#Allianz Lebanon

[beardedmrbean]

Dozens of pro-Palestinian activists occupied and vandalised offices of the insurer Allianz overnight, throwing red paint over walls and windows in protest at the firm’s links with Israel.

Surrey Police said three activists had been arrested at the Allianz Insurance building in Guildford. 

A man and two women were detained on suspicion of aggravated trespass and criminal damage, and were being held in custody. The force said inquiries remained ongoing.

The action began on Monday evening as people around the world commemorated the first anniversary of the Oct 7 Hamas attacks on Israel.

Palestine Action said it targeted 10 offices owned by the German financial services firm in protest at the company’s investment in Elbit Systems, Israel’s biggest weapons firm. It has said Allianz is one of Elbit Systems’ “principal institutional shareholders”.

In a statement, the group called for Allianz to pull out of Israel, adding: “Without insurance, Elbit couldn’t operate in Britain. Palestine Action will cost more than you gain from enabling genocide. 

“Allianz, it’s time to stop insuring and investing in Israeli weapons firm Elbit Systems.”

Nine of the occupations ended within hours, but the Guildford office remained occupied on Tuesday morning. 

A number of Palestine Action supporters could be seen on the roof of the office’s entrance, spraying the walls with red paint and daubing slogans on the windows that read “drop Elbit” and “free Palestine”.

A police team trained in the removal of protesters at height arrived at  Allianz Insurance building by mid-morning, and staff were asked to work from home. Surrey Police later said the three activists had been arrested, bringing an end to the occupation.

Supt Mark Offord said: “Officers were sent to the premises as soon as we became aware that the protesters had broken into the Allianz Insurance premises. While we recognise the right to protest, there is no excuse for anybody using it as an excuse to engage in criminal activity.”

Sites in Manchester, Lancaster, Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol and Milton Keynes were also targeted. The cost of repairing the damage is estimated to run into tens of thousands of pounds.

In September, the group vandalised 10 branches of Barclays Bank in protest against what it described as the bank’s ties to Israel. 

The targeting of Allianz offices came as vigils were held to remember those killed and taken hostage by Hamas on Oct 7. 

Palestine Action claims Israel’s response to Hamas, which has killed as many as 41,000 Palestinians in Gaza, has justified its tactics of direct action against businesses with links to the Jewish state.

Elbit System manufactures over 85 per cent of Israel’s drones, including quadcopters used by the nation’s military to perform targeted attacks.

The group added: “Elbit has publicly advertised its weaponry as being ‘battle-tested’ on Palestinians. Its business operations are central to Israeli war crimes in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, and its technologies uphold the brutal occupation regime.

“These nationwide actions serve as a reminder that, throughout the past 12 months, Western capital has continued to profit from the mass murder of Palestinians. 

“If Allianz refuses to understand that dealing with Elbit is immoral, it must be made clear that maintaining its involvement will become increasingly unprofitable.”

A spokesman for Allianz said: “We have had disruption overnight at several of our offices. The safety and security of our colleagues is paramount, and we have closed these sites today. Our operations and service to customers and clients are unaffected. As this is an ongoing police matter we have no further comment at this stage.”

Police said officers were called at 4am to reports of red paint being sprayed onto two buildings in the City of London. They arrested a 19-year-old man on suspicion of criminal damage following a chase on foot.  The offices were later sealed off by police.

Rezept: Treya

Huhn mit Spaghettini oder Nudeln. Gesehen im Buch von: Claudia Roden, Das Buch der jüdischen Küche. Eine Odyssee von Samarkand bis New York, Seite 290. Ausserdem einige Anmerkungen zur Geschichte der Juden im Libanon, ein Link mit Bildern zum Leben vor "80 - 90 Jahren", und ein Artikel zur Schule der "Alliance" im Wadi - dem jüdischen Viertel, in Beirut. Ausserdem ein Link mit einem kurzen und prägnant formulierten Artikel zu "Stories about the Jews of Beirut".

Zutaten für 6 Portionen:

6 Hühnerfilets ohne Haut und Knochen mit ca. 800 g Gesamtgewicht, in Streifen

3 EL Maiskeim- oder Sonnenblumenöl

Samen von 4 Kardamonkapseln

Saft von 1/2 bis 1 Zitrone

3/4 TL Ingwerpulver

Salz und Pfeffer

1/2 TL Safranfäden oder Safranpulver (optional)

500 g Spaghettini, Fadennudeln oder dünne frische Nudeln,

2 TL Zimt

Dies ist ein Hühnergericht, dass die Familie meines Vaters in Ägypten kochte. Ich fand ein ähnliches Rezept gleichen Namens in einem syrischen Kochbuch aus dem 13. Jahrhundert. Kürzlich erzählte mir ein Freund, der aus Beirut kam, es sei das Samstagsgericht im Wadi - dem jüdischen Viertel, in dem sich die Synagoge, die Schule der "Alliance" und der koschere Fleischhauer befanden. Dort ließ man es über Nacht im Ofen des Bäckers. Ich fand auch ein ähnliches Gericht, das für marokkanische Hochzeitsgesellschaften zubereitet wird. Das folgende Rezept vereint die Methoden und Gewürze der 3 Länder. Es ist Hausmannkost, doch köstlich sättigend. Der Reiz liegt darin, dass die Nudeln in der aromatischen Hühnersauce gegart werden.

Weitere Angaben auch zur Beiruter Version und der Version auf jüdischen Hochzeiten in Marokko siehe im Buch von Claudia Roden, Seite 290

Saving Money in Lebanon

Living in Lebanon is exciting at eh slowest of times, and because the Lebanese people are constantly bombarded with “excitement” a little bit of peace of mind is an oasis everyone is searching for.

The biggest hurdle we are faced with as a society is our retirement. With the current crop of social problems, welfare and retirement funds are almost nonexistent and a backup plan is a necessity. Finding a plan to begin with is very difficult, finding a good one, even more so.

However BBAC bank is here to provide you a great solution. BBAC, in collaboration with Allianz SNA, offers the retirement saving plan, "JANA”, designed to provide the protection you need to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle during your retirement and maintain a decent standard of living.

A saving plan is not a luxury, you need this plan to be able to face the continuously rising cost of living by the time you retire. It works by deducting a monthly amount from your income, and by doing so you can secure financial protection for you and your family and build a retirement that suits your ambitions and satisfies your needs.

Applying to the JANA plan is very easy as BBAC has made every effort to ensure everyone can benefit from this plan. The conditions are simple and listed here:

You must hold an account at BBAC

You must be between 18 and 55 years old

The contract should be for a minimum period of 10 years

The insurance part of the plan allows a sum (insured) to be paid to the designated beneficiaries in the event of natural or accidental death of the Insured. However you do retain the possibility to benefit from additional return on investment according to the dividend rate declared annually by Allianz SNA and flexible plan that allows you to change the insured amount, the monthly premiums and the variation rate.

To learn more and better secure your future click on the JANA page to know all the extra details, as well as estimate how much you can benefit from the plan or better yet, head out to your nearest BBAC Branch and have any representative help you to begin planning your future.

Save yourself the hassle of doing all the research and have the professionals help you make the most well informed and best choice that will suit your job, your career and your future to come.
