Why is this important?
BOYCOTT BARCLAYS
The genocidal attack on Gaza isn't just fought with weapons; it's fought with money.
Since October 2023, Israel has raised nearly $20 billion through government bonds, explicitly stating it's for the war.
Barclays 'primary dealer' role directly facilitates the raising of funds for these war crimes. To do business with Barclays is to do business with a state perpetrating genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and apartheid.
*Barclays is bankrolling Israel's assault, a primary dealer in Israeli war bonds
*Barclays invests in Caterpillar that makes the bulldozers that are used to destroy Palestinian homes.
*Barclays provides £6.1 billion financial aid to arms companies ie Raytheon which supplies parts for F35 bombers.
