THE DUTCH DOGS OF ISRAELI OCCUPATION
Israel is using dogs imported from the Netherlands to terrorize Palestinians in the occupied territories.
There is a long history of Israeli use of dogs against Palestinians - including training dogs to be suicide bombers to attack the positions of Palestinian resistance group PFLP-GC during Israel's occupation of southern Lebanon in 1988.
It's claimed that Israel uses more dogs in military activities than any other state in the world. Much of this happens under the dedicated Unit 7142.
The training and treatment of these dogs themselves is not, of course, good.
At the same time Israel has committed large-scale killings of dogs owned by Palestinians - one massacre in occupied Hebron 1995 led to the killings of up to 150 dogs by Israel's occupation forces.
Dogs owned by Palestinians, especially those owned by shepherds, are often killed by Israel's illegal settlers.

"This video shows Israeli forces using a dog to attack and injure 20-year-old Ahmad Shteiwi as he participated in an anti-occupation protest in the West Bank village of Kufr Qaddoum, near Nablus, in March 2012.
It is one of numerous instances of Israeli forces setting dogs on unarmed Palestinian civilians, including children – a violent tactic reminiscent of US police practices against Black citizens.
The Palestinian human rights group Al-Haq and Dutch lawmakers are calling on the Netherlands to immediately halt the annual export of dozens of police and military dogs to Israel.
Such dogs “are intentionally used by Israeli occupying forces to terrorize and bite Palestinian civilians, especially during protests and night house raids,” Al-Haq director Shawan Jabarin wrote to Dutch foreign minister Bert Koenders and trade minister Lilianne Ploumen earlier this month."
