"Since 1967 Israel has used Caterpillar bulldozers to demolish nearly 9,000 Palestinian homes, leaving more than 50,000 people homeless. Since the outbreak of the Palestinian uprising in September 2000, Israel has razed the homes of 12,737 Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In the past two years the Israeli army deployed Caterpillar bulldozers to uproot 200,000 Palestinian olive trees." - from the Stop Caterpillar National Campaign.
Act now to stop the Caterpillar Corporation from selling its D9, D10, and D11 bulldozers to Israel to illegally destroy Palestinian homes and farm lands. Learn how you can get involved, petition CAT shareholders, or boycott CAT products. To better understand why read the articles below:
