UPDATE: WE WON THIS CAMPAIGN! We have collectively forced AXA to divest from all Israeli banks that finance illegal Israeli settlements on stolen Palestinian land. See our April 21, 2024 press release about this win.

Amidst the rampant destruction and starvation facing millions of Palestinians, AXA – a global insurance giant – is posing as “progressive” while funneling millions into Israel’s relentless theft and destruction of Palestinian land.

The world's highest court ordered Israel to prevent all acts of genocide. This verdict also puts the spotlight on ALL corporations to stop enabling violence against Palestinians.

That’s where our movement steps in. Four years ago, we made AXA divest from Israel’s biggest weapons manufacturer– we can do it again and ensure this corporation also stops financing Israel’s illegal Jewish-only settlements built on stolen Palestinian land:

AXA has been twisting the truth in order to save their brand and reputation. But the truth is that AXA is using is still investing money in illegal and deadly settlement enterprise directly or indirectly -violating their very own commitments featured in AXA’s responsible investment policy. We can’t let this go on.

Banks like Hapoalim are the backbone of the cruel and illegal settlement industry, crushing Palestinian lives everyday and destroying Palestine’s environment.

Israel dumps 80% of the settlements’ waste in the occupied Palestinian territory, contaminating all Palestinian natural resources – including water. Even before Israel’s latest assault on Gaza, 97% of Gaza’s drinking water was already unfit for consumption and is a leading cause of child mortality. We must end this injustice. 

Our community has already done incredible work targeting AXA, from getting the insurer to divest from Israel’s biggest arms company, Elbit Systems, to getting AXA to adopt its landmark gas policy to stop covering new gas fields.

Let’s do it again – Palestinians need our support now more than ever.
