	"description": "Bedfordshire Divest for Palestine is a diverse group of local residents, workers, students, retirees and trade unionists, united in our commitment to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people amid the ongoing suffering inflicted by the Israeli state. Israel’s grave violations of Palestinian rights and international law are enabled by products, services, and funding from complicit companies and financial institutions. These include manufacturers and suppliers of weapons, military technology, and infrastructure, as well as businesses active in illegal Israeli settlements built on occupied Palestinian land. Research by the Palestine Solidarity Campaign shows the Bedfordshire Pension Fund holds over £31.5 million in such investments. This includes over £7 million in Alphabet Inc (Google’s parent company), £4.5 million in Amazon, and nearly £1 million in Cisco Systems, all major providers of cloud and computing infrastructure to the Israeli government and military. Additional investments include Booking.com and Airbnb, which list properties in illegal settlements, and banks such as Barclays and HSBC, both complicit in financing the occupation. Bedford Borough Council manages the Bedfordshire Pension Fund, which serves local government workers across Bedfordshire, including Bedford, CBC and Luton. Our petition calls on Bedford Borough Council to divest from companies complicit in the Israeli occupation, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and potential genocide. Once we reach are target number, Bedfordshire Divest for Palestine will deliver this petition to the council and to the pension committee. To sign this petition, you need to be an individual who lives, studies or works in the Bedford Borough council area.",
