GEOPOLITIQUE

I wish to alert you on the fact that AXA’s insurance services are currently behaving unacceptably in terms of international investments. AXA currently has investments in two of the largest Israeli banks listed in the United Nations database as companies involved in Israel’s illegal settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, which is equivalent to a war crime under international law. AXA also invests in a number of international companies that do business with Israeli settlements. Not only is financial support for illegal Israeli settlements contrary to international law, it also destroys the environment. The systematic exploitation of Palestinian natural resources, including water, land, gas and oil, Dead Sea minerals and stone reserves, creates a coercive environment aimed at driving Palestinian communities from their ancestral land for the benefit of Israel’s apartheid economy and the illegal expansion of its settlements. I find AXA’s attitude reprehensible and as such, I have advised my family and friends against buying AXA insurance policies given the fact that your company is contributing to Israeli apartheid and its systematic destruction of the environment. More than 150,000 people around the world are calling on AXA to end its support for Israeli apartheid, which oppresses millions of Palestinians and destroys their natural resources, land and livelihoods. I am extremely disappointed that AXA has done nothing to end this complicity, while still claiming to stand for climate justice. As far as I am concerned, I will therefore boycott AXA as long as it remains complicit in the Israeli apartheid, and I implore you to do everything you can to put an end to this situation.”
