CRH and Caterpillar profit from supplying IDF

C.R.H. & CATERPILLAR PROFIT FROM THE ISRAELI MILITARY
Protest at their offices
Meet at 6pm at the Belgard Luas stop (Red Line), Tuesday 20th January

Socialist Youth is organising a protest at the HQ of Cement Roadstone Holdings (CRH) and the Irish subsidiary of Caterpillar. Reasons to protest :
- to call for an end to the IDF's horrific onslaught Gaza that has
already led to the deaths of over 1,000 Palestinians, many
of whom are young people, children and babies.

- Multinationals like CRH and Caterpillar make massive profits
supplying the Israeli state with equipment to lay siege to
Palestine

- CRH supplies the Israeli state with cement to build a wall around the West Bank, effectively imprisoning Palestinians

- Caterpillar makes bulldozers that destroy Palestinian homes. A caterpilar bulldozer killed peace activist Rachel Corrie when she was working as a 'human shield' in Palestine. It also supplies equipment to build the separation wall.
