Action: Send a thank-you note to Caterpillar
The following is a letter from David Meir-Levi to Caterpillar. May I suggest that we follow David's lead. Congratulating Israel's supporters is even more important than protesting to Israel's enemies.
To: Directors, Caterpiller International

Dear Board of Directors:
Thank you for continuing to do business with Israel despite the anti-Israel groups that are pressuring you. I applaud your rejection of the anti-Israel divestment resolution introduced last year: Foreign policy decisions should be made by governments, not by private companies.
Israel is a democracy that has sought peace but has been attacked over and over, and forced to defend itself against the relentless Arab terror war that has gone on for more than 55 years. With your equipment, Israel has been able to continue its policy of sparing civilians while targeting suicide bombers' homes and terrorists' arms smuggling tunnels, building a defensive barrier against terrorist invaders, and upgrading its defensive measures.
Perhaps the greatest irony, that is lost upon your detractors and the supporters of divestment, is that your equipment is in the hands of a country that is countering this unprecedented terrorist onslaught with almost exclusively defensive measures, puting its own troops at risk to avoid civilian casualites, and thus upholding the highest humanitarian and ethical standards even while facing a ruthless and barbaric genocidal enemy.
Thank you for resisting the pressures of groups who claim that they are for peace and an end to violence, when in fact they support those who glorify violence and want victory, not peace.
Thank you for playing a stalwart role in the fight against terrorism.
David Meir-Levi,
Menlo Park, California
