Thursday 21st March was the national day of action against Barclays and Sheffield made sure it didn’t go unnoticed.
Members of the Sheffield Coalition against Israeli Apartheid went to Barclays and protested inside the bank.
The protests continued outside, with the Sheffield Streetband and the Tadhamon Singers providing the music.
Barclays is bankrolling Israel’s genocidal assault on Palestinians.
Palestine Solidarity Campaign’s research has uncovered that Barclays Bank holds over £1 billion in shares, and provides over £3 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 General Dynamics, which produces the gun systems that arm the fighter jets used by Israel to bombard Gaza, and 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.
