Pro-Palestine protesters calling for Barclays boycott in Manchester, UK
“Do not let your money be used to fund war crimes”
On Saturday, pro-Palestine protesters marched in Manchester, UK, calling for the boycott of Barclays bank and pressuring the company to divest from its investments in Israeli arms companies.
“Their investments are rooted in violence, but our fight is grounded in liberation.” A pro-Palestine activist called out Barclays for choosing “profit over people” and described their profits as one “stained with Palestinian blood”, while highlighting the boycott calls as choosing “justice over oppression” and an effort to hold Barclays accountable “for each life lost”.
According to a joint report by a number of Palestine Solidarity organisations, Barclays has £2 billion shares in companies involved in supplying arms to Israel, including Elbit Systems and General Dynamics.
