Today activists around the world will participate in an international day of action against Caterpillar to protest its policy of selling bulldozers to the Israeli army.  I am about to head to a protest just south of Seattle.

Israel uses Caterpillar bulldozers to commit a number of human rights violations against Palestinians, including the killing of innocent civilians, the demolishing of homes, the destruction of agricultural land, and the building of an illegal wall in the West Bank.
