Barclays: Banking on Apartheid
Research released by Palestine Solidarity Campaign, War on Want, and Campaign Against Arms Trade, has identified that Barclays invests over £1 billion, and provides over £3 billion in loans and underwriting, to nine companies whose weapons, components, and military technology have been used in Israel’s armed violence against Palestinians.
By providing investment and financial services to these arms companies Barclays is facilitating and profiting from Israel’s militarised repression, which sustains its apartheid rule over Palestinians.
Write to Barclays to demand it commits to end all business relationships with the nine companies identified in the report, to avoid further complicity in Israel’s violations of international law and Palestinian rights.
