Lefties are unhappy that Caterpillar allows its equipment to be used by Israel and are calling for a boycott of Caterpillar clothing:

But customers are now being urged to boycott the construction and clothing company because it supplies bulldozers to the Israeli government, which uses the vehicles to destroy Palestinian homes, roads and olive groves.

Caterpillar doesn’t “supply” the bulldozers, it sells them.

They have also been used to build the controversial “security wall” which has attracted international opprobrium.

The wall that is “controversial” only because it has stopped the murder of women and children by homicide bombers.

You’ll remember that the Corries are the parents of that idiot peace activist that stood in front of a bulldozer and was surprised to find that her soft little body didn’t stop a couple of tons of steel. Surprised to death, that is, as it rolled over her because the driver wasn’t on the lookout for moonbats.

Well, the Corrie’s have jumped on the anti-Caterpillar bandwagon:

Mr and Mrs Corrie announced last month that they are suing Caterpillar for violating the Geneva Convention and American torture laws in allowing its equipment to be used against the Palestinian people and their homes.

That’s it. Blame the company for creating a useful product. That’s a little lot like lefties wanting to sue gun companies for the fact that some people commit crimes with their products.

The left-wing Independent is incensed.

Caterpillar Incorporated made more than £1bn in profit last year.

Heavens! Capitalism in action! Stop it! Throw those people out of a job!

The Israeli army has more than 100 D9 bulldozers in use and recently placed an order for a further 25 vehicles.

Must be good equipment!

A spokesman for the firm said: “Caterpillar shares the world’s concern over unrest in the Middle East and we certainly have compassion for all those affected by the political strife.

“However, more than two million Caterpillar machines and engines are at work in virtually every country and region of the world each day.

“We have neither the legal right nor the means to police individual use of that equipment.

Exactly!

The Independent urges consumers to boycott several companies, listing them at the bottom of the article.

In response, I urge you to immediately go buy some cool Caterpillar hats. Great gift items! Don’t forget the toys for kids.
