The Presbyterian General Assembly’s decision to...[divest from Caterpillar, HP and Motorola Solutions] has triggered condemnations and congratulations, with the Israeli Embassy calling the resolution “shameful.”...Those advocating divestment singled out Caterpillar because its bulldozers have been used to demolish Palestinian homes. Motorola Solutions was selected because the Israeli Defense Force buys the company’s communications technologies. Hewlett-Packard was targeted...because its biometric scanners are used at checkpoints...Motorola Solutions said it had “a comprehensive set of policies and procedures that addresses human rights...to ensure that our operations worldwide are conducted using the highest standards of integrity and ethical business conduct...” Caterpillar said... “...we believe it is appropriate for such a resolution to be reached via political and diplomatic channels. Furthermore, Caterpillar does not weaponize machines sold to the U.S. government and transferred to Israel.” Hewlett-Packard told the Associated Press that its checkpoints for Palestinians were developed to expedite passage “in a secure environment, enabling people to get to their place of work or to carry out their business in a faster and safer way.” [also refers to G4S]
