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).

Aberdeen has a proud history of fighting racism and fascism. As far-right voices try to divide our communities, we come together to say: no to racism, no to hate!
From our streets in Aberdeen to the streets filled with rubble and blood in Gaza and across Palestine, we stand with people who have endured displacement, oppression, and injustice, yet continue to resist, organise, and demand their rights with courage and dignity!
Around the world millions have risen to challenge these injustices, marching, speaking out, and refusing to stay silent in the face of oppression. That same spirit is here, in Aberdeen.
We march for refugees escaping desperate situations.
We march for our neighbours facing racism on our streets.
We march for those suffering daily in Palestine, and in Lebanon, Syria, Congo, Sudan, and Iran.
Join the unity march this Saturday 18th April at 10:30am.
Stand with local campaigners, trade unions, faith groups, and all who believe in a city that welcomes, not excludes. Together, we are stronger united.

Join this public event on Friday 17th April to mark Prisoners Day calling for the freedom of 9,600 Palestinian political prisoners in addition to the unknown number of Gaza detainees held in military camps and torture centres run by the occupation. This includes 3,532 ‘administrative detainees’ held without trial or charge.
Prisoners Day has been marked annually since 1974 when prisoner Mahmoud Hijazi was released by the occupation in the first prisoner exchange between the Palestinians and ‘Israel’. It marks Palestinian resistance and the endless capacity of the Palestinians to oppose the occupation. In this vein, we will be screening the film Palestine ’36 by Ammemarie Jacir narrating Palestinian resistance to the British Occupation. We will also hear contributions and first hand reports from former Palestinian political prisoners.
As ever, Palestinian food will be served, in keeping with Palestinian tradition.

Olive Growing in Palestine: Stories of everyday resistance
2026-04-10 18:00 - 19:00 | Palestine Museum Scotland, 13A Dundas Street, EH3 6QG, United Kingdom
BOOK LAUNCH: Olive Growing in Palestine: Stories of everyday resistance
Palestinian researcher Juman Simaan’s book follows the lives of four families and dozens of individuals in the West Bank who grow olives as both livelihood and resistance.
This groundbreaking work sheds light on the indigenous Palestinian concepts of Sutra, ‘Awna and Sumud, and the ways in which these shape how olive farmers resist in everyday ways and in concert with each other, with international supporters, and with the more-than-human world against the forces seeking to divorce them from their land and their trees.
These grassroots Palestinian ways of doing, being and becoming bring communities, activists and scholars new tools to counter global forces of discrimination, imperialism, white supremacy and the human-made climate crisis.
Juman Simaan is a Palestinian who lives in Glasgow. He is an Associate Professor of occupational therapy at Edinburgh Napier University. Juman is interested in understanding the everyday lives and daily resistance of Global South communities, and people who are marginalised by structural forces such as the nation state, capitalism, racism and trans and homophobia.
With a special guest joining the event online: Mahmoud Soliman, Palestinian activist-scholar-farmer, who will be joining us online to discuss the current daily lives of farmers and shepherds in the West Bank of Palestine.

Speaker event: Erik Helgeson, Swedish Dockworkers Union
2026-04-09 19:00 - 21:00 | Aberdeen Quaker Meeting House, 98 Crown Street, Aberdeen, AB11 6HJ, United Kingdom
Erik Helgeson, Vice-Chair of the Swedish Dockworkers’ Union
Join us for a rare opportunity to learn from a high profile International trade union activist
Dockworker and trade union activist Erik Helgeson is coming to Scotland to share lessons from the front line of international labour solidarity!
As a leading figure in the Swedish Dockworkers’ Union, Erik helped organise bold industrial action for Palestine and has became a symbol of workers standing up for their principles in the face of union-busting attacks.
He will describe how his employer seized on the action, using it as a pretext to dismiss him, the case is now proceeding through the Swedish Labour Courts.
An international fundraising campaign has enabled the union to employ Erik directly allowing him to continue to carry out his responsibilities sending a clear message to the port employers that union-busting will not pay off.
Join us for a powerful discussion on how workers can act ethically and strategically on international issues.
We will look at worker power, union democracy, and what Scottish trade unionists can learn from struggles for Palestine in workplaces across the world – and crucially how we can take action of our own.
Erik is also speaking in Glasgow and in Edinburgh at the Workers Day School for Palestine.
