Home Bargains remains complicit in the ongoing genocide as they fund Israeli war crimes through shelving numerous products from occupied territories.

Edinburgh Barclays Protest
2025-09-27 10:30 - 12:30, 2025-09-20 10:30 - 12:30 | Barclays Bank Edinburgh, 10-15 Princes St, Edinburgh, EH2 2AN
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 bi-weekly (Wed & Sat) demonstrations at Barclays Bank on Princes Street (next to Apple store).
