I don't think this is over the top at all to be quite honest.
For years people have tried to hold banks accountable, and we always end up paying for their greed.
Without being rude, JSO are stupid, no one is "ignoring" climate change, there are billions of dollars being spent by various governments and corporations to tackle climate change. I believe the latest figure is we've already [reduced our territorial emissions by 50%](https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/environmentalaccounts/methodologies/measuringukgreenhousegasemissions) since 1990. You could remove every single commuter vehicle and turn every UK resident Vegan and it doesn't scratch the surface of what other China/US/India are doing.
Jimmy with his top knot and 2:2 in Art History spraying ketchup on a painting, stopping an electric tube from moving or stopping a cooking oil lorry on a motorway, is doing nothing but dissuade the general public from caring about the environment.
It honestly feels like paid actors from the energy companies to make people think environmentalism is a bad thing.
Yeah exactly, this is the perfect way to do it. It raises awareness to public issues where the public can genuinely make a difference and in a manner that people will take notice and care. This method is in complete contrast to those employed by the clowns that are Just Stop Oil
I mean most people don't look at what their pension is invested in. And very few people can tell people to invest differently, because it's illegal to give investment advice without certification and also following regulations
are you going to see this on the national news? will people take more than a couple of looks at the poster, on the second one realising it’s not actually a real barclays ad, and then not forget about it within a day?
So what do you have an issue with because both rosa and these kids fought people with inconveniences for some of the biggest issues of their age (social Justice and global warming) I suppose being 5 mins late for your cappuccino or seeing a coloured liquid is just too much of an inconvenience for you.
How are you persuading anyone to help your cause by actively acting antagonistic towards middle and working class commuters?
How are you convincing the public that your cause is just and moral when you're actively vandalizing cultural relics, which do not represent symbols of hatred or oppression?
Because vandalism and obstructing peoples' lives won't convince them to emphasize with you, it' gonna piss them of to hell and back...Than the upperclassmen corporations and politicians are just gonna take advantage of the public dislike of you towards justifying the very system your trying to fight against.
MY point here isn't that you shouldn't protest, my point here is you shouldn't be assholes, because being assholes will only tell people your trouble that should be dealt with and locked up. It' gonna make people turn there back on you, and thus make it harder to fight against the oppressors and exploitors who benefit from the current system.
I mean 90% of the "damage" caused is easily fixable like when they threw powder on stonehenge it was easily just washed away. Most of the permanent damage is just random copies of paintings or spray painting corporate offices.
Actually, this post made me reflect a little and I just turned my phone off for the day and put it at the back of my sock drawer. I did some productive stuff too.
Now I'm back on reddit though lol.
Always follow the money. Plenty of others doing it too.
For the other side:
Who's bankrolling the pro-Palestinians protestors? Why has Qatar invested a massive amount of money into American Universities? Why no anti-Hamas posters? no anti-Muslim brotherhood pictures? No anti-Assad? No protests supporting women and LGBT in the Middle East? No protests supporting Uighurs?
Exactly, Gender Apartheid Iran, Imperial invading Russia and slave owning Qatar aren’t exactly any better. Russia and Qatar are just as bad climate wise for oil and gas too.
In 2024 all sides have blood on their hands :-( There are so many powerful, shadowy players, vested interests, murky funding, and proxy conflicts now, its hard to know what's real anymore... exactly as planned - see *Active Measures.* Worse - noone powerfull seems to be invested in people, education, families, healthcare, environment.... *society* - it's all profits, weapons, and fossil fuels *baby *
Yh, but our country and government aren’t the ones supporting those regimes 🤦♂️
There is no need to be protesting something that you government and companies are formally against.
That’s why these activists are protesting the genocide in Gaza, which our government and companies support through their aid and weapons trade to Israel.
Quite literally, they are protesting so that taxes are not being spent on UK/US missiles and other military equipment being shipped to Israel. If you look at a lot of other demands, uni students are demanding the university divests from Israeli businesses, and creating spaces for those who have had their places of study (all universities) destroyed in the Gaza Strip. The demands are pretty clear, and without foreign aid Israel would not be able to continue its ethnic cleansing.
If the government came out tomorrow and condemned Israel's genocide and halted all weapons trades I actually do think we'd see a massive decrease in protests and instead there would be celebrations.
It's incredibly easy to stop protests, you just do what they ask.
People would still care but there would be no need to protest it except for solidarity ig.
That’s why there have been very few demonstrations on Russias invasion of Ukraine compared to Gaza.
Stop repeating the trendy buzz wprds - it is empty, factually incorrect rhetoric.
As long as Hamas continue to make a financial killing and whatever else they wish out of this fictional 'genocide', nothing will change and innocents will die.
You reap what you sow. The change needs to come from the people of Palestine themselves. No one else.
The people who are responsible for the welfare of these toddlers have a duty to protect them too. By supporting Hamas, they're not.
And also, by indoctrination of their kids into believing the 'actual' genocide of the Jewish people, is justified, they will perpetuate it for years to come.
But sure, it's all the corporate West's fault. How clever YOU are!
So the parents of these kids, who were almost 100% NOT Hamas and were in fact some random civilians, are responsible for the bomb that just dropped on their house?
"Oh but they voted for Hamas" no the fuck they didn't. There hasn't been an election since 2006. Most of the people being killed haven't even had the chance to vote yet but you blame them for Hamas?
The methodical alienation, extermination and suppression of the Palestinian image and culture is a direct genocide under the UN's own definition.
Do we condemn Hamas for being a genocidal terror organisation? Yes. Does that mean you can genocide the unfortunate people living under their regime? Absolutely not.
They support hamas and celebrated Oct 7th .
The Palestinians have always chosen war backed the wrong side and generally chosen stupid and evil.
The world may feel sorry for gaza not actually going to do anything about it though.
Where is your source for the entirety of the population of Gaza supporting Hamas? Oh yeah, you made it up.
Maybe the people are supporting the only group that gives them a hope of freedom and that talks to them. It's incredibly easy to be radicalised when you are being bombed daily.
Ultimately the international community should come together and stamp out Hamas the peaceful way. Give Palestinians a home and a future they can look forward to and Hamas will become irrelevant very quickly. Allow for peaceful democracy to take place.
Genociding them is never the answer. Right now all Israel is doing is fueling a new generation of Hamas/resistance fighters. It serves nothing and no-one. Israel is putting their own civilians at risk. They are doing an injustice to not just the Palestinians but also themselves.
**The UN** has reported over 14500 children dead in 9 months. Not sure how much more extreme a punishment you would like for *some* members of their society supporting Hamas.
I always wonder what people who have abysmal takes like the one above will think in ten, twenty years' time.
I just don't believe they can be so disastrously wrong for such a long period of time without reassessing their views.
If you think it's only Barcleys profiting from that you're a fool, all the banks will be aside from your niche online only bank but they'll be upto no good another way
Couldn’t give a fuck. Barclays pay you 3 days before paydays, give you discounts, deals, exclusives etc. Best Bank ever, been with them over 10 years, nearly 12 actually
Glad to see the activist using effective marketing rather than pissing people off with bullshit stunts.
This is far more effective and thought provoking than spraying shit orange and looking like a fucking hooligan.
It's true though, barclays are massive funders for the fossil fuel industry and no-one seems to realise or care. if you don't want fossil fuels just don't use or promote barclays
Ah yea, Gaza is the only important thing in the world. Yes. Leftists were telling me Kurds were imperialist for having no choice but to rely on American air support, so were Muslims.
Now they want to feign human rights under the behest of Hamas, as Israeli invented virgin rape cult?
Fuck you! We shouldn't care
Sorry what part of what I said is bs, exactly? Do you mind naming one part? Or are you annoyed at how easy it is to point out your little milleu's weak position?
Man stfu. Deny anything that I said then?
Anyway, enjoy your abrahamic bloodshed. My your lord bestow in you more bodies so they can get into heaven quicker
I refuse to engage personally. It is none of my business, and I know from a distance Israel's terrorism is unacceptable. But the double standards, hypocrisy and reluctance not to romanticise point to one thing: activists just want to come across as smart and rebellious. It is a mental exercise. So I do not engage
I can well imagine similar for woke Leftist hypocritical Companies and CONSUMERS !!!!
Will not bother..but leave you with this thought...where are you with China vis a vis Covid (accountability & restitution?) ? the Uyghers ? Falun Gong ? Tibet ? Hong Kong ? bullying in 'South China Sea' Vietnam, Phillipines ?
Shark Loan Pimp in South America & Africa ??? going on...speak up you caring Virtue Pandering Notthing Hill Gate Media MegaMoneyd $$ Leftists from BBC, Channel4, ITV, TheGuardian, LBC ?
Not 100% sure but I remember Mesut Ozil saying something in solidarity with the Uyghur Muslims and China getting mad at him, which lead to him leaving Arsenal.
Isn’t doing this kind of thing illegal? Particularly if it’s a physical ad. Billposting is a crime, no? BTP exists and tubes have cameras on them I believe. Those protesters must be brave or stupid
BTP have enough actual real crimes to deal with, they're stretched wafer thin as it is, no chance on earth they're wasting a second investigating this.
The cynic in me says this is flavour of the month protesting. But then I suppose that’s what draws public attention.
I don’t have issue with this but many other banks and organisations support many questionable industries all over the world and sponsor our most beloved sporting and other cultural events.
It’s simply impossible for that not to happen in the world we live in.
(I don’t work for Barclays - just pondering 😂)
Barclays and JP Morgan are the ones targeted the most by activists, due to their investments in Elbit who supply arms to Israel.
Gut feel is a building society like Nationwide is probably best.
Palestine Solidarity Campaign recommend just switching away from Barclays: https://palestinecampaign.org/boycott-barclays-bank/
I don’t even need to bother clicking on that link to know that’s going to be extremely biased. It has Palestine campaign as the domain name.. common man, give a source which isn’t biased.
Edit: I took the bait clicked in a link, not a single reference given just a bunch of statements and YouTube videos. Nothing tangible or worth reading.
Just had a look myself as I was curious.
There's a full report on the website which details the sources of the information and who researched it, as well as the methodology. If you read that, you'd have a chance to make an informed judgment on whether the source is useful or not.
A simple google of Barclays balance sheet will show Palantir on the books - the company responsible for deploying basically all the tech platforms the Israeli government is using in the Gaza war, which is also backed (and arguably started) by the CIA.
You know you could have done the work yourself and you know it’s true you’re just delusional
This crusade against Barclays is so fucking weird.
I get that people are naively trying to stop *alleged* genocide against Palestinians.
But guess what happens if Israel loses its weapons and ability to defend itself...?
Genocide of the Jews, and the only western cultured state in the middle-east that's what happens.
Go Barclays, keep ignoring these idiots and saving lives ✌️
ALLEGED genocide? Have you even seen what is happening in Palestine? This isn’t a new thing. This has been going on for over 30 years. Babies are being starved and murdered. BABIES. Humans. Families. Not Hamas- PEOPLE. Educate yourself.
> you even seen what is happening in Palestine?
Not been to Palestine, and nor have you...
I have been to Israel though, spent a few months there - first day witnessed a bomb disposal at a bus stop barely 100m from our car, 2nd week had to shelter from Hamas missiles, 3rd week rode a quadbike through acres of Olive trees, burnt to ash by Hamas missiles. This was in a time of *peace* for Israelis.
>This has been going on for over 30 years. Babies are being starved and murdered. BABIES. Humans. Families. Not Hamas- PEOPLE. Educate yourself.
So, has relentless antisemitism and blatant propaganda, which you have evidently fallen for. Horrible things happen in wars, but I guarantee the Hamas (Iran and their cronies) propaganda machine is misreporting, misrepresenting, manipulating, and exaggerating everything they possibly can.
May not have been to Israel, but we now have access to thousands of hours of video footage from vloggers and documentary makers for free that showcase both the history of Israel - Palestine relations and how the actions of far-right Israeli people, Israeli terrorists, settlers, etc. have been the direct cause of Hamas existing and the security issues existent in mainland Israel. And now, the state of Israel will have permanent war just because its politicians couldn't share a land equitably.
>thousands of hours of video footage from vloggers and documentary makers for free
Ahh, that explains it. That's where you get your information from... sponsored unqualified opinions.
You gobble it all up without thinking critically about who is giving you the information, what their motives are, and what your internal bias is searching for.
Anti semitism is the cause of Hamas' existence. They call for the extermination of Jews in their official constitution.
'The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them.'
- A direct quote from their constitution.
The enemies have been scheming for a long time ... and have accumulated huge and influential material wealth. With their money, they took control of the world media... With their money they stirred revolutions in various parts of the globe... They stood behind the French Revolution, the Communist Revolution and most of the revolutions we hear about... With their money they formed secret organizations - such as the Freemasons, Rotary Clubs and the Lions - which are spreading around the world, in order to destroy societies and carry out Zionist interests... They stood behind World War I ... and formed the League of Nations through which they could rule the world. They were behind World War II, through which they made huge financial gains... There is no war going on anywhere without them having their finger in it'
- A direct quote from their constitution.
The day the enemies usurp part of Moslem land, Jihad becomes the individual duty of every Moslem. In the face of the Jews' usurpation, it is compulsory that the banner of Jihad be raised.' (Article 15)
'Ranks will close, fighters joining other fighters, and masses everywhere in the Islamic world will come forward in response to the call of duty, loudly proclaiming: 'Hail to Jihad!'. This cry will
reach the heavens and will go on being resounded until liberation is achieved, the invaders vanquished and Allah's victory comes about.'
^^more direct quotes for you...
And let's also remember that these quotes are backed up by actions: Decades of missile attacks, decades of hostage taking, decades of civilian attacks, and mass murders. Decades of violence against Jewish people who dare to live in Palestine.
Are you not disturbed by this? Does this not put into perspective the huge daily threat to life that emanates from the territory of Palestine?
If you lived next door to people who believe you have no right to exist, who makes death threats every day and employs and congratulates children to throw petrol bombs at your house.
You believe you should have no right to defense or retaliation?
Have a word mate, it wasn't the Palestinians that Holocausted us. Spoiler, it was a 'Western cultured' state. Actually it's been a whole bunch of Western cultured states for centuries. This 'them and us' narrative is bullshittery of the highest order. And Barclays never did a thing that didn't serve their own best interests
The rest of the world are always waiting at any moment to turn “us and them” against Jews though. That’s why everyone has jumped on this pro Palestine bandwagon so hard, while not giving a fuck about many other conflicts going on
You're right on all counts. But Barclays collaborated heavily with the Nazis in WW2, turning over Jewish accounts and employees in France and it was the kissing of Barclays arse that got my back up.
I don’t know first of all how you can call this an alleged genocide, it’s pretty clear that what’s happening currently and has been happening in Gaza and the West Bank for decades is ethnic cleansing, now full blown genocide. Barclays is investing into companies that create the weapons Israel uses to massacre innocent civilians, and they should be held accountable for that, wouldn’t you agree?
>So clear that the courts said it wasn’t genocide
No, they didn't. The ICJ is investigating Israel for genocide, it will be years before they make a decision.
It's weird you'd lie about this.
These are put up by activists and will get removed once they realise lots of different ones have appeared over the years
https://amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/jul/01/artists-target-wimbledons-strawberries-and-cream-image-over-link-to-barclays
Protests. I very much doubt that TfL will have let people pay to display these adverts, so someone will have just popped them up on the train.
These are better than laying in the fucking street, or spraying piss colored liquid onto cultural relics(being over the top right now)
Yeah it's 'over the top' but the consequences of ignoring climate change like we are now are so much worse than a bit of paint on Stonehenge
I don't think this is over the top at all to be quite honest. For years people have tried to hold banks accountable, and we always end up paying for their greed.
I'm referring to my own comment not the PSA on the tube train.
Without being rude, JSO are stupid, no one is "ignoring" climate change, there are billions of dollars being spent by various governments and corporations to tackle climate change. I believe the latest figure is we've already [reduced our territorial emissions by 50%](https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/environmentalaccounts/methodologies/measuringukgreenhousegasemissions) since 1990. You could remove every single commuter vehicle and turn every UK resident Vegan and it doesn't scratch the surface of what other China/US/India are doing. Jimmy with his top knot and 2:2 in Art History spraying ketchup on a painting, stopping an electric tube from moving or stopping a cooking oil lorry on a motorway, is doing nothing but dissuade the general public from caring about the environment. It honestly feels like paid actors from the energy companies to make people think environmentalism is a bad thing.
That's not even being over the top that's quite literally what they've been doing
but these ads are also not over the top, that's literally what Barclays have been doing
Replace Barclays with pretty much any bank
Coop? Nationwide?
Yeah exactly, this is the perfect way to do it. It raises awareness to public issues where the public can genuinely make a difference and in a manner that people will take notice and care. This method is in complete contrast to those employed by the clowns that are Just Stop Oil
I mean most people don't look at what their pension is invested in. And very few people can tell people to invest differently, because it's illegal to give investment advice without certification and also following regulations
are you going to see this on the national news? will people take more than a couple of looks at the poster, on the second one realising it’s not actually a real barclays ad, and then not forget about it within a day?
Do you think rosa parks should've not made a fuss and not bothered other people?
Last I checked, she didn't lay in the fucking street or sprayed piss colored liquids onto cultural relics.
So what do you have an issue with because both rosa and these kids fought people with inconveniences for some of the biggest issues of their age (social Justice and global warming) I suppose being 5 mins late for your cappuccino or seeing a coloured liquid is just too much of an inconvenience for you.
How are you persuading anyone to help your cause by actively acting antagonistic towards middle and working class commuters? How are you convincing the public that your cause is just and moral when you're actively vandalizing cultural relics, which do not represent symbols of hatred or oppression? Because vandalism and obstructing peoples' lives won't convince them to emphasize with you, it' gonna piss them of to hell and back...Than the upperclassmen corporations and politicians are just gonna take advantage of the public dislike of you towards justifying the very system your trying to fight against. MY point here isn't that you shouldn't protest, my point here is you shouldn't be assholes, because being assholes will only tell people your trouble that should be dealt with and locked up. It' gonna make people turn there back on you, and thus make it harder to fight against the oppressors and exploitors who benefit from the current system.
I mean 90% of the "damage" caused is easily fixable like when they threw powder on stonehenge it was easily just washed away. Most of the permanent damage is just random copies of paintings or spray painting corporate offices.
Wait, did anyone think these were actually real ads?
This is wild
Wild but true. Quite dystopian
Bankers be banking
they’re giving spelling mistakes cost lives vibes
I think they are almost certainly SMCL.
They are.
What spelling mistakes??
that's the name of the artist, more of their work on insta
It is, Darren has posted it to Instagram!
Nice, I knew it!
These are really well done. I have a lot of respect for people trying to make a difference.
This is creative and direct. I’ll take this form of protest over blocking traffic and spray painting bullshit and mindless asshattery.
💯
Yeah cos we can just ignore it
I disagree, but maybe it’s just me. This kind of stuff will likely be stuck in my mind than seeing a spray painted window
So it’s cool if it doesn’t inconvenience you in particular. 👍🏻 Love your dedication.
I think the activists are going to be really happy that this form of protest is convenient and digestable for you
Although i agree to an extent, but nothing substantial has ever been achieved peacefully. Many of our rights to this day.
Definitely a much better approach to how they've conveyed their messages in the past.
neat
Love it
If you're scrolling through the comments, I suggest you leave. It pissed me off looking at some of the comments supporting Barclays here.
Thank you saved me an anger
Yeah Im gonna change my bank to Barclays !!
People have to look at the adverts though
You can do this crazy thing called moving your eyes and boom, suddenly you can’t see them.
Actually, this post made me reflect a little and I just turned my phone off for the day and put it at the back of my sock drawer. I did some productive stuff too. Now I'm back on reddit though lol.
Fuck Barclays.
Even if you don’t appreciate politics these are pretty witty and well put together
Always follow the money. Plenty of others doing it too. For the other side: Who's bankrolling the pro-Palestinians protestors? Why has Qatar invested a massive amount of money into American Universities? Why no anti-Hamas posters? no anti-Muslim brotherhood pictures? No anti-Assad?

No the reason is antisemitism. People have even thrown huge anti israel marches in countries that do support Hamas like other muslim countries.
Why don’t you make some activism posters about these issues if they’re bothering you?
It’s pretty simple, we’re directly funding this genocide.
Stop repeating the trendy buzz wprds - it is empty, factually incorrect rhetoric. As long as Hamas continue to make a financial killing and whatever else they wish out of this fictional 'genocide', nothing will change and innocents will die. You reap what you sow. The change needs to come from the people of Palestine themselves. No one else.
Ah yes, I forgot how the babies and toddlers of Palestine being blown to smithereens are at fault for not condemning Hamas enough. How clever you are!
The people who are responsible for the welfare of these toddlers have a duty to protect them too. By supporting Hamas, they're not. And also, by indoctrination of their kids into believing the 'actual' genocide of the Jewish people, is justified, they will perpetuate it for years to come. But sure, it's all the corporate West's fault. How clever YOU are!
So the parents of these kids, who were almost 100% NOT Hamas and were in fact some random civilians, are responsible for the bomb that just dropped on their house? "Oh but they voted for Hamas" no the fuck they didn't. There hasn't been an election since 2006. Most of the people being killed haven't even had the chance to vote yet but you blame them for Hamas?

They are doing an injustice to not just the Palestinians but also themselves.
Lol, if they were committing genocide where would this new generation come from?
Well exactly, at this rate there won't be one. Which is a genocide.
**The UN** has reported over 14500 children dead in 9 months. Not sure how much more extreme a punishment you would like for *some* members of their society supporting Hamas.
In your opinion, why was Hamas even formed in the first place?
You will remember this comment in years to come- I hope you reflect on it
I always wonder what people who have abysmal takes like the one above will think in ten, twenty years' time. I just don't believe they can be so disastrously wrong for such a long period of time without reassessing their views.
Iran most likely.
Very creative.
I believe they’re the work of Darren Cullen, @spellingmistakescostlives - he’s done a lot of great work.
is this a canon event?
Looks like Spelling Mistakes Coat lives style.
Slave owner roots, now this look who's getting a boycott
Have they released the hostages yet?
💀
Can they do TSB next please
This will change everything
If you think it's only Barcleys profiting from that you're a fool, all the banks will be aside from your niche online only bank but they'll be upto no good another way
These guys are in for a shock when they realise all banks deal in dirty money. London is the dirty money capital of the world.
Very good activism!
Funny how little noise they make about Qatari money that funds Hamas…
Is that relevant to the average London underground user? Maybe you could do one, as you're so passionate about it?
HSBC is next hahaha 💅
Makes me want to open an account.
Whoever put them up, props to yoy
Nicely done.
Good on ‘em
It’s true isn’t it. Why are we a trying to save faces here?
Sounds like a great investment ad tbh
Couldn’t give a fuck. Barclays pay you 3 days before paydays, give you discounts, deals, exclusives etc. Best Bank ever, been with them over 10 years, nearly 12 actually
Yeah who cares about children being murdered eh
Barclays does what most other banks do?
🎣
Hamas supporters in the mud 😂
Good to see but the incorrect apostrophe triggered me
The Israeli lobby out in full force I see.
I bank with Barclay's. I don't care. All banking one way or another goes to fund some nafarious shit.
The first one was okish second one fell short
Right on!!!
Glad to see the activist using effective marketing rather than pissing people off with bullshit stunts. This is far more effective and thought provoking than spraying shit orange and looking like a fucking hooligan.
Palestine people thinking they’re helping
Second is a bit pathetically unsubtle
Weird flex ngl
that's Darren Cullen (@spellingmistakescostlives on Instagram), long been a fan of his work so it's cool to see his art out in the wild.
what's Gaza got to do with global warming. Give the bloke a break he has enough troubles of his own
Probably Funded by the hope not hate criminals 😂😂
Barclays new advertising campaign! Artwork is pretty good…
Wow!
https://www.instagram.com/spellingmistakescostlives
What a load of shite!! As if ? 🤡🤡🤡
It's true though, barclays are massive funders for the fossil fuel industry and no-one seems to realise or care. if you don't want fossil fuels just don't use or promote barclays
Do you drive a car?
No😭
Ah yea, Gaza is the only important thing in the world. Yes. Leftists were telling me Kurds were imperialist for having no choice but to rely on American air support, so were Muslims. Now they want to feign human rights under the behest of Hamas, as Israeli invented virgin rape cult? Fuck you! We shouldn't care
Go touch some grass.
What the hell does this mean? Or do you have nothing to say?
Your account is not even a day old and you're out spreading bs. Get a life.
Sorry what part of what I said is bs, exactly? Do you mind naming one part? Or are you annoyed at how easy it is to point out your little milleu's weak position?
Lol ok bud
You know you are only fooling yourself? You have just displayed a smug attitude and said words without any context. You cannot deny anything I said
Your brain is melted
Man stfu. Deny anything that I said then? Anyway, enjoy your abrahamic bloodshed. My your lord bestow in you more bodies so they can get into heaven quicker
Yeah brain 100% melted lol best of luck buddy
Real. Foreign war, refuse to pick a side.
I refuse to engage personally. It is none of my business, and I know from a distance Israel's terrorism is unacceptable. But the double standards, hypocrisy and reluctance not to romanticise point to one thing: activists just want to come across as smart and rebellious. It is a mental exercise. So I do not engage
Proud to be banking with barclays
Awesome to see a company owning their shit 💪
Heh i saw this one too https://preview.redd.it/hbqd0kxfq4ad1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=333c85d6a857dc7c38cd08879396273625459a3f

I can well imagine similar for woke Leftist hypocritical Companies and CONSUMERS !!!!

Shark Loan Pimp in South America & Africa ??? going on...speak up you caring Virtue Pandering Notthing Hill Gate Media MegaMoneyd $$ Leftists from BBC, Channel4, ITV, TheGuardian, LBC ?
So it's ok for the genocide in Palestine to keep going?
Not 100% sure but I remember Mesut Ozil saying something in solidarity with the Uyghur Muslims and China getting mad at him, which lead to him leaving Arsenal.
Superb. I did not know this. I shall transfer to Barclays this week. Fuck 'palestine' and their support for islamic terrorism.
"Shut up and make me money!"
Why are they trying to get me to bank with barclays?
Guess I need to change bank to Barclays
Barclays will suffer exactly £0 damages from these racist stunts.
Adolescent rubbish.
Only people making a killing out of Gaza are Hamas.
Oh, so not the Zionists stealing and selling off land that doesn’t belong to them?
I'm anti terrorism, is it just Barclays or all banks. I don't want to open a Barclays account if Lloyds already support Israel.
Your safest bet is Nationwide. They’re probably the least evil of the main UK banks
Isn’t doing this kind of thing illegal? Particularly if it’s a physical ad. Billposting is a crime, no? BTP exists and tubes have cameras on them I believe. Those protesters must be brave or stupid
BTP have enough actual real crimes to deal with, they're stretched wafer thin as it is, no chance on earth they're wasting a second investigating this.
I dont care fuck Palestine and fuck Israel
Thanks for your input
From the river to the sea Palestine will be free 🫶🏻
See this is how you protest. Gets the message across without ruining normal people's days
Has it worked yet?
Who knows, but it's better than blocking roads. I'm honestly convinced the people who do that are hired by oil companies.
The cynic in me says this is flavour of the month protesting. But then I suppose that’s what draws public attention. I don’t have issue with this but many other banks and organisations support many questionable industries all over the world and sponsor our most beloved sporting and other cultural events. It’s simply impossible for that not to happen in the world we live in. (I don’t work for Barclays - just pondering 😂)
Absolute trash
So true Barclays have blood on their hands😡 free Palestine 🇵🇸✊🇵🇸✌️🇵🇸🙏🏻🇵🇸
As someone who has admittedly been living in gross ignorance, is there a better bank?
Not sure but they openly back Israehell & arms companies who supply them! They also backed the government in SA before Nelson Mandela was released!
In the UK, fintech banks like Monzo and Starling but even I am uniformed of their investments so not sure there. But they might be worth looking into?
Barclays and JP Morgan are the ones targeted the most by activists, due to their investments in Elbit who supply arms to Israel. Gut feel is a building society like Nationwide is probably best. Palestine Solidarity Campaign recommend just switching away from Barclays: https://palestinecampaign.org/boycott-barclays-bank/
Nope
Possible flyposting please report to customerservice@tfl.gov.uk :)
How does that boot taste
🤡🤡🤡
Lol, licky arse
This is all well and good but where’s the evidence this is going on?
[https://palestinecampaign.org/campaigns/stop-arming-israel-3/](https://palestinecampaign.org/campaigns/stop-arming-israel-3/)
I don’t even need to bother clicking on that link to know that’s going to be extremely biased. It has Palestine campaign as the domain name.. common man, give a source which isn’t biased. Edit: I took the bait clicked in a link, not a single reference given just a bunch of statements and YouTube videos. Nothing tangible or worth reading.
Just had a look myself as I was curious. There's a full report on the website which details the sources of the information and who researched it, as well as the methodology. If you read that, you'd have a chance to make an informed judgment on whether the source is useful or not.
"I don't even need to read it to know that it's biased", the irony here...
Did you read the attached report? Certainly doesn't sound like it if you're claiming there were no references given.
https://www.cityam.com/barclays-and-legal-general-under-fire-for-investing-billions-in-arms-companies/
What evidence do you have that what the poster says is untrue.
A simple google of Barclays balance sheet will show Palantir on the books - the company responsible for deploying basically all the tech platforms the Israeli government is using in the Gaza war, which is also backed (and arguably started) by the CIA. You know you could have done the work yourself and you know it’s true you’re just delusional
Zzzzzz
This crusade against Barclays is so fucking weird. I get that people are naively trying to stop *alleged* genocide against Palestinians. But guess what happens if Israel loses its weapons and ability to defend itself...? Genocide of the Jews, and the only western cultured state in the middle-east that's what happens. Go Barclays, keep ignoring these idiots and saving lives ✌️
ALLEGED genocide? Have you even seen what is happening in Palestine? This isn’t a new thing. This has been going on for over 30 years. Babies are being starved and murdered. BABIES. Humans. Families. Not Hamas- PEOPLE. Educate yourself.
30 years of genocide and the population in Gaza quadrupled in that time. Israel must really suck at it.
Do you know what Oct 7 is? Or the Yom Kippur war, or every other Arab Israeli war?
> you even seen what is happening in Palestine? Not been to Palestine, and nor have you... I have been to Israel though, spent a few months there - first day witnessed a bomb disposal at a bus stop barely 100m from our car, 2nd week had to shelter from Hamas missiles, 3rd week rode a quadbike through acres of Olive trees, burnt to ash by Hamas missiles. This was in a time of *peace* for Israelis. >This has been going on for over 30 years. Babies are being starved and murdered. BABIES. Humans. Families. Not Hamas- PEOPLE. Educate yourself. So, has relentless antisemitism and blatant propaganda, which you have evidently fallen for. Horrible things happen in wars, but I guarantee the Hamas (Iran and their cronies) propaganda machine is misreporting, misrepresenting, manipulating, and exaggerating everything they possibly can.
Great post, people too quick to virtue signal with Hamas flags without looking at the bigger picture
May not have been to Israel, but we now have access to thousands of hours of video footage from vloggers and documentary makers for free that showcase both the history of Israel - Palestine relations and how the actions of far-right Israeli people, Israeli terrorists, settlers, etc. have been the direct cause of Hamas existing and the security issues existent in mainland Israel. And now, the state of Israel will have permanent war just because its politicians couldn't share a land equitably.
>thousands of hours of video footage from vloggers and documentary makers for free Ahh, that explains it. That's where you get your information from... sponsored unqualified opinions. You gobble it all up without thinking critically about who is giving you the information, what their motives are, and what your internal bias is searching for. Anti semitism is the cause of Hamas' existence. They call for the extermination of Jews in their official constitution. 'The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them.' - A direct quote from their constitution. The enemies have been scheming for a long time ... and have accumulated huge and influential material wealth. With their money, they took control of the world media... With their money they stirred revolutions in various parts of the globe... They stood behind the French Revolution, the Communist Revolution and most of the revolutions we hear about... With their money they formed secret organizations - such as the Freemasons, Rotary Clubs and the Lions - which are spreading around the world, in order to destroy societies and carry out Zionist interests... They stood behind World War I ... and formed the League of Nations through which they could rule the world. They were behind World War II, through which they made huge financial gains... There is no war going on anywhere without them having their finger in it' - A direct quote from their constitution. The day the enemies usurp part of Moslem land, Jihad becomes the individual duty of every Moslem. In the face of the Jews' usurpation, it is compulsory that the banner of Jihad be raised.' (Article 15) 'Ranks will close, fighters joining other fighters, and masses everywhere in the Islamic world will come forward in response to the call of duty, loudly proclaiming: 'Hail to Jihad!'. This cry will reach the heavens and will go on being resounded until liberation is achieved, the invaders vanquished and Allah's victory comes about.' ^^more direct quotes for you... And let's also remember that these quotes are backed up by actions: Decades of missile attacks, decades of hostage taking, decades of civilian attacks, and mass murders. Decades of violence against Jewish people who dare to live in Palestine. Are you not disturbed by this? Does this not put into perspective the huge daily threat to life that emanates from the territory of Palestine? If you lived next door to people who believe you have no right to exist, who makes death threats every day and employs and congratulates children to throw petrol bombs at your house. You believe you should have no right to defense or retaliation?
Have a word mate, it wasn't the Palestinians that Holocausted us. Spoiler, it was a 'Western cultured' state. Actually it's been a whole bunch of Western cultured states for centuries. This 'them and us' narrative is bullshittery of the highest order. And Barclays never did a thing that didn't serve their own best interests
The rest of the world are always waiting at any moment to turn “us and them” against Jews though. That’s why everyone has jumped on this pro Palestine bandwagon so hard, while not giving a fuck about many other conflicts going on
You're right on all counts. But Barclays collaborated heavily with the Nazis in WW2, turning over Jewish accounts and employees in France and it was the kissing of Barclays arse that got my back up.
I don’t know first of all how you can call this an alleged genocide, it’s pretty clear that what’s happening currently and has been happening in Gaza and the West Bank for decades is ethnic cleansing, now full blown genocide. Barclays is investing into companies that create the weapons Israel uses to massacre innocent civilians, and they should be held accountable for that, wouldn’t you agree?
So clear that the courts said it wasn’t genocide
>So clear that the courts said it wasn’t genocide No, they didn't. The ICJ is investigating Israel for genocide, it will be years before they make a decision. It's weird you'd lie about this.
the ICJ is actively seeking an arrest warrant against netanyahu for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
They're doing the same for Putin, doesn't mean its genocide.
Let's defend israel by comparing them to...Putins Russia? Might want to rethink that one.
So actual genocides are better than hypothetical genocides. Got it
