Instead of causing trouble and damage over here in the UK, these supporters of Palestinians should pop over to Gaza to fight for their Palestinian cause(s), as Hamas is now openly criticised by those existing in Gaza for the plight they are in, causing Hamas to turn upon their Palestinian "hosts". Hamas are not about standing-up for Palestinians, but the destruction of Israel (to please Iran and others in the area). I feel if Israel had not always wanted to play hardball in the region their neighbours wouldn't hate them so much.
The background to this protest/vandalism is Barclays willingness, with Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank and others (according to the Financial Times) to buy Israeli "war bonds", these being bundles of war debt incurred by Israel, upon which Israel promises to pay an annual %return (profit) to bond holders, until a time when those bonds are redeemed for their original purchase price. Such bonds are a way for Israel to defer the cost of their ongoing war by persuading banks to fund the war at a fraction of the actual cost of the war. The banks pay Israel's war bills now and trust Israel to repay them at later dates, causing critics to say the banks are funding war. Such a concept is not new: I was told war bonds were the invention of Rothchild's bank, hundreds of years ago, who would "fund" both side in a war!
Getting back to the protestors, I'm sure they will achieve nothing here, as armchair "anarchists" rarely do; are they naive enough to believe that only Barclays is "bad"? - They are all "bad". So, PALESTINE ACTION please know that expressing your indignation of Israel et-al will count for nothing and merely annoy the greater population within which you protest. With the backing of the USA, Israel are omnipotent in their region; not without faults, but definitely "top dog".
Before you accuse me of Israeli or Jewish bias, read some of my previous articles.
