War on Want said more than 24,000 people emailed HSBC with concerns over its investment in Elbit and activists picketed retail branches of the bank in the UK.

Ryvka Barnard, a senior campaigner with War on Want, said the bank had taken "a positive first step" but added that it needed to act further.

"Doing business with companies like Elbit means profiting from violence and human rights violation, which is both immoral and a contravention of international law, " Barnard said.

Good. I wouldn't want killers and their suppliers and runners on my bus.
That's the difference between us and you. We uphold the law, the decency and rights which confound your crimes, brutalities and profits.
