Several tears ago, American Rachel Corrie was accidentally run over by an Israeli bulldozer while protesting Israeli actions in the West Bank. Rachel Corrie was supporting terrorists and advocating the Palestinian position of violent confrontation. The dozer that killed her was a Caterpillar D9 and many leftists and Palestinian supporters (but I'm being redundant) called for a boycott of Caterpillar--a call even joined in by the UN.
Fast forward to the present where two violent events have been perpetrated by Palestinians against innocent Israeli's. In the first event, a CATERPILLAR wheel loader (a Cat 966 is clearly visible in the video) was purposely rammed into numerous people on a city street. 3 were killed and many injured. Yesterday, a backhoe driven by a Palestinian worker was also purposely rammed into traffic and sixteen were injured as a result. I can't tell for sure but it appeared to also be a CATERPILLAR.
Here's video that shows both pieces of equipment:
So I ask this question: Will the calls to boycott Caterpillar now end? Rachel Corrie was killed in an accident, three Israeli's were murdered and scores were injured intentionally by rampaging Palestinians who had one thought in mind: kill as many Israeli citizens as possible. I'm guessing we won't hear too many libs screaming about Caterpillar over this incident.

I Guess the Boycott Against Caterpillar Will End

Offhand I'd say that *bulldozer* was either a Deere or a New Holland (Ford).
Cat has a center verticle cylinder to level the front bucket.
It's also too bright of a yellow.
I concur, the "bull dozer" depicted is not a Caterpillar. In addition, the combination loader/backhoe in the video doesn't have the distinctive Cat curved boom on the backhoe. As for the manufacturer, my guess would be JCB.
