The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has voted to divest its holdings in three companies — Caterpillar, Hewlett-Packard and Motorola Solutions — that it says supply equipment used by Israel in the occupation of Palestinian territory.

 The moderator of the Presbyterian general assembly, Heath Rada, said that the bulldozers that Caterpillar makes for Israel are "not like anything we see in" the U.S. They are designed "to be destructive."

 Caterpillar has said it does not sell equipment to Israel, just to the U.S. government.
