JOIN CPT TO TELL BOEING AND CATERPILLAR TO PUT THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AND PALESTINE AHEAD OF PROFITS!
During the current upheaval in Israel and Palestine, CPT's Hebron team
has witnessed the Israeli government's Boeing-made Apache attack
helicopters used as a weapon against innocent Palestinian civilians,
including children. For several decades, the Israeli military has used
Caterpillar bulldozers to destroy Palestinian homes and dispossess
thousands of families.
In response to the ongoing devastation, CPT will hold the Saturday vigil
at Boeing to launch an eight day, 170-mile walk to the Caterpillar plant
in Peoria, IL. The walk will be led by CPTers Michael Goode -- who was
denied entry into Israel and Palestine by Israeli authorities on June 24
-- and Cliff Kindy. They will be visiting churches along the route and
urging Boeing and Caterpillar to place the lives of the innocent children
of Palestine and Israel ahead of profits.
The current fleet of Israeli Apaches has already proven far too lethal to
Palestinian children. Nonetheless, the government of Israel has announced
its intention to upgrade its current fleet of Apaches with Boeing's
AH-64D Longbow, a helicopter Boeing claims is the world's deadliest --
400% more lethal than previous models. CPT believes that selling more and
deadlier weapons of destruction to the government of Israel will escalate
the conflict, adding still more to the number of dead and injured Israeli
and Palestinian children and their families.
Caterpillar manufactures the bulldozers the Israeli military has used to
systematically destroy thousands of Palestinian homes in the past two
decades. CPT has documented over one hundred such demolitions in the
Hebron district over the past seven years. Thousands more Palestinian
children are at risk of being left homeless and hopeless by impending
demolitions.
CPT Hebron has consisted of approximately 6-8 members working with
Israeli and Palestinian peacemakers since June 1995.

Kindy and Goode will begin their walk heading south and west on Ogden
Avenue. They will spend the first night in Bridgeview, IL, visiting with
the local Arab-American community and a local mosque. The walk will end
Sunday, July 14, at the Caterpillar plant in Peoria.
You are invited to participate in the vigil or join Goode and Kindy for
any part of their journey.
For more information, please call 1-312-455-1199. During their walk,
Goode and Kindy can be reached at 1-312-933-8986.
