Protest Barclay’s complicity and profiting from genocide
Barclays is bankrolling Israel’s genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza.
A report published in 2024 detailed Barclay’s financial ties to companies producing weapons and military technology used in Israel’s attacks on Palestinians.
In addition, Barclays has an agreement with Israel to act as a ‘primary dealer’ for its government bonds. This means it helps Israel directly to raise money to fund its genocide and apartheid against Palestinians.
The Palestinian BDS National Committee is calling on concerned people to boycott all Barclays services as well as for all financial institutions to divest from Barclays until the bank ends its grave complicity in Israel’s attacks on Palestinians,
Join us for our weekly demonstration at Barclays Bank on Argyle Street.

Scottish National Demonstration: Nakba Ongoing
2026-05-23 12:30 - 15:00 | Glasgow Green, McLennan Arch, Saltmarket, Glasgow, G1 5JZ, United Kingdom
NATIONAL DEMO in GLASGOW – Saturday 23 May
Assemble at McLennan Arch, Glasgow Green from 12.30 march off at 1pm
From 1948 to the present day, the Nakba has been a continuous catastrophe for the Palestinian people. They have seen the seizure of their homes, land theft and mass displacement, infamous massacres, illegal occupation, systematic apartheid, horror pogroms, a starvation siege, and now outright genocide – an entire history of oppression, ethnic cleansing, genocidal suffering, and the trauma of exile. And yet, within and beyond these stolen lands, resistant Palestinians still hold their keys, their land titles, and the legal right of return.
Genocide expanding
From the slaughter of Gaza and purging of the West Bank, the ‘Greater Israel’ regime is using the same genocidal blueprint of mass murder, terror and displacement of populations in Lebanon, Iran and across the region, all met, again, by defiant, heroic resistance.
Genocide protesting
In the face of Starmer’s direct part in the genocide, and shameful purging of conscientious protest, we must also remain resolute in our support for the continuing Nakba generations – for all the peoples of Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Iran – as we keep marching and mobilising to halt the genocide, end Trump’s wicked wars, and halt the savage abduction, torture and rape of Palestinian prisoners, now facing illegal execution in the regime’s horror jails.
Join us on 23 May to show your enduring solidarity with the people of Palestine and all those engaged in the regional resistance.
