| Arbel Yehoud with her partner Ariel Cunio, still captive in Gaza, and their rescue puppy, Murph |
When Eli Sharabi appeared on our screens wasted, skeletal, like
an apparition from the Holocaust, it broke our hearts. We knew he’d been
through a Holocaust without having heard the details. And like so many other
survivors of the previous Holocaust, Eli was to learn what he’d hoped against
hope was not true: no one in his immediate family was waiting for him. Eli
Sharabi’s wife was gone. His two daughters were gone. His home was gone. Even his
dog was gone—on October 7, Hamas shot Eli Sharabi’s four-legged
friend dead, too.
Before the release of Eli Sharabi, there was Arbel Yehoud,
squeezed on every side by masked Hamas terrorists armed to the teeth. She was
terrified. No one had explained what was happening to her now, and she was sure
that this time she would not manage to cheat death as she had for over a year.
But Arbel did survive and she did get out.
Arbel’s partner, of course, is still suffering, still locked
away in Gaza—we hope—because the alternative is death. But Arbel’s dog Murph is
not suffering, and not locked away for some indeterminate period of unending
time. Murph was shot dead by Hamas terrorists on October 7.
Emily Damari impressed us all with her spunky personality
still shining through after going through hell. With good humor, Emily gave us
the victory sign despite her missing fingers. Hamas had shot her in the hand.
They sewed it up crudely, without anesthesia, in unhygienic conditions, but Emily
survived.
Emily Damari’s dog Choocha did not. Like so many other
faithful family dogs on that black day in October, Emily’s dog had been shot dead.
What are we supposed to make of terrorists whose hate for Jews runs so deep and so black that even their pets must be eliminated? Do Nukhba “fighters” and the “just regular Gazan folk” who poured across the border to slaughter Jews, see these dogs as having a taint by association with their Jewish masters, or did the terrorists simply murder them for sport?

| Here we see a dog come bounding out of a house towards the October 7 attackers, hoping to protect his owners, only to be immediately mowed down with a barrage of bullets |
 |
| He staggers along through several shots |
Did they murder the dogs to shut them up so they wouldn’t alert their owners to
the horror that was about to descend upon them? Or did the murderers perhaps
murder these beloved family pets to inflict maximum pain on their Jewish owners?
Who knows?

Perhaps the murderers murdered these voiceless, intelligent
creatures because in their brand of Islam, dogs are impure and spread impurity
and may therefore be mistreated and killed at will. Especially, if you happen
to be a monster that craves blood. Maybe it doesn’t matter whose blood is shed,
blood is blood, and all of it makes terrorists happy. They see red and it gives
them joy. And it didn’t begin on October 7.
In November 2022, Tayseer Abu Sneineh, the mayor of Hebron and a convicted murderer of six Israelis, announced a 20 shekel bounty—about $5—to anyone who captured or killed a stray dog. The Arab residents of that town proceeded to go on a wild shooting spree, torturing and killing dozens of dogs. Judging by the subsequent flood of footage and photos on social media, the Hebron dog massacre was probably less about the money than the easy attainment of a license to kill. This appalling episode suggests that PA and Hamas-ruled Arabs do indeed enjoy spilling the blood of living things, in particular, Jews and dogs.
It’s reasonable to wonder what Islam has to say about killing dogs, creatures unable to defend themselves from a maniac with a gun. Well, it’s not that the Quran says it straight out: “Kill dogs.” But it comes pretty close. According to one Hadith, for every day that a Muslim keeps a dog as a pet, he loses a part of his heavenly reward:
[Ibn ‘Umar] said:
“I heard [Mohammed] say: ‘Whoever keeps a dog, except a dog that is trained for hunting or a dog for herding livestock, his reward will decrease each day by two Qirats.’”
. . . What is the meaning of Qirats? When the companions asked [Mohammed] about its meaning he said: “Equal to two huge mountains.”
Raising a dog or keeping a dog decreases our good deeds.
When keeping a dog for any of the reasons known in shariah then you should prepare a separate place for it [as] dogs shouldn’t enter the house.
Muslims are permitted to keep dogs for practical reasons
like hunting, herding, and serving as watchdogs. Unfortunately, abuse of these smart,
sensitive animals is widespread. “I volunteer at the Gush Etzion Municipal
Pound,” relates Efrat resident Leora Hyman. “We get dogs from the surrounding
area. We have had dogs and puppies come in with no ears. Their ears are hacked
off. I have heard that it's done so when the dogs are guarding outside in the
rain, the rain and the wind will get into their ears and bother them so much,
so they won't fall asleep. One puppy came in with no ears, cigarette burns and
a knife wound.
“I adopted one of those puppies and he could never get over
his trauma of being in a small place,” said Hyman. “If he were in a small space
he would become aggressive. If he saw Arab workers, he would bark at them even
though he was friendly to everyone else. Always.
“Other puppies have come in and not been so traumatized, but
their ears are gone and they struggle in the rain and wind. I bought my dog an
ear covering for walks in the rain.”
It’s painful to hear about and witness such cruelty, but
even more difficult to understand why the world would cheer on a motley crew of
dog killers. Sure, we understand that the world hates Jews. But dogs??
You’d think that all the students and others protesting
Israel’s “genocide” of “innocent” Gazans, in addition to supposedly caring
about the Gazan people, would also care about animal rights. What would these
green-smoothie-drinking college campus protesters say were we to show them the clips
and photos of Hamas terrorists shooting defenseless creatures dead on October
7? There’s no lack of such photographic evidence. The terrorists filmed the
whole thing themselves with their GoPro cameras.
Would the protesters make excuses of some sort for this show of barbarism—the cold-hearted murder of harmless pets? Surely pets have no religion and no political bent for which they might reasonably be slaughtered. Or is killing a dog somehow different when it happens while ridding the world of colonialist Apartheid Jew occupiers?
Can excuses be made in such a case? Or
even denials? Can one reasonably claim that the GoPro footage was edited?
There was no outrage at the gang-raping
and genital mutilation of Jewish women on October 7. There was no outcry as Jewish
women in captivity continued to be sexually abused by their captors. But there
was also no outcry and no outrage at the murdering of several of man’s best
friends.
Could it be that when a man is Jewish, man’s best friend is
nothing but a conniving Jew?
