But I thought the Palestinians were boycotting Caterpillar.

Just like with guns, idiot journalists never get pieces of construction equipment right. This IS NOT a bulldozer:

I believe the average family income in the PA is about 1500. About 1000 less per year than the 2500 that is the average for Arabic states.

Your photo is NOT what was used...it was a JCB rubber-tired backhoe loader...not a bulldozer either.

From the title, I expected an uplifting Rachel Corrie thread.

[chaimke]

You are absolutely right, which only makes Suha Arafat’s allowance that much more egregious

[chaimke]

Right, a bulldozer attack in Jerusalem story is getting to be so ho-hum, boooring

[Michael.SF.]

I referred to the title, which says nothing of an attack.

[chaimke]

It, nevertheless, is getting boring and most of the MSM won’t touch this

[Michael.SF.]

OK. Fair enough. I actually thought you were being sarcastic, which can be difficult to discern sometimes.

On the other hand, Rachel Corrie threads always make me laugh, guess I have a sick sense of humor.

The link shows the photo I used, but yeah, a JCB TLB is NOT a bulldozer, either.

[Cuttnhorse]

Interesting that the loader photo is the link used...this morning on FOX News they showed a JCB with the front windshield broken out and focused on it as the guilty tool.

Megyn Kelly must be tired of me sending her emails hollering about the “Bulldozer” thing. LOL

I didn’t catch it on TV, thanks for clarifying.

Does it also bug you when people say cement when referring to concrete?

[Cuttnhorse]

Yep...like fingernails on a blackboard.

[Travis T. OJustice]

How you been, bro! LOL.

SNIPPET: “A tractor plowed into a police squad car on Menachem Begin Boulevard in Jerusalem on Thursday. The driver was apparently also trying to hit a nearby bus, but missed.”

SNIPPET: “Thursday’s tractor attack is the third of its kind in the capital: July of 2008 saw two such attacks – the first resulting in three people dead and 30 injured and the second resulting in 18 people injured. In both cases, the assailant was a resident of east Jerusalem.”

SNIPPET from post no. 18:

“The tractor driver, later identified as Mir’i Radeideh, 26, from the Beit Hanina neighborhood in east Jerusalem, died of his wounds.”
