Companies like CAT have no legally mandated moral responsibility to do anything.

Yr arguing something I haven't said. I've not said a word about the moral responsibility of companies being legally mandated, and while you'll totally disagree, I do believe that if a company refuses to take moral responsibility, there are cases when they should be legally forced to...

And by saying they shouldn't sell to Israel, you are telling them to set foreign policy.

Why are you continuing to claim I've said something I haven't said, even after I've told you what I'm saying? I have absolutely no problem with them selling to Israel if the purpose of the equipment is NOT to commit human rights abuses. So, if Israel wants to buy bulldozers to use in a normal way that doesn't involve human rights abuses, I've got no problems with sales in those cases...

Which questions. This thread is getting a bit unwieldy, so if I missed them, I will try to catch up.

Okay. I'm hoping you did the math on this and worked it out for yrself, though...

*And as for tunnels, let's use Rafah as an example. How many tunnels were uncovered in Rafah? And use a credible source, not proven liars like the IDF. Now, how many homes were destroyed in Rafah? There goes any attempt to paint all those whose homes are destroyed as not being innocent civilians....

And seeing as how I asked you about SETTLERS who assault and sometimes murder Palestinian civilians, not SOLDIERS, I'll ask this one again too...

*And while we're discussing what makes someone an innocent civilian or not, wouldn't you also believe that Israeli settlers in the Occupied Territories aren't innocent civilians either, because they harbour those who attack and sometimes kill Palestinians? Or does it only apply to Palestinians?
