On February 11, Pro-Palestine and climate activists staged multiple protests against various institutions for their affiliations or financial ties with entities they accuse of supporting Israel's actions in Palestine or contributing to environmental harm. A significant sit-in demonstration occurred at the British Museum to protest its new 10-year partnership with oil giant BP, which activists claim is complicit in what they describe as Israel's genocide in Palestine and contributes to environmental degradation by drilling for oil off the Gaza coast. Similar protests were reported outside Barclays bank branches, accused of supporting Israel's actions against Palestine, with Barclays denying the allegations. Additionally, Seattle closed a light rail stop due to an anti-Israel protest, and a protest was also reported at the Museum of Modern Art. These demonstrations are part of a broader wave of activism focusing on the intersection of environmental issues and the Palestine-Israel conflict.
