Allianz is an Israeli owned Insurance company which should be boycotted because of the Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people.
We know about the campaign by some members of the GAA to get that organisation to cut all ties with the Allianz Insurance Company because it is Israeli owned. It is thought by some in the GAA to be one way of sending a strong message to the Israel government of Netanyahu – stop the genocide.
Perhaps, not many are yet aware of the Irish Catholic church connection with the Allianz. The Irish Catholic Church at national and diocesan level is deeply connected with the Allianz Insurance Company. Most of the Catholic clergy have their car Insurance with Allianz which used be known as Church & General. Most Catholic Church property in Ireland is insured with Allianz.
The leadership of the Irish Catholic Church should immediately cut all ties with Allianz – if they are serious about their opposition to the genocide in Gaza and the West Bank.
It is time for the Catholic Church to stand up for justice for the oppressed people of Gaza. Words are not enough. Prayers are not enough. It is time for action. Boycott Allianz which proudly boasts in Catholic publications that it has been ‘protecting Dioceses, Parishes and Religious Orders since 1902’.
Between the GAA and the Catholic Church this Israeli owned outfit is taking large sums of money out of this country.
All concerned people should contact bishops, priests and Religious orders asking them to cease using Allianz.
thanks for that Joe. I was not aware of that information.
