Caterpillar: Stop Bulldozing Palestinian Lives

To:  Shareholders of Caterpillar Corporation

We object to our tax dollars being used to supply Israel with Caterpillar bulldozers that have inflicted collective punishment on the Palestinian people by:

• demolishing over 12,600 Palestinian homes, sometimes with residents still inside;

• uprooting hundreds of thousands of Palestinian-owned olive and fruit trees;

• destroying large tracts of Palestinian agricultural lands, roads, water supplies and sewage systems.

We call on the Caterpillar Corporation to abide by its own Code of Worldwide Business Conduct and stop selling bulldozers as weapons. It should refuse to send its D9 bulldozers to Israel in the US military aid package as long as its products are being used to destroy homes, lives and property in violation of US and international law.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
