Barclays invests billions of pounds in companies supplying Israel with the weapons it uses to kill and maim Palestinians.

This includes Elbit Systems. It supplies Israel with a range of weaponry, including banned cluster munitions which cause widespread casualties.  

Will you sign our petition to demand that Barclays stops bankrolling Israel’s atrocities?

Recent research has revealed that Israel used cluster munitions produced by Elbit Systems in its invasion and bombing of Lebanon. Cluster munitions indiscriminately disperse bombs over a wide area, causing widespread casualties and suffering. There is no international law or convention that Israel will not breach in its military assaults on Palestinians and aggression against other states.  

As well as providing investment and loans to companies arming Israel, Barclays has directly helped Israel raise money to fund the cost of its genocide in Gaza by acting as a ‘primary dealer’ for its government bonds. It is therefore helping Israel raise money to fund its genocide in Gaza, and military occupation and apartheid across Palestine.  

We’re handing in the petition this week, so this is the last chance to sign and tell Barclays that you’re boycotting the bank.

Israel’s genocide has not ended. In the 50 days since the so-called ceasefire, Israel killed over 370 Palestinians in Gaza. Israel’s military assaults continue to kill and maim Palestinians every day in the West Bank.

Palestinians are calling for us to take action against financial institutions and companies, like Barclays, that help enable the horrific violence that they are facing.   

Sign our petition to let Barclays know you’re boycotting the bank until it stops enabling Israel’s atrocities.  

In solidarity,

PS If you’ve already signed the petition, you can also email your MP to ask them to add their name to Early Day Motion 2376, tabled by Imran Hussain MP, demanding the government end its contracts with Elbit Systems and close its factories in Britain.
