PALESTINIAN rights activists bombarded HSBC with tweets today demanding that the bank divest from companies complicit in Israeli war crimes.
The Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) organised a “Twitter storm” to digitally disrupt the HSBC annual general meeting with a barrage of calls for the bank to ditch its investment in bulldozer firm Caterpillar.
The firm, in which HSBC holds a stake worth nearly £100 million, provides militarised bulldozers used by the Israeli army to destroy Palestinian homes.
