 Barclays - Don't Bank On Apartheid
Thanks to everyone who came to visit and take part in the picket. It was very well-supported, very noisy and very crowded outside - and - inside Barclays. We were there, along with the local Extinction Rebellion, CAAT - and the local police!
Barclays has £1.3 billion invested in armaments companies that supply the Israeli military, and it has given these companies £4 billion in loans. These investments include Elbit, the Israeli manufacurer of killer drones.

Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit loses £280 million UK contracts
Elbit has lost the £160 million contract to deliver training for the UK Dreadnought-class submarine crew. There are ongoing negotiations for the UK to end its £123 million Project Selborne navy training contract. Andrew Feinstein, ex ANC South African MP now resident in the UK, is quoted as saying: "I strongly suspect that they have lost these contracts as a consequence of the Direct Action group Palestine Action having so successfully revealed the brutal reality of Elbit's gross human rights abuses..." Article here.
Elbit's contract losses prove that economic sabotage works Article by Huda Ammori of Palestine Action: "The power of direct action."
