Among the most terrible aspects of the Israeli regime's tyranny is the destruction of tens of thousands of Palestinian homes in the West Bank and Gaza Strip by using giant bulldozers. This inhuman activity often results in deaths because it is done even when the occupants are still in their houses.

These bulldozers are also used to destroy roads, water supply systems and electricity supply systems in Palestinian cities in the West Bank.

Recently, a bulldozer was used to kill several Palestinian refugees living around a hospital in Gaza by driving over them and burying them alive.

The machinery most often used by the oppressive Israeli regime is supplied by the Caterpillar company from the United States.

The machines were also used in the West Bank to build hundreds of illegal Israeli settlements on land illegally seized from the Palestinians.

The company that distributes Caterpillar machinery in the region is Sime Darby, and Sime Darby's largest shareholder is PNB.

We call on PNB to put pressure on Sime Darby to review their business relationship with the Caterpillar company and boycott the company if that's what it takes to ensure they stop aiding Israel's atrocities against the Palestinian people. This is the minimum contribution that Malaysia can make to defend the Palestinian people from being oppressed by Zionist Israel.
