Of course it was...."debt consolidation move" yeah..OK...whatever you say.

Barclays has long and bitter experience of BDS movements during the aparheid S. Africa era, they're getting ahead of the game this time, like Deutsche Bank did in 2010.

The New York State Assembly just voted to ban the BDS movement in New York. How 'bout them sour apples?
Politicians can vote whatever measures they like, doesn't bother me. If anything I find it encouraging; the more laws against BDS they make, just proves how afraid of BDS they really are. In any event, no law can force a customer to buy a particular product, or a businessman to do business with a particular company.
It is not about being afraid, it is about what is wrong.
I agree. BDS exists
because of the great wrong done to the Palestinians, who have been paying for the collective guilt of the West for the last 70 years or so.
The west did not force palestinians into camps for half a century. They might have paid for the care of refugees but they are not the ones preventing them from being absorbed by their host nation. West is not keeping them from having rights to leave the camps or find work.
The west is not feeding them hate and violence against the west.
The wrong was done by other arab nations, not the west.
