American Hero Rachael Corrie when an Israeli Death Squad Bulldozer 
Viewed 14685 times
murdered her. Because of this ILLEGAL and IMMORAL use of Caterpillar 
Bulldozers by Israel, all the Arab World boycotts Caterpillar. Because of 
the murder of Rachael Corrie, now even much of Europe has started 
boycotting Caterpillar. Caterpillar would be TWICE as big if it just 
stopped selling equipment to Israel or at least demands that Israel not 
use its equipment for illegal war crimes. If Israel wants to commit those 
war crimes, then Caterpillar should tell Israel to use tanks for those 
crimes and not Caterpillar equipment.
BTW, when gas was almost $5 a 
gallon, there was TREMENDOUS wealth gained in the Middle East in Qatar, 
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirites, etc. Much of that wealth was 
used to buy CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT to build beautiful new cities that are 
the ENVY of every city in the US and Europe. Those cities were built by 
Volvo and Hitachi consturction equipment because of Caterpillar is stupid 
decision to sell equipment to Israel. Why would Caterpillar make a 
decision that is SO HARMFUL to its workers and stockholders? Is the 
Caterpillar board given bribes by Israel or something? Why do not the 
Caterpillar workers have a chance to vote and see if the wanna boycott 
selling equipment to Israel so that they can double their income and get 
tons of new sales in the Middle East and Europe?
Jane S, you must be 
RETARDED.
The Arabs already have advanced weapons such as The Saudi 
Eurofighter Typhoon(The most advanced Fighter Plane in ALL of ASIA), 
Egyptian M1 Abrams Tank, and Saudi Chinese made IRBMs, etc. so l CERTAINLY 
doubt that the'd need the construction equipment as weapons.
It is 
just Israel is terrorism against women and children that causes all the 
problems in the Middle East.
Speaking of Hotels, how do you know 
that Israeli Terrorists wo not bomb it the way ISRAELl TERRORISTS bombed 
the King David Hotel? That is why Brits hate Israelis to this day, they 
know that Israelis used TERRORISM to get a country.
Paulie, 
Caterpillar IS GOING BROKE. They've fired like a bazillion employees and 
asking for like BILLIONS of dollars of bailouts. In other words the 
Boycotts HURT Caterpillar REALLY REALLY BADLY.
FLAG PERSON. HOW DARE 
YOU make up lies about a hero like Rachael Corrie. The whole world knows 
that she was MURDERED by an Israeli Terrorist Bulldozer Driver. I will 
take the word of all the Americans who were there with her over some 
Israeli LIARS ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. An Israeli is word is worth about as 
much as dog poop. Israel is broken about every promise it is ever made 
broken all agreements they've ever made, and started EVERY WAR they've 
ever been in.
BK, you're just making things up. Caterpillar is NOT 
doing excellent.
Look at how their stocks are doing. />http://stocktradingtogo.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/cat.png/>Also, Caterpillar is doing SO badly that they're laying off people left 
and right. />http://money.cnn.com/2009/03/17/news/companies/caterpillar_jobs.reut/index.htm/>

All big companies have been whittled down but that doesn't mean  
construction will stop & everyone knows Cat is the best.  
If a few buy less to boycott Cat it won't matter a bit.  
You have a lot to say about something you obviously know little about.  
Cats don't kill. Suicidal idiots walk out in front of them. Suicidal  
Muslims use them as weapons.  
Where would they get them if they didn't sell to Israel.

Why boycott them anyway (not that it isn’t anyones right to buy or not  
buy a product)? A bulldozer isn’t designed to be a weapon. For  
example, if you run me over with a Ford automobile is it Fords fault for  
selling the automobile to you? I mean Israel isn’t boycotting  
Caterpillar for the latest bulldozer attacks by Palestinians.  
 
Edit: Huh, well I didn't know that. However, it is not just Caterpillar  
that is hurting, all construction relatd industries are distressed due to  
the economic crisis.
