Remember Rachel Corrie - Stop Caterkiller!
On Monday March 16, on the sixth Anniversary of the murder of Rachel Corrie by an Israel Bulldozer driver, all posts in this blog will dedicated to her memory.
Administrator
Six years ago, a Caterpillar bulldozer, driven by an Israeli soldier crushed and killed Rachel Corrie, today Cat continues to profit from sales of their bulldozers to the Israeli military and even used them in their recent assualt on the Gaza Strip.
Caterpillar equipment and bulldozers are used as military weapons by Israel. They are destructive weapons specially fitted with armaments such as machine guns, grenade launchers and much more. These destructive machines have unlawfully demolished thousands of homes, killed innocent civilians, including U.S. citizen Rachel Corrie, built illegal settlements, uprooted thousand-year old olive trees, torn up roads, and devastated basic infrastructure in many Palestinian villages.
Caterpillar must ensure that international law not is violated with its products. For example, Article 147 of the Fourth Geneva Convention deems the “extensive destruction and appropriation of property carried out unlawfully and wantonly” to be a war crime.
We ask for activists all around the country to send Caterpillar a strong message. Take action now by sending Caterpillar’s board of directors a letter telling them that we will not forget Rachel Corrie or the work that she died doing.

Corrie was killed by her friends who snapped pictures of her while she say in front of the damed dozer, they could have dropped the cameras but the pics were to good to miss. ever wonder why they let her die? the driver in his armored cab couldn’rt hear anything except his radio over the engine noises so no one screaming could be heard, anyone who worked around heavy equipment knows this, and if this is your case agains CAT then you should also start a case against JCB which is the choice of Terrorists running into cars and people in Jerusalem….

I understand that caterpillar tractors are also available in gaza.
As hamas sends over rockets into Israeli civilian centres, will you also be boycotting the Palestinians?

Rachel corrie was clearly visable to the Bulldozer driver, and did nothing to provake an attack.
She was run over twice!

That proves you have never seen an armored D-9 up close. the driver has a shoe box sized window to look out of and a large blade that he can’t see through and if someone is sitting down in front of that blade they are not seen by the driver,., corrie was let to die for a freaking photo op! real friends would have dropped the cameras to pull her away, but handelers wanted the death for the papers the next day…

Who said she was sitting down?
Your last comment proves you don’t know the actual facts,she stood in front of the Caterpillar bulldozer, waving to the driver to try to get him to stop. Nearby witnesses from England testified that the driver and soldiers in a nearby Israeli tank knew of her presence. Corrie was crushed when the bulldozer went over her body twice.

Sorry sonny. look at the pics of the time she got run over. she was sitting down this time. note the background of all the pics you see of this. note the position of the sun etc cause they followed the d-9 all around during the day.. and the useful morons made a nice but lame attempt at putting a photo slide show together but anyone with an EYE can see that the pics were taken at differant times and locations.
corrie was murdered by her handelers not Israel
she was a photo op just waiting to happen

What do you expect after being run over TWO TIMES? Do you really think she would standing up after being run over two times? Nice try but your argument is ridiculos.
Witnesses testified that the driver and soldiers were nearby with a tank crew. They knew of her presence and the other peace activists. As far as I know the Driver and the Israeli tank crew nearby were not legally blind!

You are proving to be the dimmist bulb in the box. she sat down on the mound! SAT! she could not be seen over the blade. no one in their right freaking mind would do what she did and no real human would leave her to sit there and take pics as it happened then use other footage to make her look like the IDF murdered her.
as for a nearby tank crew , LIE! there was no one nearby, the closest person was in the tower about a mile away talking to the driver over the radio. that tower told the driver to move from place to place,,,,, that group of morons that were puppet masters to corrie chased the D-9 all over the area and were trying to stop him from closing tunnels. NOTES no buildings in the area. Not one building.. Corrie was trying to stop the distruction of smuggling tunnels the same freaking tunnels that brought in the GRAD missles.
and as for your two times. she was hit then the driver backed up. he never fully ran over her so stop lying.
you weren’t there.. I’ve seen the raw footage.
(One of the things folks like me do in the reserves..)

Kumatsu heavy equipment is also used in Israel.
As far as the comment: “Article 147 of the Fourth Geneva Convention deems the “extensive destruction and appropriation of property carried out unlawfully and wantonly” to be a war crime.”
Does this include the manufacturers of rockets/launchers?
[Reply]
and how about the PA dump trucks that have been converted to rocket launchers? should we condem those compaies? hmmmmmmmmmmm?
