<p><a href="https://www.thecanary.co/topics/palestine-action/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Palestine Action</a> has once again piled the pressure on genocidal insurer Allianz – as it continues to prop-up <a href="https://www.thecanary.co/topics/israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Israel’s</a> weapons manufacturer Elbit amid Donald Trump’s <a href="https://www.thecanary.co/global/world-analysis/2025/02/05/trump-gaza-ethnic-cleansing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">calls for ethnic cleansing</a> in Gaza.</p>
<h3>Allianz: Facing The Wrath Of Palestine Action Again</h3>
<p>During the early hours of 5 February, Palestine Action once again
targeted Allianz, this time with a direct action protest at the
company’s Milton Keynes office:</p>

<p>Activists had smashed windows and covered the building in red paint:</p>

<p>The action has been taken as part of an escalating campaign to force
Allianz to drop its financial ties and end its insurance policies for
Elbit Systems – Israel’s largest weapons firm and a key player in the
ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.</p>
<p>The protest follows last week’s disruption of Allianz’s operations, <a href="https://www.thecanary.co/uk/news/2025/01/29/palestine-action-allianz-israel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which saw 15 offices across Europe</a> targeted, daubed in blood-red paint, their windows smashed, with <a href="https://freedomnews.org.uk/2024/10/08/activists-target-ten-allianz-offices-over-elbit-links/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">10 branches in Britain likewise struck</a>
in October. These actions are sending a clear message: it must end its
complicity in genocide by dropping Elbit Systems. Allianz continues to
fuel the massacre of Palestinians by underwriting and insuring Elbit, a
company that manufactures drones, bombs, and <a href="https://www.whoprofits.org/companies/company/3794" target="_blank" rel="noopener">other weapons used by the Israeli military</a> in its genocidal campaign against Palestinians.</p>
<p>“We won’t stop until Allianz drop Elbit Systems” said a spokesperson
for Palestine Action. “Allianz is complicit in the systematic genocide
of Palestinians. If they keep underwriting Elbit Systems, we will
continue our resistance. There will be no safe haven for war criminals”.</p>
<h3>Drop Elbit</h3>
<p>Palestine Action’s direct actions are targeting multinational
corporations like Allianz that not only profit from the genocide of the
Palestinian people, but facilitate it. Without insurance, Elbit could
not operate in the UK. Allianz, a global insurance giant, which as been
underwriting Elbit Systems for years, is complicit in Israel’s war
crimes.</p>
<p>It has previously been described as Elbit’s “<a href="http://wri-irg.org/en/story/2012/campaign-month-no-allianz-israeli-apartheid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">principle institutional shareholder</a>“, at-one-point owning over 2% of the company. The finance company continues to hold thousands of shares in Elbit Systems Ltd. [<a href="http://fintel.io/so/us/eslt" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer nofollow noopener">5</a>],
while its subsidiary ‘Allianz Insurance Products Trust’ provides
insurance services for Elbit Systems UK, including employment insurance.</p>
