[let's expose] Divesting from Israel’s “Weapon of Mass Destruction”: After saying for years that they couldn’t see anything unethical about it, Church bosses finally agreed with the rest of us that Caterpillar’s D-9 bulldozer, which is used in the Holy Land for the ugly purpose of demolishing Palestinian homes, uprooting olive groves and destroying civilian infrastructure, is more like a vicious weapon in Israel’s hands than a civil engineering tool.

[Webdiary - Founded and Inspired by Margo Kingston - Webdiary - Independent, Ethical, Accountable and Transparent] Rudd, neoliberalism, and the poverty of thought | Webdiary ...: To the astonishment of the right wing commentariat who thought that the ALP had been totally captured by neo-liberalism during the Hawke/Keating ascendancy, Rudd drives right to the heart of the neo-liberal agenda by identifying its strategies and refuting, with factually based argument, its fundamental premises. He identifies a successful attack of the legitimacy of the state as the key neo-liberal strategy:

[Divestment Support Committee] Church of England divested from Caterpillar: It reads: “We believe that given the events in Gaza as well as the continued illegal occupation of whole swathes of Palestinian land and the illegal land grabs by settlers, supported by the Israeli Government, that the Church of England must make good on its policy of disinvestment and withdraw its investments from those who profit from the misery of millions of Palestinians immediately.”
