ial units\, and leaving over 100\,000 Palestinians homeless.\n\nDespite wi despread condemnation of Israel’s deliberate and systematic targeting of the civilian population of Gaza\, including by the United Nations\, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International\, Britain continues to arm Israel. According to Campaign against Arms Trade (CAAT) between 2014 and 2018\, t he UK issued individual licenses for £364 million worth of military equip ment and technology for export to Israel\, as well as 20 open licenses\, a llowing unlimited deliveries over a 3-5 year period. In addition\, the UK continues to purchase high-tech weaponry from Israel\, advertised as battl e-tested on the Palestinian people. As Israel continues to murder Palestin ians with impunity\, Palestinian civil society has called for effective ac tion to hold Israel to account\, including for a two-way arms embargo now. \n\nBut the chain of complicity runs deeper than the government. As reveal ed by our research both UK universities and local government pension funds invest in companies complicit in Israel’s war crimes\, including compan ies that supply weapons to Israel.\n\nIn addition\, financial institutions such as HSBC invest and provide financial services worth millions to comp anies that supply Israel with weapons. Including BAE Systems and Raytheon. Weapons with both BAE and Raytheon components were used in 2014.\n\nAll i nstitutions have a moral duty to end their complicity now. They must all # StopArmingIsrael\n\nScroll down for graphics!\n\nTAKE ACTION: \n\nHow To Participate\n1) Print out the relevant graphics (below) depending on the s ize of your group\n2) Stand outside HSBC\, or at another relevant location while adhering to social distancing regulations\n3) Take a picture\, post across social media and use hashtag #StopArmingIsrael\n\nList of Actions\ n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbergavenny\, HSBC\, FROGMORE ST.
