In Humboldt County CA, forest defense activists are struggling to protect old growth redwood forests from MAXXAM/Pacific Lumber logging corporation. Maxxam clear cuts old growth redwood ecosystems, putting endangered species like the marbled murrelet at risk of extinction..
After clearcutting, CATerpillar bulldozers/equipment are often used to remove any leftover stumps or trees from the site. This irony shows the use of these weapons of mass destruction to destroy homes in Palestine and destroy redwoods ecosystems in Humboldt..
There is a probable link between Maxxam CEO Charles Hurwitz and funding of apartheid Israel. Hurwitz and GW Bush have a cozy relationship and are both neo-conservative Zionists who are currently waging war against the Palestinian/Arab population. It is likely that any profits from redwood timber harvesting by Maxxam was/is being funneled into the vast nuclear weapons arsenal of apartheid Israel..
