Several protests are taking place on the 5th of November and the rest of the week outside branches of the bank ASB across the country.
These protests are being organised as part of Justice for Palestine’s ‘Don’t Bank on Apartheid’ campaign who oppose the companies investment practices which, they say, are financing Israel’s actions in the Westbank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza.
The campaign is calling for ASB to end their investments in the communications company Motorola Solutions Incorporated and say that if ASB does not divest from Motorola Solutions, then a number of their customers will switch banks.
Producer Josef spoke to Nadia Abu-Shanab, a member of Justice for Palestine and a Campaign Organiser for 'Don’t Bank on Apartheid,' about the protests, boycotting, and why ASB specifically is being targeted by the protests.
