#1 Caterpillar quite rightly takes the position that they are in the buisness of making and selling heavy equipment. What their customers do with the heavy equipment is not their buisness.

#2 Can these people become even more of a looneytune outfit of wankers? Hard to imagine. Why not get upset that Israelis might breathe air or drink Cokes... same effect...

#3 HRW is flatass wrong. All that must happen for Israel to stop the bulldozing is for the paleshitians to stop blowing themselves up amidst innocent Israelis.

The bulldozing is a result of the homicide bombers. Not the other way around. Israel will stop bulldozing as soon as they quit seeing their old people, men, women, babies, school children, tourists, boys, and girls blown all to hell on their city buses and streets.

#4 Anyone noticed that they don't care about sales to say, North Korea, Saudi Arabia or Sudan? Anyone willing to give some clues about the reasons?

#5 The patron Saint of Pancakes, Rachel Corrie's hippy throwback parents have been involved with HRW I read somewhere, wouldn't be suprised to find out thats where this retarded idea came from.
Since they weren't smart enough to teach their asshole kid to stay out from under them, maybe they're trying protect other asshole kids who are as obnoxiously stupid from similar fates at the hands of evil Jews.
JFM, its all about the JOOOOS! Lefties think the Israelis are to blame for the Paleos being murderous wackjobs.

#6 I have a better idea.

We should embargo all bus sales to Israel !

More people have been killed using the WMD known as the BUS.

It's time to get serious.
If we embargoall bus sales we can save lives and feel good about ourselves while waving our finger at people in danger

#7 I agree with HRW, taking Caterpillars from their families when they are but little larvae is cruel. We should only be sending chrysalides. Pupas for Israel!

#11 I think CAT should give the JOOOOOS a discount, because of this free press. Hell even I want a D-9 in my garage.
