HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH CALLS FOR CATERPILLAR BOYCOTT OF ISRAEL

Calls to Stop Selling Heavy Equipment to Israel
The New York-based Human Rights Watch organization is calling on Caterpillar Inc. to stop selling heavy bulldozers to Israel because they are used by the IDF to level PA homes." Caterpillar betrays its stated values when it sells bulldozers to Israel knowing they are being used to illegally destroy Palestinian homes," Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East Director at Human Rights Watch, said in a statement. "Until Israel stops these practices, Caterpillar's continued sales will make the company complicit in human rights abuses."

I'M STILL WAITING FOR HRW TO CALL ON THE WORLD TO STOP SELLING EXPLOSIVES TO THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY.
