Boicot, Desinversión, Sanciones (BDS) es un movimiento dirigido por palestinos por la libertad, la justicia y la igualdad. BDS sostiene el principio simple que los palestinos tienen derecho a los mismos derechos que el resto de la humanidad.
Marking AXA’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), Palestine solidarity activists once again demonstrated creatively in front of the building where the “AGM ceremony” was taking place to increase pressure on AXA to divest from Israeli apartheid.
French multinational insurance giant AXA currently holds shares worth US$ 15.5M in four Israeli banks that finance Israel’s illegal settlements according to the recently launched, second #DontBuyIntoOccupation report. In total, AXA invests US$ 957M in companies directly involved in Israel’s illegal settlement enterprise in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem.
If AXA wants to stop being complicit in gross human rights violations and respect its climate change and biodiversity strategy, it must divest from Israeli apartheid!
On eve of AXA’s annual general meeting (AGM), United Nations Special Rapporteur on human rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Michael Lynk, called on the French insurance giant to fully divest from Israeli banks while activists gathered in several cities across Europe raising the same demand.
