“I look forward to seeing more and more people willing to resist the direction the world is moving in, a direction where our personal experiences are irrelevant, that we are defective, that our communities are not important, that we are powerless, that our future is determined, and that the highest level of humanity is expressed through what we choose to buy at the mall.”
― Rachel Corrie, My Name is Rachel Corrie

#D9Bulldozers / Israeli military's use of weaponized bulldozers: from "No Other Land" to Rachel Corrie

[...] In the same breath, Trump promised to end the war in Gaza and return all the hostages, and also released 132 Caterpillar D-9 bulldozers – lethal weapons that Israel had requested. The Biden administration refused to supply these bulldozers because they were not informed of their exact intended use. The Trump administration waived the army's explanations, which mainly claimed that military bulldozers are needed for the 'war on terror': to clear areas dangerous to soldiers and to assist in dismantling booby-trapped buildings and explosive devices.

The Israeli military has a long-standing relationship with weaponized bulldozers, used since 1948 to displace Palestinians. The D-9 bulldozer, often used in the demolition of Palestinian homes, was notably involved in the death of activist Rachel Corrie in 2003. The film "No Other Land" documents the ongoing destruction of Palestinian communities in Masafer Yatta, showcasing the use of bulldozers in what is described as a systematic expulsion program. Despite promises of a thorough investigation into Corrie's death, the Israeli military was cleared of responsibility, with the court ruling it a "regrettable accident".
